Overview:

After Lt. Col. Goettge's small reconnaissance patrol was wiped out near Matanikau on August 12, General Vandefrift ordered a strike against the Japanese concentration in the area. Given the overriding need to protect Henderson Field, it was a week before the Marines felt they could spare three companies of the 5th Marines for Vandergrift's clearing operation.
Attacker: American (USMC) (B Company, 1st Battalion and L Company, 3rd Battalion, , 5th Marine Regiment)
Defender: Japanese (Matanikau Outpost and Garrison)

2024-09-20(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Japanese win3 hrsFun scenario. Japanese got a lot of 3's with low factor shots and pinned and/or broke the Marines. Japanese got the win in a bloody confrontation.

2024-01-24(A) Jack Wilson vs Eric Zagdan American (USMC) winSecond time with this one. With so little real estate to work with, the Japanese defender cannot avoid getting into multiple CCs where the stronger Marine units usually have a slight advantage. Once again, I benefitted from my low DRs augmented by my opponent's high DRs. I believe the Japanese can win this one- but not quite sure how.
2023-09-08(A) Jack Wilson vs D. American (USMC) winFun scenario using a historic map. My Marines got the better of several CC and squeaked out a CVP win.
