Live Stream - Valor & Victory - Imperial Japanese v. US Marine Corps - Bougainville 1943
No big modern expansion this time … today we’re taking Valor & Victory back to its roots for a game in the South Pacific. In November 1943, elements of the US 3rd Marine Division landed at Empress Augusta Bay on Bougainville Island, part of the broader “Operation Cartwheel” effort to isolate and neutralize the Japanese super-base at Rabaul.
But as the men of “George” Company, 2/21st Marines would learn, the Japanese of 23rd Infantry Regiment / 6th IJA Division took a different view on the matter.
We’re hoping to bring aboard a new player this session, so we hope to see some of you there!
