RE: Japanese armor needed.
Nice Peter!
Here is my AAR from it:
Luzon: From The Ruins of Fort Stotsenburg
Ok, since I made a scenario for the new counters I had to play the scenario as well. The Americans have to be the aggressor as they have to eliminate more Japanese steps than the Japanese have to eliminate but they also have to be careful with their approach as the Japanese have some units with some bite to them.
The Americans advanced into the teeth of the Japanese first line of defense and paid a price, even the half step of M7 got blasted but after that the Infantry numbers closed with the Japanese dug-in units and the off-board artillery opened some holes as well. On turn four the American Tank Destroyers reinforcements arrived and Self-Propelled guns also arrived to strength the Americans attack. The Japanese Type 4 Ho-Ro was actually useful in eliminating an American Infantry step and demoralizing another but in the end the Americans had eliminated 18 Japanese steps and 3 leaders while losing 7 steps and 1 leader giving the Americans the victory. It was close until the end, as if they had lost two more steps it would have been a draw.
A fun scenario to tryout some new units. Of course I had to adjust the scenario somewhat, using different maps than originally planned but no big deal. I hope other gamers get to try this one out.
