Overview:

Just north of the hill on the east side of Nhpum Ga lies a water hole at the base of the hill. The hill slopes down steeply to the water hole, which was supplying the entire 2nd Battalion of Merrill's Marauders. Now that the Japanese were all around Nhpum Ga, the water hole was their only source of water. The Pioneer and Demolition Platoon of the Green Combat Team was responsible for holding the water hole and had set up defensive positions at the base of the hill. As a part of the all-out effort to take Nhpum Ga, the Japanese sent a force up the ravine northeast of the village to attack the hill. . . . .Another Nhpum Ga classic. The US player must hold the waterhole from a determined force of Japanese attackers. The US player will NEED the reinforcements when they arrive.
Attacker: Japanese (55th Infantry Regiment, 18th Infantry Division)
Defender: American (P&D Platoon, Green Combat Team, 2nd Battalion, 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional) "Merrill's Marauders"/2nd Battalion, 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional) "Merrill's Marauders")

Errata (source)
Hexrow U is misnumbered. The first hex is U1, then a hex with no coordinate. Call that hex "U1.5".MMP
SSR1: All Interior Jungle hexes are Dense, but in most cases, however, the "oversized colored center dot" in a Jungle hex designates Light Jungle [EXC: hexes U9-U11].MMP
Hexes E9 and P10 can be entered at the path rate from, respectively, F9 and O10. Hex L12 can be entered at the path rate from L11 and L13.MMP

2024-01-28(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval American winJapanese did Control the VC hex but good OBA scattered them. Toe-to-toe the American's FP was too much for the attackers to withstand Point Blank.

2023-10-13(D) Camille Garek vs Florian Yvis Japanese winEnjoyable for a first contact with PTO rules.
2021-11-09(A) Simon Staniforth vs Japanese winFun smallish scenario on the NG map,. It went to the final Player Turn but US moral proved too fragile in the end and his OBA drew a Red chit before losing Radio Contact so wasn’t a factor in the game. Sure it would make a huge difference to how this plays if it catches the IJA forces in the jungle
