Tense games in this pacific front. The artillery was used quite heavily by Artimon18 in the first round, I managed to remove it halfway with a Barrage. After that Artimon18 was going in hiding, but I managed to pick off enough units from the caves that I could win that round.
In the return game I was lucky enough to have a Barrage in the beginning and aimed a well-placed hit on the Japanese Artillery, removing it from the board very early. Artimon18 managed to fence off my attacks and pressured my units on the back line and managed to secure a victory.

A tough battle against a formidable opponent. The first round could have gone both ways. But in the second game the Japanese were unstoppable and overwhelmed the allied left flank.

Thanks for yet another set of great battles! Good luck with the rest of your matches!

Thanks for the great match VCX. It was a fun challenge and I confirm the result.

Had a lot of great rolls the first game, so Japanese troops were able to roll over allies (so to speak), only way to do that to a quality opponent like lucky91450. Second game was closer, I was winning on my right side, but lucky91450 managed to wipe me out on my left.
