Overview:
The 2/10th Battalion, reinforced with Matildas from B Squadron, 1st Armoured Regiment, was engaged in heavy fighting for Hill 87 and Parramatta. A company of 2/9th was ordered forward to control positions captured by 2/10th. Eventually elements of 2/9th, along with supporting tanks, were ordered to move west and clear the urban coastal area as far as Signal Hill. Klandasan, also known as Glandesa, had been regarded as the most beautiful European town in the Netherlands East Indies before the war. Now, the heavy naval and aerial bombardment designed to neutralize the Japanese defenses left it devastated.. . .Despite the scenario name, there isn't actually a hill involved and instead has a force of Australians trying to fight the long way across two deluxe city maps and exit at least 22 CVP off the other edge.Attacker: Australian (Reinforced 2/9th Battalion, 18th Infantry Brigade, 7th Australian Infantry Division)
Defender: Japanese (1st Battalion, 22nd Naval Base Force)
