Overview:

In the predawn hours of December 10, flares were observed in the skies north of Agana over Dungcas Beach, heralding the arrival of 400 sailors from the Japanese navy's 5th Defense Force to Guam. Knowing the Marine Barracks was several miles south of Agana, and not expecting much in the way of resistance, the Japanese sent an advance party to occupy Agana. During their approach, the Japanese party found and destroyed one machine-gun post before Agana. Here, to their surprise, the Guamanian Insular Guard, equipped with old M1903 rifles and another .30 caliber machine-gun had set up their defense.

2022-11-04(A) Will Willow vs Rich Jenulis Guamanian winWCR 2022 Went seven turns. I should have banzai'd.
2022-11-04(D) Richard Jenulis vs Will Willow Guamanian winWest Coast Rumble 2022.
2022-06-26(D) David Ramsey vs Gerard Burton Japanese winThe fully hip defence is a bit fiddly for FtF games but it's an interesting enough scenario. Although the tension is there for the Japanese player, it feels like an unstoppable push to victory for an aggressive player. In our game it came down to the last CC but in truth it was unlikely that the Guamanian's would hold off the Japanese.
2022-06-26(A) Simon Staniforth vs Ian Morris Japanese winMy second playing in a month this time at the Double One tourney, although with the same sides and against the same opponent! We both adjusted our game and I felt the IJA were behind the pace so T5 conducted a Banzai with pretty much every surviving Unit into the victory building. I was fortunate to get Smoke (a WP CH no less) to cover the Banzai and casualties were minimal on the approach. We traded squads in the ensuing CC but I could afford it more with my superior numbers. In the next Guamanian turn all his remaining Units were broken as they tried to hold on to or reinforce the victory building leaving my opponent no option but to concede. I led with plenty of HS until it was clear where the majority of his forces were positioned subsequently transferring the mortars to them or recombining to have more punch in FP / CC
2022-06-26(D) Ian Morris vs Simon Staniforth Japanese winAnother close game of this fine scenario, it seemed to be going well for me until Simon unleashed a well-executed Banzai which overwhelmed my defence for a deserved victory.
