I designed it, of course it's great. :-)
Play it blind and both sides have to quickly decide on the tactics they will use to win this game. Make the wrong choice and you are toast. Check the scenario beforehand and you are just spoiling the fun.
The Japanese need to move quickly to good defensive positions before the Marines can strike.
Good run against implaced Japanese
Tough sledding for the americans in this one! Japs have caves that can transfer units to the battle field that need help quickly! Americans struggle to get any pressure on the caves.
