Overview:
After Lt. Col. Goettge's small reconnaissance patrol was wiped out near Matanikau on August 12, General Vandefrift ordered a strike against the Japanese concentration in the area. Given the overriding need to protect Henderson Field, it was a week before the Marines felt they could spare three companies of the 5th Marines for Vandergrift's clearing operation.Attacker: American (USMC) (B Company, 1st Battalion and L Company, 3rd Battalion, , 5th Marine Regiment)
Defender: Japanese (Matanikau Outpost and Garrison)

| 2024-09-20 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | Japanese win | 3 hrs | Fun scenario. Japanese got a lot of 3's with low factor shots and pinned and/or broke the Marines. Japanese got the win in a bloody confrontation. | |

| 2024-01-24 | (A) Jack Wilson | vs | Eric Zagdan | American (USMC) win | Second time with this one. With so little real estate to work with, the Japanese defender cannot avoid getting into multiple CCs where the stronger Marine units usually have a slight advantage. Once again, I benefitted from my low DRs augmented by my opponent's high DRs. I believe the Japanese can win this one- but not quite sure how. | ||
| 2023-09-08 | (A) Jack Wilson | vs | D. | American (USMC) win | Fun scenario using a historic map. My Marines got the better of several CC and squeaked out a CVP win. |
