No.10,
Turn-2, (Ground Battle via Axis & Allies
Miniatures)
"The
American over-reliance on air power and obstacles proved
to be their
undoing in this particular engagement. While the appearance
of the F4
Corsair was at first frightening, we soon discovered
that it could not hold
back the tide of our advance on the fortified enemy objective.
The actions
of Corporal Takeda Kiru's machine gun section are particularly
worthy of
praise from the Emperor as he not only killed the few
American Marines left
to defend to position, but single handedly shot down
the Marine aircraft
that flew in the skies for so long uncontested. Where
were our fighter
planes?" - Letter of Captain Sonju Kempo, 26th Infantry
to brother in
Imperial Tank Corps
