Overview:

The Chinese defeat in Eastern Burma and the loss of the Burma road forced a dramatic change of the Allied plans. The idea of a defense line south of Mandalay was scrapped and the general retreat was to continue. Protecting the withdrawal over the Irrawaddy river was the 48th Infantry Brigade of the Indian 17th Infantry Division. Their adversaries were the fresh troops of the Japanese Army's 18th Division.
Attacker: Japanese (18th Division)
Defender: British (Elements of 3rd Gurkha Rifles, 48th Indian Infantry Brigade and 7th Gurkha Rifles and the 7th Armoured Brigade)

2024-08-03(D) David Garvin vs Ed Akehurst British winAlthough Ed made a tactical error in his deployment, he still kept me on my heels throughout. I just kept pouring lead at the Japanese, and I was fortunate to get several pin results, almost fatal for the attacking Japanese.

2024-08-02(A) Michael Rodgers vs Ron DuenskieD British winThe Gurkhas mostly fell back to the board edge to make a wall with the three Stuarts. Not enough Japanese got through that wall.
2022-05-26(A) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall British win5 hrsJaps got a bloody nose Turn 1, losing a squad and a precious leader. I tried a hard western push, but the restrictiveness of the terrain proved this may not have been the optimal option. When my other SMC on that front wounded early my lack of leadership was definitely felt. The eastern force should be relatively contained by any competent Gurkha setup, but I did end up getting off 3VP from these units. The tanks were a much-needed bolster to the defense. A lot will depend on how they fare, but ultimately it's just going to come down to who rolls best at the end. When I lost concealment for an attempted ambush withdrawal through a tank hex, and a board edge HS pinned, I ended up 1VP short.
