Marines landed south of town and worked their way slowly north to encircle it. As one group approached the town from the west they stumbled upon a group of Japanese and a surprise assault ensued. The assault was successful and was followed by another assault of the Japanese units in the town. By turn thirteen the Marines had taken the town and had forced the remaining Japanese unit north of the river just north of the town. The Marines then waited for the inevitable counterattack. The Japanese rolled a six on turn fifteen and got their SNLF reinforcements and moved toward the town. Before they could get to the town to assault it they were thrown back with heavy casualties and weren't able to mount a serious attack after that. Still, on the final turn they mounted a direct fire attack that could have cost the Marines a step and garnered the Japanese a draw, but they couldn't get the roll. All in all, a very fun scenario.
