Overview:

The British launched Operation Ironclad on 5 May in order to prevent the Japanese from using Madagascar as a submarine base. They landed on the Vichy French occupied island, and surprisingly met little to no resistance. Further inland, however, the French resolve stiffened. The 2nd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, now 6 or 7 miles inland, came under fire as they approached Col de Bonne Nouvelle. The Fusiliers found the Vichy French defending a rocky hill fortified with trenches, pillboxes, and wire, as well as artillery pieces that guarded the gateway to the port of Antsiranana (Diego Surez).

2025-02-02(D) Louis Langdeau vs Jody S Vichy French winPlayed this one a while back. Don't remember a bunch of specifics, but remember enjoying it quite a bit and liking the setup options for the Vichy French. Would recommend!
2012-04-24(D) Andy Beaton vs Jeff Wasserman British winI was at a loss about how to stop the Valentine tanks. I eventually got one in CC, but not before the French defence was destroyed and the Tetrarchs just drove on through.
2011-03-11(D) Ian Willey vs Martin Barker Vichy French winFirst win against Martin. The scenario was fun as well. Mobile defence and a couple of stop points. The hills make attacking slow so need to start the attack early.
