Turn-2 After Action Reports

Battle 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
