2 August, 1944 Barrigada, 5km E of Agana, Guam: 
[Best played against Human opponent]
 
At the end of July 1944, American forces were firmly established 
on Guam and pushing north pursuing a retreating enemy who knew 
there was no chance of evacuation and was committed to making 
the price for the liberation of the island as high as possibly. Following 
the pattern set on Siapan, the Japanese had begun a series of 
systematic withdrawals that would leave them firmly entrenched in 
the north, something the Americans were determined to prevent. 
However, water was in increasing short supply with few sources in 
the northern part of Guam capable of supplying the needs of the thirsty 
soldiers. Solving the problem was the mission of the 307th Regimental 
Combat Team, ordered to secure the small reservoir near Barrigada. 
Led by light tanks on 2 August, elements of the 1st and 3rd Battalions 
advanced towards the small village with its liquid prize. Suddenly the 
GIs found themselves in a desperate firefight with the Japanese 319th 
Independent Infantry Battalion firing from concealed positions and 
supported by several tanks of their own.
