Watch “D Day at Saipan Part 19,” a gameplay video for D-Day at Saipan from Grantos on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Grantos on YouTube:
Hi all
36:00 Turns out I make a big mistake with this attack as the position is on a hill doubling the unit’s strength. I don't notice this until I'm recording Part 23 so difficult to fix :-(
Edit: I believe I've made an error here as it looks like this terrain is Rough and not Hill after all. However Rough terrain gives x1.5 to the strength of the unit, so the result should still have ended in no effect I believe.
1:34:30 It is 1.5mp into sugar cane so I don't have enough movement. However I do come up with a solution in a later Part.
1:55:00 The position is disrupted so I think I could have moved into intense FOF.
1:59:20 I believe this should have required a MUF check.
Cheers
Grant

About D-Day at Saipan, from BoardGameGeek:
D-Day at Saipan is a solitaire game that simulates the first five days (15 to 19 June 1944) of the US invasion and conquest of the island of Saipan. Despite heavy resistance, over 8,000 Marines of the 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions managed to reach the shore that first morning and by the end of the day approximately 20,000 men had established a beachhead, despite having suffered over 2,000 casualties. Over the next five days the Marines were joined by the Army's 27th Infantry Division and began pushing inland toward Aslito Airfield and Japanese forces in the southern and central parts of the island. Conquest of the island provided a secure base that put the Japanese home islands within range of B-29 bombers.
The player or players control the US forces assaulting the island. The game system controls the opposing Japanese forces. The no-dice combat system highlights the unknown enemy deployments and coordination of the right weapon systems and tactics.
