Overview:

The Japanese chose a ridge on the northwest coast of Bougainville to contest the Allied advance. This fortified position was shaped like an amphitheatre, making the ground to its front deadly to cross. The Australian plan involved a frontal assault under the cover of artillery pieces. As the bombardment lifted, the Australians advanced into a hail of bullets from Japanese untouched by the shelling.
Attacker: Australian (B Company, 31/51st Battalion, 11th Brigade)
Defender: Japanese (Elements of the 81st Regiment)

2026-02-18(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Japanese win1.5 hrs
2026-02-18(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Japanese win1 hrsHate to say this...but I wish I hadn't played this. My bombardment missed everything. Then I didn't get Radio Contact. Then I only managed 3 smokes before I had no more smoke General Lee. I moved forward, got whacked...cause...5 Pillboxes covering each other kinda does that pretty easily. I never got my OBA...as both my spotting rounds went off board or out of LOS. MALF'd my 76 ARTY...which didn't do squat anyway...and my infantry were broken in the open ground approaching the target. Ya gotta love designs that throw open ground overlays to ensure that the attacker gets ripped. I can't recommend this one.
2009-06-01(A) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker Japanese winUrg! No smoke, break the radio and the bombardment striped one Japanese crew before the Australians were destroyed!
