Lingayan Gulf - The Matrix Games version of Rising Sun

Bauang, Luzon - The Philippenes: Japanese General Homma's 14th Army begins landing, in force, in Lingayan Gulf. The American-Philippino command expects them there, and, still, are not prepared. The Japanese Kamajima Detachment pours ashore, near Bauang, driving elements of the 12th Infantry (PA) out of Bauang. The Japanese Tanaka Detachment approaches from the north down Route 3. US LtCol Bonnett's 71st Inf (PA) prepares to counterattack the Tanaka Detachment until the Kamajima Detachment lands in the middle of his plans. This scenario represents those hours as the Japanese troops begin their push toward Baguio.
