Thread: Scenario 1.

Ok. It's not really a strategy guide to Battle Hymn, more a what would you do scenario, as I'm a bit of a novice at these games. I'm hoping that more seasoned veterans will however shed some light and help people like me form a battle plan though, so I guess placing this under strategy is the best idea. Please try not to tell me what's coming up in this scenario if I'm missing something though, as you can understand, it's the fun of this game.

I'm playing my first scenario, doing quite well, took out most of the japs up the palm trees fairly easily. Then it moves to condition 2 and before we get much further on the map 4 more japanese arrive and rounds commence. Up on an embankment (about 5 hexes away are two Japanese soldiers armed to the teeth with a HMG. Slightly closer is another Jap unit hiding in the trees, and to the East is a Japanese officer worth 5vps if I capture him and get him off the map. Most of my units are together (crouching), and the maximum movement point allowance is 4 that I hold. There are huts between the HMG and my units, but I'm not sure whether this would block line of sight, and the HMG would easily tear the huts to pieces anyway. We have a wounded Jap soldier under capture in our hex, and I'm wondering whether a wounded Japanese unit prevents other Japanese units from opening fire at us. If it doesn't I'm of the inclination to spread my units out a bit to avoid multiple target hits on us if we get targeted. I'm also considering obviously making priority A to capture the officer who unfortunately appears to be quite a dab hand with a weapon cause I think he's got +2 weapon skill and a knife..and not just any knife, it's a frickin crocodile dundee knife, so capture could be hairy. I've got one unit with +2 weapon skill.
I was also considering getting my glorious commander to order the weakest, stupidist unit in our group, which noone particularly likes anyway, to run directly towards the unit in the trees and hopefully draw fire from the HMG while my +2 weapon skill hero can make his way towards the officer and hopefully take him prisoner.
Damn that HMG is scary!
btw, I don't believe that enemy units run out of ammo unless stated in a paragraph check. What's the story with grenades though?

This is a great game! I look forward to any insight that people can offer me cause at the moment I'm like a possum in headlights.
