2023-03-09	(D) Richard Jenulis	vs	Greg Rodgers		Japanese win	The Americans wiped out every know unHIP Japanese unit, but failed to garrison one of the victory buildings that were retaken by HIP units on the last Japanese movement phase.
2022-09-11	(D) Jeff B	vs	Steve Etzelmueller		Japanese win	I tried to make it a bit hard for the Americans to enter unchallenged, and eliminated a HS with a good shot from a HIP unit. They almost exclusively poured on in the east, with even a couple units running outside the gates, with only a single unit entering via the Manila Cathedral. This unit turned out to carry the .50, and was broken and sent running back to church when another HIP unit blasted him. I also got lucky with a KIA on the FT-toting HS, destroying their FT in the process. I began my quest to capture the .50, which would end up having possible game-saving consequences. Turn 3 saw the first Japanese unit eliminated, as a trapped full squad with a DC was KIA, but the Americans continued to bleed bodies, with a total of three squads lost so far (including the full squad I had trapped in the cathedral, stealing their .50 in the process). Turn 4 was uneventful, as I abandoned Lourdes Church and repositioned across the street. Turn 5 saw the first of my very successful minefields pop into action, as I rebuffed the first wave of assault vs. Recoletos Church. The rest of the game saw fierce fighting over the remaining two churches, with my defense seeing extreme assistance from the very-different cellar rules presented in SF. The Americans saw three heroes generated, only to have them all fall before the end of the game. The Americans didn't lose any tanks, but in the end their 6ML infantry just couldn't get the job done, with St. Augustine Church proving the most resolute defensive position. Despite a few rather poorly defined rules hiccups, this was mostly a rather enjoyable scenario.
