Overview:

On 17 May, Merrill's Marauders, weary and sick from a 65 mile trek, attacked Myitkyina airfield along with elements of two Chinese infantry regiments. They quickly overran the airfield and the western sections of the town. Subsequent attacks, however, failed to clear the rest of the town, which was garrisoned by significant numbers of well-supplied Japanese troops under General Mizukami, who was steadily receiving reinforcements. In a final attempt to close the ring on Myitkyina, the remnants of Merrill's 3rd Battalion were launched against the village of Charpate to the north of town.
Attacker: American (3rd Battalion, 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional) "Merrill's Marauders")
Defender: Japanese (1st Battalion, 148th Infantry Regiment)

2020-09-20(A) Eric Topp vs Mark Dennehy American winAmerican balance was in play as this scenario is *very* pro-Japanese. Japanese had poor dice (two MC boxcars) early on. With only one Japanese leader left on turn 6, they could only launch one Banzai to retake the VC buildings. They came very close to winning with the CX penalty hurting the US CC rolls.
2020-07-16(A) M T vs N.N. American winCareful play brought victory for my Americans this time. My opponent did have poor rolls in some early CCs, which helped things along. We found the scenario atmospheric and also interesting gameplay-wise.
2020-06-27(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck Japanese winDice favoured the americans and the game from the yanks was good as well, at least as we both understand it. Even though, the japs managed to yank the victory out from the american hands in the last movement by double timing a half squad, cruising around residual fire to get that last building. Considering the dice and american game the victory should have been american we think and the scenario is probably a bit weighed to the IJA sida.
2020-06-27(A) Matias Dahlbäck vs Vilis Pavulans Japanese winOh American victory was snatched from my very normal sized hands! Sad!

The last player turn had Vilis as the Japanese considering surrender, and I was mentally trying to make him go that way, but he found a path to victory. It was a puzzle, but he did it. Damnation. Well played.
2020-05-25(D) Kevin Sanders vs Rob Brown Japanese winHard for the CX/rain no smoke US to get the VP hexes they need. Got lucky with early elim of the US 10-2 and his squads (walked into a Concealed squad - HtH mutual kill). Americans pressed and had all the VPs they needed, Japanese reinforcements showed up and the fight was on. A few more nasty melee wins for Japanese and it was over...
