Overview:
It was vital that the Ipo and Wawa Dams northeast of Manila be captured intact so that the water supply to the city could be maintained. The 38th Infantry Division was tasked with clearing the approaches west and south of Wawa Dam near the Bosoboso River. The terrain here was extremely rugged with dozens of razor-back ridges separated by deep gorges, all covered in dense jungle. One key ridge that dominated the area was nicknamed “Woodpecker Ridge” because of the constant chatter of Japanese machineguns along its slopes. It needed to be cleared before further advance was possible. Quad-.50-cal halftracks and a platoon of the new M%A1 “Satan” flamethrower tanks were brought forward to assist in the attack.Attacker: American (Reinforced elements of 152nd Infantry Regiment, 38th Infantry Division)
Defender: Japanese (Elements of Kobayashi Force, Shimbo Group)

| 2025-01-26 | (D) walter mcwilliams | vs | Tom Kearney | In progress | Tom and I continued our play through of the Blood and Jungle scenarios and I was lucky enough to the the Japaneese. It was a nail-biter but I managed to win with a counter attack on the last turn to take a Lvl4 hill back for the win. Highlight for the Japaneese, dropping a DC from a lvl 2 cave onto a Satan and getting the KIA! Extreamly hard on the US, | ||
| 2024-07-12 | (A) Rob MacGinley | vs | Ian Willey | Japanese win | Really this is hard work to get the VCs when the IJA have all the tricks and the terrain and VCs favour them I am sure it is doable for the yanks but I was not able to master teh spread out attack so that all VCs were obtained - a hard task I think |
