I managed to squeeze one scenario into the 2.1 update. You may not have noticed it. It is scen057.
And these slots will all be filled to 100 very soon. Two more campaigns are coming too.
Here is "Cut Off"
CUT OFF!
Japanese Advance vs US Army Delay
Mokmer, New Guinea, June 12, 1944
Turns: 18
Design: Wild Bill Wilder
THE BACKGROUND
General MacArthur's forces in their long, painful conquest of the w2nd largest island in the world, New Guinea, were finally reaching the end of their two year campaign.
As Allied forces moved slowly westward, the next item of conquest was Biak Island. With its various airfields, Biak could present problems to the attacks on the Marianas by Admiral Nimitz's Marine and Army troops.
The major Japanese defensive force on the island was the 22nd Infantry Regiment, commanded by Colonel Kuzume. He could also field a company of light tanks. It was a sizable defense group.
Against this force came US Army troops of the 41st Division. After a rather uneventful landing, the GIs began the capture of Mokmer Airfield.
After fighting their way through the village to the north of the airstrip, a fierce counterattack was launched by troops of the 2nd Battalion of the 222nd with tank support.
The US 3rd Battalion, 163rd, suddenly found itself cut off and under heavy attack by the Japanese. One platoon was totally severed from the main body of the battalion.
Under repeated attack, the 3rd was in danger of being engulfed. The tank platoon of the 603rd Tank Company supporting the battalion was smothered in banzai charges.
The US Navy stepped into the action with support from LCI-34, a rocket carrying landing craft, and the destroyers Stockton and Reid. Then hidden Japanese coastal guns opened up and hit the Stockton, forcing the destroyers to withdraw. The 3rd was on its own.
