Overview:

In the first major city fighting for the U.S. Marines in the Pacific War, the city of Garapan was the target. On June 24, two battalions from the 2nd Regiment got the job, and were the first to catch opposition from a suicidal Japanese rear guard. As they entered the first rows of ramshackle houses along dirt roads above the leveled water front area, the Japanese opened up with machine-gun, rifle and mortar fire. The Marines of the 3rd Battalion charged forward -- overrunning the defenders and reaching a major street on the 05 line, commonly known as "Radio Road". The Japanese were not ready to write off Garapan. A Japanese marine battle group, supported by seven tanks counterattacked in the late afternoon.
Attacker: Japanese (Elements 246th Infantry Regt.; 9th Tank Regt.; 55th Naval Guard Force)
Defender: American (USMC) (Elements 1st & 3rd Battalions, 2nd Marine Regt.)

2017-08-27(A) Richard Carter vs Dave Clemons American (USMC) winGreat scenario with plenty of tactical puzzles. Japanese have to use their full arsenal of tricks and strategies to win this one, but it can be done. Outcome was unknown til the end. Loved this one.
