The US has to take a stretch of road from north to south on the map. The Japanese are dug in and have heavy guns with infantry support. The US tried to mass in the north and turn the Japanese flank, which they did. The northern half of the map was taken fairly easily, but the Japanese guns were causing heavy losses, especially among the amtracs, which were very helpful in boosting the Marines assault FP. Even with air support though, the US could not clear the road or take a second entrenchment. The Japanese threw suicidal counterattacks (that worked), and hel the second entrenchment and the southern end of the US objective. The Japanese suffered very heavy losses and the US 11 steps. Japanese win.
