Overview:

As part of a larger offensive designed to drive Japanese forces away from the Matanikau valley, two battalions from the 5th Marines and elements of the 1st Raider Battalion attacked west from the Lunga perimeter on October 7, forcing an infantry company from the Japanese 2nd Division into a pocket on the east side of the Matanikau, where it formed a strongpoint. Rainy conditions on October 8 slowed the pace of the Marines operation, and that evening, as night began to fall, the remaining Japanese trapped on the east side of the Matanikau made one final push to get across the river and break out to the west.
Attacker: Japanese (3rd Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment)

2024-02-26(A) Eric Topp vs Peter Dunn American (USMC) winI conceded on turn 4. Unless the US player fails all their Starshell attempts, the Japanese don't have a hope of winning this one
2023-09-04(A) Richard Jenulis vs Tony D'AndreaA American (USMC) winBeautiful map. The Japanese had the balance and were actually able to exit some units off the board. But this is all but impossible to win as the Japanese. The Japanese need to funnel through the Sand Split. The wire and American fire power are devastating. The end game score was Japanese 18, US 18. Perhaps if the CVP did not count against the Japanese, or if units exited were worth double VP, it may be more of a game. As it is, I am hard pressed to see how the Japanese win this scenario.
