RS Sorrow on Saipan - Design Notes

[Huib Versloot]

Pillboxes out of initial line of sight and the victory hexes moved to the back of the hill might help? The Marines would still have to go over it?

Yes this was a sentence I had in mind for the test report. Btw the defense value of Marines is 9, which is about as high as it gets. Most units have 7, including US AB troops. SS units have 8 and SS engineers also have 9.

I think historically the Japanese lost a multitude of troops compared to the marines, so it is not really inaccurate. It just makes it difficult for the designer to get it winnable for both sides.
