The US landed with their left flank on the north edge. The Initial landing went well. Although the US did loose 4 steps when an LVT with a whole platoon on board was hit and eliminated with one shot. But other than that no Axis ATG shot scored any more step losses. The Axis OBA was mostly ineffective with the US passing most morale checks.

The US did well vs the somewhat thin Axis line. They carved out a beachhead in the center but both US flanks were threatened by Axis positions. On the left was an entrenchment with a good Capt. and two INF platoons. These were backed by a casement on the high ground just behind. On the right flank the Axis advanced up the coast and established dug in positions in depth just inside the 28 hex beachhead zone. In the end the US just were not timely enough to capture the entire required hex zone. The northern positions fell but the US just could not get enough strength back south by the end to make a winning attack. The beachhead was four hexes deep but only 25 hexes wide, falling short by 3 hexes. This was an absolutely a great scenario. I don't usually play scenarios this big, but this one was surly worth it. I give this see saw battle a 5 all the way.
