Overview:

When part of the 6th Marines landed on Oroku on June 4, they found the Navy troops armed with hundreds of machine guns and light cannon stripped from fighter planes. A more cohesive force could have done great damage with this armament, but within three days the Marines had cleared the Naha Airfield of enemy, leaving the area to Seabee units to begin fixing the strip for immediate use. A surprise attack on the airfield found it defended by nothing more than the Seabees working on restoring it. . . .Can US forces clear one runway of crashed planes, shellholes and rubble before losing > 12 CVP?
Attacker: Japanese (Naval Base Force)

2026-06-27(D) Paul Legg vs Tim ReadeD Japanese winDouble One 2026 2nd round

We both wanted the Japanese but ended up with curious balance for the Americans of 1 less squad.
2026-06-27(D) David Ramsey vs Andy Bagley American winA strange scenario that probably needs some clarification around the timing of the VC, definition of a "clear runway" and rubble-type used at the start. Certainly unique, but ultimately one that is worthy of one play for novelty sake more than ASL-entertainment. My US Seabees pretty much focused solely on clearance attempts and ignored the Japanese bearing down on them - but the Japanese have a tough time of it from our observations.
2026-06-27(A) Andy Bagley vs Dave Ramsey American winSee Dave's comments on this scenario, which I agree with. There seems little the Japanese can do against an American defence that largely ignores the Japanese attack in favour of clearing the runways. My attempted 'left hook' was just too slow, and the only alternative seemed to be a Turn 1 banzai charge, which i felt would have been suicidal.
