Overview:

An encircling force, the Chinese 114th Regiment with the 6th Field Artillery Battery, was sent circling south to cross the River Tanai at Kantau. The Chinese regiment collided with the Japanese in a series of sharp actions along two small creeks. The jungle made it difficult for the Chinese to organize and coordinate their attacks; the supporting 6th Battery could not even take part until fields of fire were cut. But as this arduous task was underway, infiltrating parties of the Japanese 55th Infantry Regiment surrounded the battery. The 3/114th, charged with supporting the guns, was split into four fragments, no two of them in contact. The Chinese gunners were forced to fight to save their guns, and themselves, alone.

2025-04-06(A) Jon Jaramillo vs Brett Snyder Japanese win5 hrsIn my second foray into PTO, we chose this classic. Brett's Americans were loaded for bear and my defenses quickly were eaten away by the American FP and leadership. I got somewhat lucky when I was able to kill a Stewart with a THH and then another one was lost to recall when he broke the MA. The turning point was the best Japanese leader getting a hold of the flamethrower and being in a trench adjacent to the main pillbox and another pillbox. Every American advance was met with a 24FP blast that completely broke up the American assault on the main location. The flamethrower finally ran out of fuel near the end of the game, but by that time both sides were down to just a handful of troops. The Americans couldn't muster quite enough offense and were probably just a turn behind. A very bloody battle that could have gone either way.
2025-01-26(A) Jon Jaramillo vs Brett Snyder Chinese win4 hrsMy first foray into PTO. I set up very heavy on the west edge and tried to bum rush the Chinese with limited success. I lost a lot of units early not completely understanding the terrains benefits or the strength of the Japanese. I started to make decent progress in the middle turns, executing a couple nice Banzai charges that let me get one gun captured and spiked and breaking the crew of the second gun, but in the end I just ran out of time and manpower and Brett pulled his last hip stack out concealed to protect the last gun. I never even made it into the hex with the last gun, the Chinese created a little roadblock of bodies in front of it and the game ended when I failed to get any results in my last AFPh. Good game, I definitely learned a lot for one scenario and Brett is excellent at the rules for PTO.

2023-02-09(D) g db vs Chinese win
2022-09-23(D) Mark Thompson vs Japanese (Spara) Japanese winThe Chinese had a decent set-up but made the critical error of taking Prep Fire across the first line in the first turn instead of falling back and maintaining concealment. The Chinese did manage to eliminate 2 of 3 Japanese leaders in an attempt to forestall Banzai charges, but DC Heroes abounded and remaining Japanese leader lead devastating Banzai charges to overwhelm the Chinese defenses and take all three guns.
