WW2 Supers d6: Strategery

a.k.a. a thread for Maps, pics, explanations of the 'big' picture, etc.
For example, here's a simple, good map of the Bataan Peninsula with what's happening for you guys right now:
The Naval/Marine base is right next to Mariveles Field and your two squads are engaged in separate skirmishes/battles pretty much right where the 'Battle of the Points' text is.
You have all been assigned to the hastily thrown together "Naval Battalion"; an ad-hoc unit made up of bluejackets (enlisted sailors) from the Canopus which is lying aground not far South and West of Corregidor Island; pilots and aircraft mechanics from the U.S. Army Air Corps (the precursor to the US Air Force) and Naval and Marine aircraft squadrons who no longer have planes; and a handful of Marines from the 4th Regiment ('China Marines') who are mostly stationed on Corregidor and the 1st Separate Battalion's Anti Aircraft Batteries and Security troops for Mariveles Bay Naval Base.
The Battalion was put together around January 10th and you've all spent the past 2 weeks learning basic drills on how to handle Rifles, learn Infantry tactics, muddy up your blue uniforms for camo; etc.
On the night of the 22nd/23rd the Japanese landed troops all along the West Coast area known as "the Points"; but these troops are scattered, lost and attempting to connect with each other and then march towards Mariveles. You all have been sent to stop them. The primary fighting is along the 'Orion-Bagac' Line, closer to the village of Orion on the East coast side of the Peninsula. You guys can see some future events coming on the map; but don't worry about it.
I hope this helps!
