This little scenario requires a small recon patrol to enter and exit the board without loss. The Japanese have only a few units to cover the width of the board, but there is no requirement that any of them remain alive to win, only that they take a single step or more of the Marines. With 18 turns, there is a little time for the Marines to stop and take a shot here and there but little to get caught up in assaults. For 13 turns, the Marines managed to move around, back and forth to keep moving towards the south end of the board, until finally a Japanese force of an Inf, HMG and Cpt caught up to the stack of the US Cpt, single step of infantry and one of the LVT-A1s at the edge of the board. And right there, in the assault, the Japanese managed to take out a single step of the LVT unit while the Marine infantry and leader managed to get off the table. The second stack with the Sgt had started to go around the Japanese, but then it was too late. The single step had already been lost. A great scenario, a puzzle that will require lots of replay to find the best way, and one that is as challenging for the handful of Japanese troops as it is for the handful of Marines.
