Saipan, scenario #13: The Marines Try Aslito Airfield

Errata:

First let me state; the scenario should be 20 turns long not 10 as when I designed it, it was a length wise scenario a far as the map setup but after development the map was re-configures the other direction not giving the Americans a chance to win. Even with the development, I should have had more turns, for this my apologies!

I setup the Japanese with one 75/88 gun, one SER unit and one leader forward to slow the Marines down and the rest of the Japanese scattered way back in the jungle and hills. The American wasted a lot of valuable time forward and when they hit the Japanese in the rear area the 10 turns had run out, so I extended the scenario to what it should be, 20 turns and as luck would have it, one of the reduced step SER units recovered from demoralized and I never assigned a unit to chase it down after it became demoralized, so even with a 20 turn scenario, the Americans still lost but a much closer contest!
