• 1. The U.S. Player is the First Player.
• 2. The Japanese Player deploys his units first.
• 3. Any U.S. unit which exits from hex 2925 may re-enter the game as a reinforcement four Game-Turns later. These units may enter on any Northern map edge hexes within normal reinforcement restrictions.
• 4. The U.S. Player must exit any one (3-2-5) infantry unit off the Southern map edge from hex 0531 on or before Game-Turn Three. If he fails to do so, at the end of Game-Turn Three, the Japanese Player removes, and receives Victory Points for any U.S. (3-2-5) of his choice as if it were a destroyed unit.
• 5. This Scenario begins on Game-Turn One and continues through Game-Turn Eight.

[16.14] Victory Conditions

The Japanese Player receives Points for the following: 15 Points for occupying Carigara and 10 Points for each Japanese unit adjacent to or occupying any Airfield hex. The Japanese Player also receives Victory Points for the destruction of U.S. combat units, and, in addition, he receives full Victory Point value for any U.S. unit that is unable to trace a Line of Communications to a Beach hex. The U.S. Player, in addition to Points received for destroyed Japanese units (see 15.1 and 15.2), receives Victory Points for occupying hexes 2215, 2312 and 2918. He receives Points only if the unit occupying the hex is able to trace a Line of Communications to a Beach hex.
