We re-played the Peleliu scenario from Combat Commander Pacific the Thursday after our games day (see previous post). I played the Japanese defenders and Rick took the US Marines.
 |
| Initial set up. I set up to take advantage of the enfilade special rule. |
 |
| The US Marines surge forward under the cover of smoke from mortars and WP grenades. |
 |
| Despite taking casualties, the marines manage to get round the back of the Japanese positions. While the forward bunkers are assaulted. The Japanese respond with mortar fire on the supporting 50 Cal. |
 |
In the end, the US manage to take all the objectives and win the game.
|
This game moved quicker as the rules were still in our head and we were familiar with the scenario. Despite early success in causing casualties on the Marines, a lack of fire cards and Rick keeping my forward bunkers busy, my defences were overwhelmed. It shows we can finish a scenario in a night. It may need us to play a block of games to keep us familiar with the game. Maybe next year!
