Overview:

Many of the American troops defending Clark Field were less than front-line quality. Lieutenant Colonel Seikuke Eguchi, however, scrounged for them every available machine gun from the destroyed aircraft littering the runways. As the remains of Kembu Group were being pushed into the foothills of the Zambales Mountains, Eguchi decided to counterattack. After clearing Clark Field, the “Battling Buckeyes” of the 37th pushed into the ruins of Fort Scotsenberg. On the morning of the 29th, Eguchi’s infantry hit the American defenses, and were repulsed. Another counterattack led by six tanks of the Yanagimoto Detachment struck the right flank at Barrio Tacondo.

2024-03-27(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. Japanese winMy friend set up really aggressively with a strong forward defense. Instead of running into concealments during my turn 1 Banzai as I expected, I ran into mostly HS and even one full squad. Luck was with me, and most of Americans died outright or mutually died with my lesser quality troops (2nd line HS and full squads). Having swamped his forward defenses and flanking and freezing a bunch of them in the forward section of the village with the generous supply of six tanks, my forces made short work of the Americans. I think a less aggressive American set-up that allows for them to adjust to the main Japanese thrust might serve the US better.

On a side note, the US M7 was well positioned in V5 with walls giving it hull down from several angles. My friend tried for HEAT, but found none. He tried HE, but had no effect with the To Kill roll. During the top of his PFPh, he rolled a 12. I lucked out and took it out during my PFPh (hull down turned sure hits into misses during the preceding DFPh). Anyway, when his reinforcements rolled in, he moved the new M7 into the exact same spot - and promptly rolled another 12 on the To Hit roll! Gotta love ASL!
