My battle for Agingan Point was most likely bloodier then the historical one, maybe not for the Japanese, as they were almost wiped out historically but my Marine casualties were higher than I thought, not too bad but bad enough. The Japanese kept pushing towards the beaches supported by some large on board guns as well as off board artillery but to thin the herd the Americans fire naval Gun including a Battleship, once hitting with a 70 dose on a roll of 2, which reduce a stack of Japanese pretty well. The US air-support helped suppress some of the bigger on map Japanese naval guns.

At one point I ran out of demoralized markers and had to borrow them from another game. On an interesting note the Japanese 120/10 gun took out a step of LVT (A)-4’s before it was taken out in a later turn. When the American Sherman tank reinforcements arrive, I really needed them to help push some Japanese units back into the jungle. This battle was much tougher than it looks on paper but the Americans won with sure fire-power but it was a close contest and a few dice rolls this way or that way and who knows?
