A quick and small scenario. The US lands two MAR south of the village and one MAR and the HMG north of the village. Early fire from the Japanese SER is ineffective.

The southern MAR platoons trade fire with two SER platoons while the northern Marine force closes on the village. Defensive fire from the village is ineffective. The MAR and HMG close on the village. The MAR and HMG begin point blank fire on the SER platoons in the village and obtain 1X results on them forcing the remaining steps to evacuate the village as they become demporalized. The reamining SER platoon close on the village as the southern MAR platoons circle to the west to close the village also.

The firepower from the Marines soon demoralizes the remaining SER platoons. The Japanese retreat their SER platoons into the jungle to regroup. The Marines occupy the village and the adjacent hexes awaiting the Japanese counter attack.

At this point, the Japanese do not have enough firepower to take the village until the Navy reinforcements arrive, so the Japanese wait for their arrival. Turns pass and the reinforcements do not arrive. As the end nears, the Japanese begin to close on the village for a last effort to eliminate a MAR step, but time runs out with the US in control of the village and no lost steps. US victory.
