Overview:

In mid-March, after a brief pause for rest and refit, the Japanese renewed their offensive. To the east of Xuzhou, the relatively well-equipped Chinese 31st Infantry Division retreated to positions in and around the ancient town of Tai'erzhuang. The town, with its bridges over the unfordable Grand Canal, stood in the path of the Japanese column which was to outflank Xuzhou. At dawn on the 24th, the crack 10th Infantry Division attacked. The heaviest blow fell upon the Chinese right flank, where Japanese armor and infantry broke through the north gate in the town's wall and drove towards one of the vital bridges over the canal.

2023-11-19(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFettD Japanese winAfter 4 Japanese turns, the game was decided. The Chinese lost almost every CC they found themselves engaged in, broke their ART piece on its first shot, and, despite getting lucky with multiple KIAs on the best Japanese Leaders. The Japanese OBA got 1 shot off and then drew double Reds. Not quite sure how I would balance the scenario, but it definitely favors the Japanese.
2023-10-26(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne DuvalD Japanese winI felt the Chinese had too much to defend against and ended up too thinly spread out. Not enough FP to blunt the Japanese spearhead .... Chinese command completely demoralized by Turn 4.
2023-10-26(A) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin DuvalD Japanese win
2022-08-07(A) Shane Pask vs Japanese winEven with the increased VC for the Japs, I think this is still weighted in their favour. The Japanese are not even required to reach the bridge for Victory. Lots of 3s rolled which helped to keep the Jap sniper active. Chinese almost annihilated by turn 8 and conceded. 28 VP not including bridge which was bound to fall.
2016-07-24(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. Japanese win
