2022-05-17(D) Jeff B vs Joe Arthur American winSSR2 is a severe handicap for the Japanese defense, limiting and wasting a lot of good potential traps. Being that the Japanese have very few antitank resources this could quite possibly be a game breaker, as the Japanese probably have to take out a minimum of two tanks to stand any chance whatsoever. My opponent's approach through the east was my least defended area, and he was mercilessly able to exploit it. The Japanese cannot adjust their defense too much until the American Turn 3 reinforcements enter either, so they are in a bit of a pickle. The only reason I didn't concede early was the fact my sniper took out both eastern American leaders, though it was obvious to me it was just a matter of time before American muscle overpowered me. The slow, methodical approach of the attackers dragged this painful process on until the middle of Turn 6, when I finally threw in the towel with the minimum two required buildings looking to be taken. Having played this once I could certainly improve upon my defense, but ultimately it will just come down to how many American tanks are eliminated, and is really just a crap shoot.
2021-12-11(D) Paul Works vs Randy Shurtz Japanese winRandy used some inspired AFV movement through jungle and bamboo (!) to get a tank on my flank, but it ended in a CC reaction Fire attack of "2" that burned his vehicle. Another of his tanks recalled due to a malf'd MA. I killed another Stuart with my AT Gun. Randy's Americans had a chance at the end, but I interdicted too many troops and the Japanese held on for the win.
