Overview:

Following a valiant defence of Isurava Village in late August, the Australians withdrew south, relentlessly pursued by the Japanese. The Japanese Nankai Shitai (South Seas Force) under the command of Major General Horii, were eager to inflict a devastating defeat on the Australians. Isurava had hurt Maroubra Force, but it was not broken. Brigade Hill is an impressive mountain ridge roughly halfway along the Kokoda Trail. Mission Ridge extends from its north face like a nose. The eastern face is very steep whilst the western face is only slightly less so as it drops down to the Fagume River. It was here that Brigadier Arnold Potts, Commander of Maroubra Force, was ordered to stand and fight the advancing Japanese.
Attacker: Australian (2/14th and 2/16th Battalions, 21st Brigade)
Defender: Japanese (South Seas Detachment)

2022-06-24(D) David Ramsey vs Gerard Burton Australian winCame down to the last CC although the Australians had the better chances. Great PTO scenario for tactical choices.
2021-10-17(A) Shane Pask vs Australian winWhen Sgt Smith and 2 squads were killed on turn 2 in CC, the west flank was broken and the situation looked bad. However good rolls (good tactics?) allowed Sgt Skinner from HQ to clear Sgt Kiro and his MMG crew from hill 507. Stubborn Jap resistance pushed him off the hill after claiming it and the Japs reclaimed it on turn 6 with a mtr HS. Prep fire broke this HS however and allowed me to claim victory by advancing in unopposed.
2021-08-14(A) Paul Legg vs Peter Catchpole Australian win

2020-11-29(A) Ulric Schwela vs Stefano Cuccurullo Japanese winA tremendous seesaw battle, which saw fortunes change every turn. It continued to a real nail-biter in the last turn's AFPh! The hills ended 2-2 for a Japanese win, each hill being a separate micro battle throughout the whole game, with virtually no interaction between them. Biggest mistake for me as Australian was insufficient perimeter control, meaning I probably lost 7-8 squads for FtR through the scenario, which would have been useful. OTOH the Ozzies were mostly lucky in CC, avoiding ambush and rolling low. Multiple options and good replayability.
2020-09-20(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM Australian winA real test of intestinal fortitude! Jim set up strong on the front and back hills, leaving the middle one (502) undefended except for an HIP HS. Lots of ambushes and bloody HtH CC as expected. I got the win but it wasn't easy. Good balance.
