The taking and holding the bridge is the deciding factor. Armor, cavalry and airstrikes. Exciting little scenario.
Not too bad for IJN to get a draw, but tough to get a win with all the US Engineers guarding the bridge.
Not as well-designed as some of the other scenarios by the same designer. Difficult for the Japanese player to get anything more than a draw of loss. Wish the map had been extended farther east by one or two KMs.
