Looking for a quick game to fill in a couple of hours I rolled this one up one my own random tables. This would be my first foray into the Pacific campaign with PG and I was not sure what to expect. The first thing to realize is you need to have the Guadalcanal rule book out as well as all special rule apply to both game sets. Annoying but not a deal breaker, it took me a while also to work out the map configuration but that possibly more down to the half bottle of wine consumed prior to the game than any flaw with the scenario.Once I was sorted this prove a good little time filler. The US have to take three prepared positions and not lose more than 2 steps. The US have excellent OBA and air support, the sons of Nippon have better morale and in my game better leaders. Both side start very close to each other so there was little room for any great strategic moves this would be a firefight at close quarters followed by bloody hand to hand fighting. I resolved as the US to spend 2 turns out of the 7 softening up the Japanese positions then wade in to assault the Japanese player has little to do after his set but reinforce threatened positions and make minor tactical decisions during the game. In my playing the US force quickly took the first set of dug outs but the second assault was a disaster after a counter attack by the defending forces demoralized the entire attacking force including the Major who had led the assault. With the Japanese forces wining the next initiative a further counterattack took three steps of the US forces and by GT 5 it was all over. *As a quick solo game this was an excellent little scenario as an introduction to Pacific PG I will reserve judgement. *
