Player's Note: This is the Japan '46 tutorial scenario. You will play the Allies vs. the defending Japanese force. You will want to consult the "Started.pdf" file found in the main folder of the Japan '46 game
Scenario Briefing: The island of Oshima had an airfield which the Allies felt would be good to use for the basing of short-range fighters so they made plans to land the US 97th Infantry Division on Y+3. Along with ship and air support the infantry stormed ashore and quickly overran the airfield but the battle for the rest of the island would take the better part of two days before it was considered secure. Small groups of Japanese soldiers continued to hold out until Y+10. Can you take the island objectives before you run out of time?
Note: The Cliff hexsides on the south side of the island cannot be crossed so make sure you stick to lower elevation terrain as you head down the west side towards the final objectives.
