Overview:

The Americans successfully deceived the Japanese into believing the main landing at Tinian Island would be off Tinian Town. While the Japanese attention was focused there, the actual landing took place on a small beach two miles from the northern tip of the island. Company E, riding in LVTs from Company D, 2nd Armored Amphibious Battalion and reinforced with an assault gun platoon, approached the beach under the cover of a smoke barrage fired from Saipan.

2024-06-10(A) walter mcwilliams vs Tom Kearny American (USMC) winA great learning scenario for Amphibious assaults and cave rules. NOBA was on point, drove through the beach hazards without incident and swarmed the defenders. A lot of fun.

2021-04-17(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Japanese winI took the Americans against Dan who is an expert at defending Caves with the Japanese. Dan held his fire until my boys were on the beach. I used the NOBA to place White Phosphorous around the map. Dan would wipe out an LVT with my flamethrower. So I lost my most important cave clearing asset. I successfully cleared both flanks and exited my two squads. But I couldn't take a single cave and gave my concession after a failed effort on Turn 8. Good defensive job by Dan.
