Scenario Briefing: With the fall of Ormoc the writing was on the wall: the Japanese had failed to hold the island of Leyte. The 77th Division's next move was to advance north and link up with X Corps. Resisting them was a motley collection of Japanese forces which had been decimated earlier that month in combat. The newly arrived 77th Infantry Regiment of the 30th Division would provide the freshest troops available.
The Allied attack went well with the Japanese unable to hold back the US forces. Later in the offensive the US conducted a small landing operation at Palompon with the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 305th RCT. With Palompon captured the Japanese were basically cut off from their supply line.
Player Notes:
1. The scenario is shorter than this historical events with the reinforcement option happening two days before it happened to reduce the amount of turns to improve playability.
2. For this scenario the Allied player has the option of either landing the two battalions at Palompon or using them with the rest of their regiment at Ormoc.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Alternative Assault Resolution, Artillery Set Up, Recon Spotting, Virtual Supply Trucks, Low Visibility Air Effects, Quality Fatigue Modifier, Counterbattery Fire, Night Fatigue, Programmed Weather, Limited Air Recon.
