This is a quick play scenario, and is interesting. I would have given it a 4 except I think it is too tough on the US. They have to close with higher morale Japanese units and clear them from the Jungle. Their hope is in their great amount of artillery. The problem is, it is all fired danger close and thus friendly fire comes into play. The attack is straight forward up the trail, then contact. The US got hammered by Japanese fire and their own artillery. By Turn 4 they were playing for a draw and by the latter turns of the game the Japanese were pushing the US back. |
