Late on the night of May 16, 1943, American 7th Infantry Division advanced toward a Japanese airfield site on the island of Attu. The Northern Force followed a rolling barrage east toward the airfield through the cold and darkness with some disruption due to the muskeg crossing. After they had reached the summit of the ridge at midnight, they encountered fire from a picket of the Japanese 303rd Independent Infantry Battalion. OBA was called in and softened up the Japanese infantry platoons, which were eliminated by 0115 hours. Another US task group had already cleared the ridge and arrived at the outskirts of the unimproved airfield. The US units began to take fire from the hill east of the airfield at 0200 and were assaulting the Japanese front-line infantry there by 0245 hours. The front wall was cleared by 0400 with the Japanese survivors having moved to the hilltop. Both sides spent the next hour reforming their units and exchanging small arms fire, along with American bombardment of the Japanese troops that proved relatively ineffective. As the horizon lightened, the Americans began to move up the hill, and the Japanese responded by splitting their remaining forces, leaving a small rearguard on the hilltop while the others headed east into the muskeg. By 0545, the US had dispatched the Japanese troops from the hilltop and began pursuit of the others in the east muskeg. The final Japanese surviving platoon, a service unit, was eliminated at 0700 hours resulting in an American victory.

The primary objective of this scenario is for the Americans to establish a five-hex wide secure corridor that includes the airfield hexes and runs from the western edge of the map to the eastern edge. This forces the US to leave a rather spread-out perimeter force since the Japanese can set up hidden anywhere on the long western north-south ridge and wait until late in the game to move in and compromise the corridor. In this playthrough, the Japanese set up a single picket on the west ridge and chose to consolidate their forces on the hill east of the airfield since it would take the many turns for US to get there across the muskeg, while also needing to leave some rearguard in case of hidden Japanese units in the west. In this playthrough, the US brought two groups in from the far southwest corner along the arctic hill to spot any Japanese units there; since the Japanese must set up on hills, that only left the northern perimeter with a need for patrol. With the limited 2-hex spotting range, it takes a while for the US to be able to use its OBA, so much of the opening involves slogging across the muskeg until the clear terrain of the airfield is reached. Once the US was there in strength, it became very difficult for the Japanese to hold off the sheer numbers of US units moving in to assault. The end result in step losses was 21 for the Japanese (the entire force was eliminated) versus only 4 for the US. While this scenario has some similarity to the previous one (AKWar06), it is an improvement since then of the airfield and gives the Japanese player the actual direction that the US must take for victory.
