Overview:
As part of the invasion to capture the southern Marianas Islands, the 2nd Marine Division landed on the southwest coast of Saipan on 15 June. Lt. Gen. Yoshitsugu Saito chose not to expose the bulk of his troops to an American shoreline bombardment, but instead deployed the 43rd Infantry Division and 9th Tank Regiment inland where they could counterattack the Marine beachhead as it formed. The Marines landed under fire but quickly pushed off the beach. Saito took advantage of the relatively level and open terrain to launch a combined-arms attack, headed by Colonel Takashi Goto's 9th Tank Regiment, to smash the Marine position before the Americans could bring their forces to bear against him.Attacker: Japanese (136th Infantry Regiment, 43rd Infantry Company and 4th Company, 9th Tank Regiment)
Defender: American (USMC) (Companies, A & G, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division w/Company Reserve)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-09-18 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Slava Zipunov | Japanese win (VASL Log) | Japanese were tired down quite a bit during the initial maneuver phase of the battle: 8 of 12 squad became HS or striped to the Turn 3. On the Turn 3 Japanese shouted Banzai and assaulted isolated Marine strongpoint with 9-2 leader. After causing some casualties, Marine stack broke during the FPF, so Japanese were able to consolidate some ground in the victory area. Marine reinforcement had to assault solid positions, so they withdrawn to fight another day. |
| 2022-03-12 | (D) Pascal Boileau | vs | Simon Goudissard | American (USMC) win | A very nice scenario. The Japanese were unstoppable and placed in position to win at the end of turn 4. The American reinforcements were welcome and allowed a furious counter-attack that reverse the issue of the game in the end. |
| 2022-01-27 | (D) Alberto Pomar | vs | César Moreno | Japanese win | |
| 2021-10-30 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Fedor Melnikov | Japanese win | |
| 2020-12-14 | (D) Eric Topp | vs | Jim Bert | American (USMC) win | I set up my Marines well back from the starting line. In previous games, I have found that Marines on the hill can be eliminated for failure to rout by the Japanese tanks. The Japanese tanks moved up, being careful not to get within the dangerous 4 hex range of the BAZ. The Japanese MTR fired Smoke providing cover for the Japanese infantry crossing open ground. The Marines weren't getting much ROF from their MMG and the Japanese were mostly passing their MC. By the end of Japanese turn 6, both tanks were inside the "perimeter" along with five squads, a HS and crew. Then came the US counterattack. Jim was careful to reduce the risk of losing his valuable tanks from the BAZ by keeping them in Motion. Despite this, a Critical Hit knocked one out anyway. The other US fire attacks were mostly ineffective so it all came down to the final CC. Despite a Japanese Ambush, the US prevailed and wiped out enough Japanese infantry units to win. |
