17 August, 1942 Makin Atoll, Butaritari Island, Gilbert Islands. Historical scenario. Best played as allied or against human opponent. Two companys of Lt. Colonel Carlson's U.S. Marine Raiders are transported aboard the submarines Nautilus and Argonaut from Oahu, Hawaii to Makin Atoll and land on Butaritari Island in rubber boats. The purpose of this raid was to destroy enemy installations, gather intelligence, test raiding tactics, boost homefront morale, and to possibly divert some Japanese attention from Guadalcanal. The Raiders were also expected to completely wipe out the Japanese defence force on the island. Surprise would be a key element in this night assault.

Nice little scenario, good little map. A good game for beginners seeking to learn night combat rules. Hard to initiate banzai charge as Axis because of lack of forces.
Part of Jeepster777 and Yossarian's Rising Sun World Tour........always a fun scenario to play. Would make a nice online scenario too...
