Marines kicking butt again in this night engagement as the last remnants of organized resistance on Tinian attacks unexpectedly from the beach towards the Marines hunkered down along the edge of heavy jungle. The full moon kept the Japanese from being able to run right up and wait to assault with impunity, not to mention that the Marines set up right on the edge of the jungle so that the Japanese had to stop in the open or light jungle for a turn and get shot at. Abysmal die rolls for the Marines was the saving grace of the Japanese as shot after shot missed in the surprise of having this banzai charge out of the blue after the island had been declared cleared of the enemy. The thing that made a big difference for the Marines was the high morale officers and men compared to a very poor pick of Japanese, with only one Japanese leader having any effect on morale, and most having little better morale than the troops they lead. After the Marine reinforcements came in, the game was pretty much over in two more turns, very effective mopping up action indeed. The death toll at the end: Japanese lost 14 steps (all of the troops) and 3 leaders (leaving only the Major commanding and his Captain adjutant, probably heading off after the action to commit seppuku. Big win for the Marines, and the one or two units that became disrupted were back to normal even before the last shots were being fired.
