Overview:
The Japanese had landed at Lingayen Bay with 43,000 troops composed mostly of the 48th Division which had been activated in 1940 on the island of Formosa and which had not yet seen battle. Using landing craft and powered sampans, the Japanese landed in several waves and on 22 December advanced in tank-infantry columns. The American-Filipino force reacted quickly but was soon forced to retreat whereupon they established a series of defensive lines further south to withdraw in order. The forces under General Wainwright, commander of the North Luzon Force, ahd been badly disorganized over the previous days' fighting at the landing sites, and the first defensive line ("D-1") was simply a line on the map where he could reform his troops. While most of the line did reorganize and withdrew to "D-2" under the safety of screening forces by 25 December, the 11th Division had a less peaceful Christmas Day. The 11th dug in around the small village of Urdaneta where they met the 1st Formosan Regiment.Attacker: Japanese (1st Formosan Infantry Regiment)
Defender: Filipino (13th Regiment, 11th Division)

| 2023-02-08 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | Pascal Boileau | Japanese win | The Japanese launched several Banzai charges with huge success and few losses. Filipinos fire was poor and they were chased out of the buildings by turn 4. A few units escaped but not enough to avoid a major Japanese victory. Still a difficult scenario for the Filipinos. | ||
| 2023-02-08 | (D) Pascal Boileau | vs | O Ramaille | Japanese win | As depicted by O. Ramaille, huge success and few losses for the Japanese and the reverse was true for the Filipinos... I conceded the game at the beginning of turn 5, nothing can be done to worry the Japanese on their way to victory. Thanks to Olivier ! | ||
| 2022-02-23 | (A) Mark Thompson | vs | Filipinos (NotSure) | Japanese win (VASL Log) | The Japanese emerged unscathed from the jungle and kunai along the East edge of the Board but down 24 building control VPs. To make up this deficit quickly and cut off the Filipino exit before taking control of the buildings, two 3 squad stacks, one with the 9-1 and the other with the 8-0 leader, made a risky Banzai charge to the South edge. These units spanned the palm grove intact, and several CCs and Melees ensued with the Japanese edging out the Filipinos due to their HH advantage. The Filipinos made a valiant stand, but were unable to exit or prevent loss of the buildings, which gave the Japanese the VP margin needed to win the game. | ||
| 2022-02-22 | (A) Igor Luckyanov | vs | Alexey Kolleganov | Japanese win (VASL Log) | Smoke placed by Japanese mortars has neutralized the Americans in the stone building. The final score is 43 :35. | ||
| 2022-02-22 | (D) Alexey Kolleganov | vs | Igor Luckyanov | Japanese win | Interesting scenario. The smoke was a surprise for the guys who sat in the town hall. |
