| Introduction |

|
Having given some, but not much ground on the 26th, the Yano Battalion stood ready on the 27th to fight again before pulling back. The coastal plain had again narrowed enough that only a single regiment at a time could be deployed in action in some areas. The 6th Marines were to advance on the right along the coast. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
The Yano Battalion proved unable to halt the American advance. The Marines managed to advance 2,000 yards. The Japanese, usually aggressive, withdrew rather than stand and be destroyed. |

Another largely indistinguishable push west scenario, this time on a narrower front as per the real life terrain. Americans have roughly twice the turns as in the previous few to grind out the Japanese strongpoints this time around, but a tighter turn limit. Japanese do what they usually do, even without morale 9. Counterattack stacks with all their good leaders, with op fire stacks to support with the various other doodads they have lying around, hoping to roll a 2. Assaults do good enough for a draw, causing 4 steps over the course of the game, before the inevitable collapse happens under the generous turn count. One shy of a win (via Americans losing). Probably one of the more balanced push west scenarios, but still tougher on the Americans. There is only so much to type about these scenarios though, same troops, same tactics, same terrain (even when counting as somewhere else) over and over. |
