Sugar Loaf and Half Moon - Special Strategic Considerations

When playing the Memoir 44 scenario known as Sugar Loaf and Half Moon, there is a special rule which you need to remember:

When all the Japanese units in a section of the battlefield (right, center or left) are eliminated, the Marines gain one Victory Medal.

This means that if you can mount an attack in a single section, you can gain not only the medal for eliminating various units, but you can gain an extra medal for forcing out all units from a section. This can alter your plans.  Rather than distribute your attacks across multiple sections, do all you can to focus on one section and destroy the Japanese units (when playing as Allies).

Also note that this medal is just a temporary objective.  If the Japanese are able to re-enter their recently vacated section, the medal is regained.  However,  if the Allies are able to force out the Japanese on the final medal, they will of course, immediately win the round.
