This is a fun little scenario. I setup the Americans blocking the road leading south, as why hide them in the mountains, as neither side would win without eliminating enemy steps, plus they get to start dug-in. The Japanese lead the attack with their armor and my first mistake here was outdistancing my Infantry. The Japanese armor pulls up the Type 97’s and Shinhoto’s adjacent to a stack of dug-in American Infantry thinking they would be immune to anything but the Americans risked it all and left their dugout to assault the Japanese armor and as it in the luck of PG dice rolls, they rolled two AT 6’s and took out two steps of Japanese armor with bazooka rounds. I should have reset the game right there and played again but I didn’t and the Japanese fought back for a while but fought an uphill battle and lost 8 steps to 3 steps. The Americans won a minor victory. In the beginning I thought the Japanese could just pull up alongside and eliminate Americans steps but I took the chance and left the safety of the dug-outs as the Americans. Next time I will wait for the Infantry to back me up. It will be really fun to play this one again to see what happens but for now, I’ll put it on the back burner!
