(VASL Log)
Illuminating Rounds Deluxe Tournament round 2.

I went for the Exit VP, and despite a number of casualties managed a fairly comfortable win. Tough one for the Japanese I feel. They need some luck, but the USMC firepower is a thing to behold and is their strength. USMC should be wary of close combats. Japanese should be wary of USMC firepower, and look to limit the USMC ability to exit the playing area (IMO).

Great to play Dave ... he is the same over the (virtual) table as he is on screen (a gentleman).
2023-05-19(D) David Ramsey vs Tim Reade American (USMC) winThe Americans really have the tools to get the job done and in many ways have the simpler task. March forward, take trenches and pillboxes if you can, but get off the map. The Japanese with the smaller force need to hold fire, inflict casualties, defend their setup area and somehow fall back to stop the american horde.

My setup wasn't great, and Tim's a great player, so despite 20+cvp for the Japanese it was a decisive US victory. Well played Tim - good luck in the semis!
