2023-06-10(A) Rob MacGinley vs Ian Willey American winA good warm up to the Manilla in Flames
Massive US Firepower versus IJA tricky in buildings
Eventually some sucessful rolls the IJA melted from sheer Firepower
2015-07-03(A) Andy Hershey vs Keith Spurlock American win[Imported from ROAR]

2015-05-07(D) Richard Carter vs David C. Japanese winMy set DC got his FT tank. My THH immobilized a sherman. My sniper got 2 of his OT's. etc. I had a lot of luck in keeping off his attack. It is fun and deceptively simple. In that it looks like a static defense but there was quite a lot to do for both attacker and defender.
2012-10-03(A) Michael Rodgers vs Hennie Van Der Salm Japanese winPacing of the attack is critical because the Japanese can fortify every ground location of the victory building which makes it tougher than usual to clear.
