Date: November 7, 1945 - Size, Medium - Location: Southern Kyushu, Japan - Intended for Head to Head or Solo as the US player vs. Japanese-AI. For Solo Victory Conditions see the file "J45-Solo-Vic-Cond.pdf" in the main game folder. Briefing: This scenario portrays the struggle for the US forces to drive inland from their positions they had taken on the 5th of November. The fighting had been hard for two days following the landings and on the 6th of November. The resistance had been brutal but with the addition of the 77th Division on the 6th the I Corps had made good progress inland. Now they were poised to open up the offensive and gain more ground. Losses were expected to be heavy. The suicide planes and boats had already taken a toll on the troops in the transports. Will the US forces be able to take the key objectives they need in order to continue their drive to linkup with the forces moving inland from Ariake Bay?

US Major Victory | 54 | 6 |
I commanded the American forces. Allies only need 600 points for a Minor Victory. Since 7 victory hexes worth 1,000 points are 7-10 hexes from the American front lines, I choose to advance in the center and expand on the flanks as possible. In the end, the Americans captured just two victory hexes - Shimokurowaga (200 VPs) and Kamikura (100 VPs). The rest of the points came from destroying Japanese troops and the high-loss Banzai attacks that were launched against the American troops at Shimokurowaga near game end. Interesting game. Not sure if VP hexes too close to American lines. Plan to switch sides and command the Japanese.
