Played in 3 hours against Brett, this is a fun scenario which I believe slightly favours the Japanese player. As the Marine I set up in dug out along the edge of the Jungle, hoping that firepower alone would halt any Jap advance. Brett bravely advanced into a hail of fire losing two steps immediately, however by the end of GT2 he was in a position to launch two large assaults. This was were the higher morale for the fanatical Japanese really helped as they managed to shrug off the first fire and were hitting the US with 18 & 24 assault shots. Eventually the US line buckled, this in turn let the Japanese units get to the rear of the US line and onto the VC Hex radius which meant that although I had gotten my six step losses I would be forced to try and clear the three Jap units in my rear. By then Brett had also achieved his VC, and was in the happy position for the last few turns knowing he could not lose. The US counterattack failed miserably and in the end Brett and his Japanese ran out comfortable winners. This was the first time I had used hidden units and disorientation rules but that does not excuse this loss. My set up was poor, with all my units in the front line there was no reserve to deal with the Japanese break through. The Japanese morale of 9 is the key though meaning they can shrug off most M/M1 results and giving them a bonus in assault. However dropping their morale to 8 would swing the game too far the US's way. Still an interesting little scenario indeed.
