This is an easy scenario for all players to obtain a DV.  It represents a failed attempt by the Japanese to counter attack the American lines on the night of March 8th.  Historically, the Japanese were spotted marshalling their infantry and the believed main body of the assault was disrupted by Marine artillery from two regiments.*

Important Design Notes:  Remember that this campaign uses the BPR Divisor.  Your final score in the campaign will be rewarded by surplus build points not used to buy, repair or upgrade your core force.  This is an easy scenario to win so you may be wise not to spend your build points refitting your forces.  The decision is yours.*

Deploy your forces to the right of the deployment line represented by the white "+" symbols.  With your 710 support points, you should purchase two ( off map ) 105mm batteries of medium artillery and one artillery observer.  Place the observer in hex 29,19 (marked with a white "OB") and set his range to zero.*
