Overview:

Many of the Japanese troops defending Clark Field were less than front-line quality. Lieutenant Colonel Seikuke Eguchi, however, scrounged for them every available machine gun from the destroyed aircraft littering the runways. As the remains of Kembu Group were being pushed into the foothills of the Zambales Mountains, Eguchi decided to counterattack. After clearing Clark Field, the “Battling Buckeyes” of the 37th pushed into the ruins of Fort Scotsenberg. On the morning of the 29th, Eguchi’s infantry hit the American defenses, and were repulsed. Another counterattack led by six tanks of the Yanagimoto Detachment struck the right flank at Barrio Tacondo.

2020-09-21(D) Martí Cabré vs Eoin Corrigan American winThe Japanese had bad luck with the AFV, recalling some of them, while the rest fell to the American tank destroyers. The Japanese infantry took the village center and assaulted the American positions using DC to good effect, but the flanks were held by the American units, that menaced to envelope the Japanese force (which had lost a lot of units) and retake the lost buildings, so the Japanese conceded on Turn 4.
2019-01-12(D) Scott Sherer vs John Farrell American winCombination of smoking hot dice on my part and ice cold dice on my opponent's part led to an early concession and American victory. Looked like an interesting scenario and relatively straightforward entry into PTO and the Japanese, with fair amount of armor on both sides.
2017-03-16(D) Michael Rodgers vs Joe Moro American win
2017-01-01(A) jon smith vs usa Japanese winjap win by turn 4... yanks just couldn't stop the infantry waves which rolled in.. took the hits.. then broke the americans wherever they met them.
