The Allies set up on beach hexes west of the coast road. The Axis set on the ridge except for the labor platoon which sets up in hex 1013. The U.S. advance with a force going to the left, one to the right and one down the center. This turned out to be the wrong approach. Neither was strong enough to assault a Axis ridge position.

With some difficulty the Allies were able to consolidate on their own left. They then assaulted the Japanese position on North edge of the ridge. During this maneuver the Allies lost two steps of LVT4s. But in return they were able to knock out the 37mm ATG battery and a whole platoon of Axis infantry. The Allied assault was preceded by a very accurate blast of direct fire which softened the Axis position considerably.

Once the ridge line had been breached the Allies just rolled up the Axis line wiping out the entire Axis force. The Japanese OBA played no roll in this scenario. It had been lost to a special event on turn two.

I liked this scenario, despite the fact that it came out a bit unbalanced. I think if the Axis had had more luck with their Morale checks they could have made more of a game of it. They failed almost all of the M and M1 checks during the scenario. Loosing the OBA did not help either. They did inflict 3 step losses on the Allies reducing their initiative by one but it was just not enough.
