Night fight Pelelieu

 First Lieutenant "Choo-Choo" has to hold the line while the remainder of Company recovers from the first day of Combat.  This is a standard Envelopment scenario game, with nightfighting and Flares.  Flares that dont appear leaving 3rd Platton unable to stop a lot of Nips getting into the rear area.  This was a decisive win for the Japs.

Japs first move onto the table


The Jap FO brought down some tremendous fire on the CP and the centre USMC Squad position then tried to slip past but was taken out by a BAR team who bagged his sword.  Two Jap squads went forward in the centre to back up the already deployed sniper teams, these teams were able to trigger one round of jump trigger fire.

The heaviest action was close to the beach and the Marines right flank a fire team was moved out of the positions to try to choke of the Jap moves, but they just went full steam past the .30 cal 



Centre .30 team spot Japs on the wire

Banzai!






The .30 cal team did hold out and "Choo Choo" was able to get the Centre USMC Squad into action killing the Jap ofiicer but not stopping two Jap squads and a sniper team getting off table.  the remaining Jap Squad was in the USMC deployment zone.
