Overview:
The obvious invasion sites on Bougainville were avoided in favor of a landing around Cape Torokina in Empress Augusta Bay. The usual prolonged naval bombardment was rejected in order to maximize the element of surprise. At 0710 the first wave of LCVPs, carrying some 7500 Marines began the 5000-yard run to shore. Opposing them was a single reinforced company of the Japanese 6th Infantry Division. After recovering from their initial shock, the Japanese calmly donned their best uniforms and prepared to fight to the death. . .Attacker: American (USMC) (Companies A & C, 3rd Marine Regiment / 2nd Marine Raider Battalion)
Defender: Japanese (2nd Company, 23rd Infantry Regiment / 23rd Regimental Gun Company)

2016-12-11 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | Txema Mainez | American (USMC) win | We had to restart play as we did a mess with the seaborne assault and landing craft rules. But on the second time we had a blast. The Japanese waited for deadly fire from hidden pillboxes and retreated using tunnels, while the Marines destroyed such tunnels and roasted the defenders using zippos, corkscrews, pineapples and bazookas. I slowly advanced the Marines and searched all terrain to find hidden enemies. The sheer fire capability of the Americans killed nearly all Japanese defenders and on turn 6 they surrendered the beach. | ||
