Hi everyone, after many years of ignoring the PTO I am finally getting around to it. Anyway I am trying out various setups as the Japanese in the scenario Grabbing Gavutu (149 from Rising Sun).
I have read some AARs that show the Japanese INF gun can be very effective against the unarmoured LCV – but I am finding it very difficult to know where to place it. Because of all the US air power I am thinking in a cave or pillbox – however the restricted CA makes its placement a bit hit or miss? I would be very interested if anyone would like to share their Japanese setup to give me some ideas what to try. The lack of cover on the island makes hidden Japanese units surprising the US a less valid tactic.
On a side note, there appears to be a large number of Japanese defenders in this scenario – I know many of them are conscripts but it looks tough on the US if their planes underperform.
Regard David
