Overview:

On the fourth day of fighting at Nhpum Ga, elements of the Japanese 114th and 55th Regiments were able to completely surround the 2nd Battalion of Merrill's Marauders. The Japanese established a block on the trail just north of Nhpum Ga, severing contact between the 2nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion at Hsamshingyang. The morning patrol leaving Hsamshingying detected signs of enemy activity along the trail, and encountered a strong Japanese trail block about 400 yards from the 2nd Battalion's perimeter. With mortar support from Nhpum Ga, the patrol attacked the block but finally had to withdraw. Colonel McGee decided to make another attempt to break the block and carefully thinned out his perimeter to form a strike force and attacked again. . . . .One of the scenarios that makes the Nhpum Ga series so great. US forces must attack Japanese troops and clear a track, while also ensuring that the Japanese do not infiltrate into the US set up area.
Attacker: American (2nd Battalion, 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional) "Merrill's Marauders")

2023-09-04(D) Lawrence Spangler vs Diane SpanglerA American winCome down to turn five with an American win. My sniper got her 9-2 leader on turn one. She almost lost her personal morale check but soldered on for the victory. In fact, my sniper also got the 8-1 leader also.
2022-10-22(D) Rich Weiley vs Neil MacPherson Japanese win
2021-08-24(D) Simon Staniforth vs American winIJA worn down by superior Marauder firepower. The US 9-2 went heroic and the same stack created a Hero. -3 on some subsequent shooting the Japanese lost the 9-1 and 2.5 squads all KIA in one fire phase and after that likely only one winner. Managed to hold out with the HMG until the penultimate turn he got some ROF but not enough and was finally overwhelmed in CC
2006-01-01(D) Bill Brodie vs Steven Linton Japanese windidnt record date of game
2003-12-15(A) Vic Lauterbach vs Probably JM Japanese winFrom ASLAP notes - very close, two striped Japanese MMC held out in the VC area.
