Fast forward to the end of Japanese turn 3 and we have my second force entering at the double quick to seal the 9-2 and around 3 squads, Baz and 50 cal in the jungle. Still too tough to get my turn 5 fragile tanks past the Baz position, so the plan was to bring on a banzai charge in turn 4 to occupy the US defenders and allow my tanks to push past and maybe head for the exit. End turn 3 Japanese turn is below. A lucky shot broke the BAZ squad, and an even luckier recovery roll ended up with only the 9-2 being able to find the loose BAZ in the dense jungle.
I think the DFPh at this stage striped a couple squads but not a punishing effect I had worried about. On to turn 4 and the banzai charge. My small charge was enough to soak up all the lead and make way for my main assault forces to move up behind and prepare for the real CC. My banzai charge totally melted away, and had the added effect of triggering a sniper to pin one of Jeff's heretofore concealed squads, in front of an OPP-Fire knee MTR unit. Playing IIFT, they rolled a hit with a snakes on the 3-1 effects roll for a KIA. The CC managed to take down the 9-2 and remain in melee with the final squad. Next turn this allowed me to fire into the melee, striping my guys but breaking the US squad and it was curtains for them. Turn 4 end for Japan is below. I was soon sitting at 31vp total, needing 32. We played on a bit longer, bringing in the US reinforcements, but once we did an accounting of the situation, Jeff conceded.
I've played in several Cyber Vasl Tournaments now, and they really are great fun! I get a chance to make some new ASL acquaintances and play some interesting scenarios at a pace the fits with my schedule. I have to take my hat off to Sergio for continuing to organize this event with great style. Thanks very much!
