Overview:

After the fall of Bataan, the Japanese turned the full weight of their artillery and air force onto the island fortress of Corregidor. For nearly a month, massive guns up to 14 inches in caliber salvoed back and forth across the North Channel of Manila Bay. Finally deciding that the defenses were soft enough for an amphibious landing, assault troops from the 4th Infantry Division secured a beachhead and pushed up the narrow “tail” of Corregidor. The 4/4th Marines – actually an ad hoc force of sailors, soldiers and marines -- armed with little more than small arms and grenades consolidated their positions and waited for the Japanese assault. . .

2020-03-01(A) Ulric Schwela vs Luca Martini American (USMC) winA series of see-saw battles, every hill being contested separately. Both American and Japanese set up spread out, with me dedicating seven squads to hold back the American flank attack. MMG were useless, MTRs had a fair few SMOKE rounds and got a few CH, both OBA were awesome, with minimal trouble getting on target and managing a few devastating results, AFVs helped a little but were really there to score the EVP at the end, and when I got too aggressive with one and it died in CC, the points weren't there any more. Japanese needs to launch a mass of troops at the trench hill asap to prevent USMC retreat to fill the trenches, while holding back elsewhere as cautiously as possible.
