Overview:

Roy Matsumoto, a Japanese-American volunteer in Merrill's Marauders, would sneak up to the enemy lines at night to learn where the Japanese planned to attack the next day. On the night of the 5th, Matsumoto had found out that the Japanese planned to attack a U.S. salient on McLogan's Hill. With this information, the Marauders were able to prepare a little surprise for the Japanese. During the attack, Matsumoto shouted out commands in Japanese, which confused the enemy. And he was able to get lead elements of the attack to Banzai into the waiting guns of the Marauders.
Attacker: Japanese (114th Infantry Regiment)

2025-12-06(A) Michael Harris vs Steve H Japanese winWon on final turn when American leader and 3 squads all failed a 1MC. Of course the turn before 2 of those squads rallied even though under DM status...so it kind of balanced out. Will definitely play it agin. I took out the American hero very early which helped avoid any forced Banzai Charges.
2025-09-04(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval American winForward defense prevented Japanese breakthrough.
2025-05-25(A) Tuomo Lukkari vs Teemu Lukkari American win
2020-12-12(A) Maurizio Mai vs Fabio Mazzucchelli American winInteresting scenario, but the limited forces and the short duration might make it quite dicey. The SSR about the hero calling for enemy Banzai charge is an original twist.
2018-07-15(A) Vic Lauterbach vs Robert Campbell Japanese winThe Japanese sniper killed the US 9-1 early, the squad with MMG broke, and I was able to swam K9 and finish off the defenders in HtH CC.
