Overview:

Colonel Edson had set up the 1st Paramarine Battalion on the east side of Lunga Ridge while he deployed his 1st Raider Battalion to the west. On the night of 12 September, leading elements of Major General Kiyotaki Kawaguchi's 35th Infantry Brigade attacked the Raiders, overrunning a platoon, forcing C Company back to the ridge, and bending the Raiders' front line from its east-west alignment to a north-south one. The next morning, two companies of Raiders were ordered to retake the lost positions in a daylight attack.

2020-08-15(D) Eric Topp vs Mark Dennehy Japanese winUS were making good progress and passing all MC. The Japanese counterattacked on turn 4 and recaptured the M7 VC hex. On turn 5, the US had to succeed in 4 out of 4 CC to win. It was a tough ask and the Japanese were deadly - Ambushing and eliminating almost every Marine unit.
2020-05-21(A) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck Japanese winWorked my way and had the chance of winning all victory locations and even had troops on adjacent hexes but as usual, one has to know the rules and be perceptive as well as having luck with dice. I made the mistake of forgetting that the last victory hexes were light jungle and could take one more squad each in that final close combat and then both CC rolls were nines so, despite ambush I couldn´t kill off the japanese soldiers and defeat was a fact.
2020-05-21(D) Matias Dahlbäck vs Vilis Pavulans Japanese win
2020-04-28(A) Kevin Sanders vs Rob Brown Japanese winResolved on the last roll for the win or loss. USMC needed a 9 or less on CC/HTH roll was 12...arg. Many many other "interesting" results on both side. Very good Japanese fading defense. Well played.
2020-03-15(A) M T vs American (USMC) winThis time I managed to overcome the Japanese in CC with careful use of my Raiders and leaders. Winning still took some planning, for the USMC is on the clock in this one. Good scenario.
