Overview:

The campaign to push the Japanese out of New Guinea moved into the Markham and Ramu Valleys in 1943. The Australian 7th Division was tasked with the job of clearing these two strategic areas. As the 21st Brigade battled for high ground to the west, the 25th Brigade began to clear the Japanese from commanding heights overlooking the Ramu Valley and the Australian supply lines leading into the Finisterres. The 2/33rd Battalion had already secured the 4100-ft. feature in a daring night action which shocked the entrenched Japanese. Now the order went in for another attack on the next ridge on which the Japanese had dug in.

2021-06-04(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Australian winI set up my Japanese on all the reverse slope except for the mortar and HIP HMG. Turn 1 and 2 were good for the Japanese. The remaining turns saw my Japanese hammered in close combats as the Australians moved on to the hill. I was finally overwhelmed and completely destroyed on Turn 6. Dan's attack went pretty much to form with just a few hiccups. Can't say I enjoyed the scenario.
2021-06-04(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Australian win
2015-03-30(A) Jesus Pie vs Martí Cabré Australian winA very close game, decided at the last CC of the last turn
2015-03-29(D) Martí Cabré vs Jesús Pié Australian winThe allied plane was almost useless but the Australians advanced steadily and killed the Japanese with superior firepower and close combat. The leader placement was key due to the movement SSR. At the end there was a lone HIP Japanese unit in kunai but the Australians found it and eliminated it at the last CC of the game.
