We started the first Assault Period three times, with different approaches, but the result was always similar:
We are both no experts regarding PTO, so we are probably missing something. What is a winning strategy for the Americans in this campaign?
- The American attacker loses some LCs on the way to the beach. They are unarmored, so that can't be avoided.
- They lose most of the passengers of a bunch of other LCs the turn they set foot on the island. Point-blank machine gun fire (probably with a -1 or -2 leader) and thrown DCs do that to you.
- The survivors struggle to get a foothold on the island. The Japanese can move around more easily, there might be another ambush or two by HIP squads, and by that point, NOBA is as dangerous to the attacker as to the defender.
