Overview:

On the night of September 12th, leading elements of Major General Kiyotaki Kawaguchi's 35th Infantry Brigade attacked the positions of the Raiders to the west of Lunga Ridge, overrunning C Company's positions. By the morning the Raiders were forced back to the extent that their lines west of the hill were running north-south instead of east-west. Two companies of the Raider battalion were ordered to re-take the lost positions in a daylight attack. A company of Para-Marines, untouched in the previous night's fighting, were ordered to assist the Raiders.
Attacker: American (USMC) (A & D Companies, 1st Raider Battalion and A Company, 1st Paramarine Battalion)
Defender: Japanese (III Battalion, 124th Infantry Regiment)

2020-04-17(D) JP Laurio vs Japanese win
2015-03-27(D) X von Marwitz vs Bill Brodie Japanese winDespite looking rather inconspicious and the balance leaning quite strongly towards the Japanese, it was fun to play for both sides. An AAR for this can be found on this site.
2015-03-27(A) Bill Brodie vs Von Marwitz Japanese winCopped a flogging in the first three turns, but turned it around and pushed hard. Just not enough to crack the Japanese fall back defense to caputer the last victory location.
2012-09-18(A) Christopher Dawson vs Japanese Japanese winAgree with what Jeff Coleman said. There just isn't enough time for the Marines to reach all the VC hexes. My Marines won three CCs and reached all but one VC hex. I was only two hexes away from the last with no Japanese in my way, but game ended.
