Overview:

On 29 February, the invasion of the Admiralty Islands-Operation BREWER-was initiated by the 1st Cavalry Division with the goal of establishing advance naval and air bases in the Bismarck Sea. A follow-up invasion of Manus was conducted by the 8th Cavalry Regiment on 15 March. 1st Squadron worked its way along the coast on the Number Three Road to attack Lorengau Airdrome, heavily defended by Japanese in bunkers. By 18 March the airdrome had been cleared, and the 8th Cavalry turned south along the Number Two Road to push through the jungle above the village. Here, two Japanese bunkers were perfectly sited to halt an advance. As soon as their presence was detected, Troop A was sent forward beyond the outpost line to eliminate them.

2023-11-18(A) Simon Staniforth vs Will Binns American winPlayed at Bounding Fire Blackpool. Once you’ve flushed out the HIP HS, it’s a case of using the American firepower to intimidate the Japanese and force them back. That’s something seen in many other scenarios but here the IJA has limited options given the small playing area and the need to be adjacent to the road in order to win. A missed potential Banzai in the final Japanese turn would have made things interesting but otherwise once the American forces were able to engage their full FP they quickly overcame the Japanese albeit the win was only in the final turn
2023-10-06(A) Camille Garek vs John GARLIC Japanese win
2023-07-28(D) Martí Cabré vs Josep Maria Cassani American winThe American attack is unstoppable, but their victory conditions require to clear the map so they laid down devastating firepower on each Japanese position. I tried to slowly retreat with the Japanese but the rolls weren't hot and many times I got pinned in bad position. Also the CC attacks all went for the Americans, as the 2nd line Japanese are not Stealthy and they lose a lot of special Japanese capabilities, for example the one of letting units enter a jungle hex without revealing. The pillboxes were no match for flanking American forces using CC and even the Japanese MMG broke down... not their day. The last Japanese units were cornered at the end of the map and killed during the last Japanese turn, saving the last American turn.
2023-03-08(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs American win
2023-01-17(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American winAmericans moved steadily forward and made good progress pushing the Japanese back. By Turn 5, only a single Japanese squad was left. That squad managed to slip away and picked up an abandoned US MMG. It managed to break 3 US squads on the final US movement phase, before Advancing Fire eliminated them for an American win.
