Scenario 5 Bougainville – Avery Abernethy

In the Bougainville scenario you have to land, advance, build two airfields and then survive the Japanese Counter-Attacks. Your Marines must be aggressive to take the ground and build both landing strips within 20 turns. A large surface fleet naval battle must be won to protect your Marine supply ships.

The Land Battle, part 1:

The Marines have a successful landing, move inland quickly, and start construction of the first airstrip in good order. Marine forces move north towards the second airfield location and encounter the first Japanese counter-attacks. Marine Artillery has a big impact.

But it takes thirteen of the 40 turns to capture the 2nd landing strip site.

I finish the 2nd landing strip on turn 18, just two turns ahead of the deadline.

Tomorrow, the naval battle, and back to the ground fight on Monday
