Scenario Briefing: The Japanese had rightly deduced that the Allies would spend most of their energy on the attack on Tokyo and the advance northward to the Kanto Plain so once the main offensive had begun on the 3rd of April they launched a spoiling attack with the 209th Division on their right flank against the US 31st Division.

The GIs were not ready for the attack having made a feint attack on the first day of the offensive. With only minor defensive fortifications, and orders from General Ridgway to hold out and until reinforcements arrived, the men of the "Dixie" division were in for a real fight!

Note: The numbers are about even on the first day, but the Japanese have a morale advantage. The Axis player will not receive reinforcements.
