Overview:

Colonel Jones'plan to break through and clear the "tail" of Corregidor involved sending the remnants of his three battalions around the north and south faces of Malinta Hill and to have them meet up atop the ridge that leads toward Kindley Airfield. Major Robert "Pug" Woods' 1st Battalion would move along the north slope towards Engineer Point and clear that area before moving further east. They would be supported by the two remaining functioning Sherman tanks on the island. Artillery fire would precede the infantry assault, while air support and naval gunfire would remain on-call throughout the advance.
Attacker: American (Elements of 1st Battalion, 503rd Regimental Combat Team)

2022-07-09(A) Scott Fischbein vs Will Allred Japanese winIn our continuing attempt to learn more advanced PTO rules, Will and I picked this one to learn the basics of caves and NOBA, as well as direct fire NOBA and a review of air support. At first the American firepower and various assets seemed very powerful, but as I closed in and started losing units, including both of my tanks to his 3 THH, things started looking a little tougher! I should have pulled back and reconsolidated but I forged ahead under the cover of some WP which proved ineffective against his AA gun. He caused enough casualties and still had his cave and pillbox left, so I conceded in turn 3 knowing I didn't have enough troops left to pull it off. Learned some new rules, and some valuable lessons about screening AFVs with infantry when there are THHs lurking about!
