A Place Without Mercy*
*
Date: February 10, 1945*
*
Battle Location: Manila, the Philippines*
*
Battle Type: US Army assault vs Japan defend*
*
Description: The Japanese commander in the Philippines had not intended to defend Manila, but the naval commander in the area did not get the message and did not evacuate the city when they had the chance.*
*
Instead the Japanese units in Manila, though greatly outnumbered, dug in for defence and set parts of the city on fire. The ensuing battle for Manila turned out to be a grim and cruel fight, particularly on the city inhabitants.*
*
In this scenario you are to take command of the 2nd Battalion, 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment and clear a section of Manila. You'll have some armor support.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the US Army side.*
