Overview:

By late December it was obvious to MacArthur that the time had come for the retreat to Bataan. For the Philippine Army’s 71st and 91st Divisions, assigned to hold the Baliuag-Plaridel-Calumpit area, the order to withdraw came not a moment too soon. The 91st withdrew during the morning of the 31st. By 1330, the 71st had hastily withdrawn out of Baliuag just as General Sonoda’s 7th Tank Regiment was moving at full speed down Highway 5 towards the town. Sonoda’s tanks and advanced infantry took up positions around Baliuag to allow the remainder of the force’s infantry to catch up and to prepare for an assault on Plaridel and Calumpit. Fearing the green 51st Infantry Regiment would not be able to stand up to the Japanese attack, Brigadier-General Jones sent two tank platoons, supported by a self-propelled artillery battery, to intercept Sonoda’s tanks.

2020-05-02(D) Ulric Schwela vs Stefano Cuccurullo Japanese winJapanese set up as a hedgehog in the village, American went all in and vehicles started popping all over. Japanese reinforcements arrived early, and even with lower CVP target it remained unreachable as losses went 1:1 all the way due to poor Ami dice. Japanese infantry got to join in once the American armour was weakened. Brutal, all out annihilation with furious tank driving back and forth. Proper metal melee (25 tanks on board!) in light PTO, a good way to exercise tank tactics.
2014-12-03(A) Stanley Neo vs John K Japanese win
2007-12-18(A) Bill Brodie vs Murray McCloskey American winGood fun, unusual all armour contest
2003-11-01(A) Vic Lauterbach vs Probably JM In progressFrom ASLAP notes - Fun armored fight but tough for the outnumbered US tankers to win. Japanese reinforcements entered early and the M3s were smoking the Japanese tanks, 7 kills for 1 loss until the Type 97s got hot and knocked out two M3s to get within the 25 point CVP margin.
1996-09-10(D) Rich Weiley vs Peter Raftos Japanese win
