#45_1208_1: Japanese Counterattack - Take Sendai! - PzC 22 Japan '45

Date: December 8, 1945 - Size, Medium - Location: Southern Kyushu, Japan - Intended for Head to Head or Solo play as either side. For Solo Victory Conditions see the file "J45-Solo-Vic-Cond.pdf" in the main game folder. Narrative: The US forces had secured the line from Sendai to Tsuno and had dug in for the winter. Meanwhile, under cover of the terrible monsoon weather, the Japanese had moved forces to the south to counterattack the enemy position. With no air cover and the naval forces elsewhere the US troops tried to hold as best as they could but there were just too many enemy forces. On the west coast the Marines ran into formidable forces. Out of the hills south of Mt. Shibi sprang hidden forces and all of their gains of the early advance were reversed. Only because Sixth Army HQ sent in additional reinforcements was the situation stabilized but the Japanese had shown that they still had something to say about the outcome of Operation Olympic.
