Disclosure, I am the Designer and feel all my scenarios fall into the range of 4-5, 90-100% or I wouldn’t have created them, so take my ratings with a grain of salt! The only reason any are a 4, is because they are more difficult to make from design to development.

Saipan, scenario thirty one: The Unusual Situation

This was real chest-match and puzzle of a scenario all in one. A small scenario but one that took all 22 turns. The Japanese get two points each for exiting a truck loaded step of INF/SER and a one point for exiting a step by foot, trucks don’t count for the Japanese. The Americans get one point for every Japanese step that doesn’t exit, for any reason including Japanese trucks but the Japanese need these trucks to get two points per Infantry step but don’t want to lose them to give the American victory points either. The Marines setup on the eastern edge of map 83, so the Japanese who enter anywhere on map 83 don’t flank them and the Japanese trucks enter on the west edge of map 82 so you get the picture and in the dark.

The Japanese sent a few units down the road and a few through the jungle and the trucks entered on the far side trying to keep well away from any action but available if needed. The cat & mouse game went on through the night with the Japanese only able to exit one step of truck loaded SER unit for 2 points and none but foot while the Americans earned 4 points for a Minor American Victory. A fun scenario of maneuver and counter maneuver with terrain as a secondary enemy!
