Date: November 19, 1945 - Size, Medium - Location: Southern Kyushu, Japan - Intended for Head to Head play or Solo as either side - Narrative: The Japanese on the west coast had fallen back to the north. The US forces were advancing with the US Marine divisions taking Sendai and looking to move further north to ensure that Sendai remained in their hands. The depleted Japanese divisions clung to the hills and hid in their tunnels and trenches. The fighting was brief, sudden and vicious. In the end the advancing troops took 4,000 additional casualties before the four day operation was called to a halt. The Marines had failed to take the high ground. They dug in on the southern slopes of Mt. Shibi knowing full well that the Japanese had not been vanquished.
