All I'll say about this one is my Marines were slaughtered. Don't see any way the marines can get the VC in the time allotted without a miracle. Only other thing is that after whining about NEVER getting a hero last week I got a hero this week - and then rolled boxcars on a couple more Close Combats...
Played LNL, Rejoining the Regiment with my son. No pictures since it was a learning game. He lost track of movement points to get off the board. Next week we switch and I play the attacking Germans. It appears to be a tough one for them with the need to move move move.
After that moving on to full LNL and larger scenarios.
Just going through the log on this one makes me despise the VASL die roller...
The Marines have 5 turns to clear the circled area and do so with fewer losses than the Japanese.
My MMG and Mortar were first to shoot, both Malfed on their first shots. Not a good start...
Then the Marines generated 2 heroes on the first turn. (I don't recall EVER generating a hero on snake eye MC checks - EVER!@)
Have to rely on the Japanese CC ability and HTH.
 |
| Get a 1-1 odds, and ambush and a -1 leader leading it! Rolled a 10 so all I got was a CR out of it. At least next turn both sides got eliminated. |
 |
| Second one didn't work out well either. Average CC roll is now 8.5 |
 |
| Got the Marines to walk a half squad onto a HIP unit. Keep HIP till CC phase, no ambush of course and the Marines roll snakes... |
I should have gone with my whiny instict to end the suffering right there...
 |
| Maybe a DC attack will work. Nope, fired upon by the unit next door and they roll snakes. |
 |
| Next to last turn, MG repaired! Fire it and roll an 11. That CC was another high roll as well. 10 I think. |
I don't care that I'm a whiner. I got F*&*^%*&ng diced to death on this one. Back to the pacific Saturday the 23rd...
