I will make every effort to prime the database for scenario entry tonight.
I have some time this coming "short" week to get started on the scenarios.
I'm getting ready to hit Red Beach tomorrow morning. I'm all set up and ready to go.

Enjoy! I played that one early this week and it was tense.

Tense and engaging are good adjectives to apply to well crafted scenarios. Another good term is "it went right to the wire." Find one like that and your evening play time is set.

Yes, it is, the holidays are back.

Received Saipan 1944 Today! Very excited and it looks great with every scenario looking engaging.

Hey, armyduck, good to hear from you. We need to catch up if you are back into PG again.

I may not be the first one to complete a play of Saipan #1, but I will be the first to record it (at least here!). In a massive slugfest, My Marines lost 22 steps as they crushed the Japanese defenders. I called the game during turn 10, when the only Japanese left on the map were a 37 ATG, an 81mm MTR, and 4 leaders. At that point the Marines were more than capable of controlling the necessary hexes. It was smashing fun; (well maybe not for the Marines). I give this one a 5!
Well done Jay!
I'll enter it into the database when that's ready!

I am glad you enjoyed it Michael! I had similar results with Red Beach but it took all my turns.

The US Marines have made it to England (accompanied by Indians, Japanese Paratroopers and some earlier 20th century Estonians)
