| 2025-05-30 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Herbert Heyman | | Japanese win | | As part of FNF. My Japanese pressed hard to get the church and whatever else they could to start. In the end, it was enough. Barely. Final CC roll needed 6 or fewer for me to win, otherwise, he wins. My roll? 1, 1! This game was a razor's edge of fun! |

| 2025-04-21 | (A) Doug Bleyaert | vs | Mike Nicely | | Gurkhas win | | Scenario went to the last close combat dice roll with the Gurkas hanging on to a victory, |
| 2024-07-15 | (D) Douglas Leslie | vs | Marc Hanna | | Gurkhas win | | Had a blast playing this scenario. The Gurkha heavy weapons were unscathed during the initial Japanese attack but didn't contribute much in the battle that followed. In the end, it came down to an assault on one victory building which only one 648 survived long enough to enter CC against one and a half Japanese squads, both of which were pinned. It all came down to the final CC DR. The Gurkhas needed to kill the Japanese defenders in hand to hand combat at 1 to 1 odds and then survive a 1-4 attack in return. On this occasion, the dice gods were with me and I pulled of the win...just. Great scenario and it is easy to see why it has achieved "classic" status |

| 2024-03-15 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Richard Burton | | Japanese win | | March Madness Round 2 |
| 2024-03-10 | (D) Vic Lauterbach | vs | JM | | Japanese win | | I got the Indian/Gurkha airborne in this one and set up to face an attack through the kunai around 42O2. I never found a good position for the MMOR but the ATG pounded 42oI3 and J1. Jim's first banzai went well for me as 2 mutual eliminations out of 3 melees allowed me to reoccupy 42J3 and 42oI3. Two costly Casualty MCs weakened my first counterattack to retake 50G10 and 42oG1 on Jim's right flank. It failed and left me with one GO 458 in 42F3. My last counterattack sparked a desperate HtH Melee in 42J1 that left Jim controlling the empty building. Overall, this one deserves its reputation as a classic. We both attacked and defended and were convinced our losses made our force too weak to win! Jim: Rough start for my "Furious" soldiers who took two CR results from 447 FF getting into position to Banzai, but that charge took the church. The heavy cost (2 MMC and my 8-1 in exchange for Vic's 8-0 and a 447) left me weak. Vic quickly knocked my 237 out of the church, so I hunkered down to hold 42G1 and J1. It came down to HtH CC mutual elimination in J1. What more could I ask? When the Japanese get to move around, they're fun to play! This very good scenario slightly favors the British; give the Japanese player the balance. |
| 2023-06-27 | (D) Mark Thompson | vs | Chip Wertenberger (Japanese) | | Gurkhas win | | Intense brawl that included two successful Banzai Charges in turn 1 that resulted in Japanese Control of the church/required victory buildings and very bloody H-t-H CC lead by the Gurkhas that turned them out in turn 4. A critical (if only) contribution of the 76mm was an effective WP screen that allowed the Gurkhas to rapidly close and unleash devastating AFPh. A superhuman Japanese crew in the steeple made things interesting, but the Gurkhas' leadership and prowess in CC prevailed in every CC that followed. Fun scenario with many permutations possible for both sides. Highly recommended. |
| 2022-04-23 | (D) Shane Pask | vs | Jamie Westlake | | Japanese win | | ANZACON. Jamie started with a Banzai charge with everything. The Stokes MTR immediately malfed and the 57 ran out of HE. I had to abandon the church on the first turn but the displaced defenders created a hero when my 8-1 leader was wounded. (The hero was immediately wounded and the wounded 8-1 killed). The Japs malfed most of their MG but repaired 2 LMG on T5 in time to create a meat wall to prevent me reaching any of the buildings I needed to recover. |
| 2022-01-25 | (A) pierre vasad | vs | Gruhl | | Gurkhas win | | Deux banzai charge trop prématurées (tour 2 et 3) et un mortar au ROF increvable ont considérablement réduit les forces japonaises. Ils ont quand même réussit à prendre l'église et trois huttes mais trop vulnérables à la contre-attaque ghurkas n'ont pas pu faire grand chose. Tout s'est joué à deux CC dans les huttes très désavanageux pour les japonais (1/4 et 1/6) au dernier tour (où un snake eye japonais a failli créer un hold-up...). |
| 2021-11-06 | (D) Neal Ulen | vs | Scott Rowland | | Gurkhas win | | If the Gurkha get rolling it's hard to stop them, and if the British can keep the Japanese from crossing the clearing to the other side of the village to capture huts, they have a good chance. Gurkha's should engage in CC as much as possible, and invoke HtH if they get an ambush. It's a quick way to take care of those pesky Japanese who just never back down. |
| 2021-07-19 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Dennis Dowd | | Japanese win | | We tried this one again. Dennis set up the Allied forces further back and giving up the church saving his forces for the counterattack. I was overly aggressive with the Japanese thinking they would simply stripe and then get into CC, but many of them were out right KIAed. Still, as the Allies tried to counter attack the Japanese returned the favor of breaking squads and they were able to narrowly hold on to two of the huts near the church. A very close game. |
| 2021-07-12 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Dennis Dowd | | Japanese win | | First playing of this fine scenario. Dennis set up his forces too forward and were overwhelmed with SMOKE and WP allowing the Japanese to take the buildings and cross the open ground settling themselves in the huts and already dug foxholes. Victory for the Japanese called early. |
| 2021-06-21 | (D) Jeff Wright | vs | Stu Rubin | | Gurkhas win | | |
| 2021-04-22 | (D) X von Marwitz | vs | Lars-Peder Jensen | | Gurkhas win | | Just completed this fine small PTO action which I can readily recommend to play. The the Japanese basically overrun a village and be done with it when Gurkha reinforcements appear on the scene who have to take it back. So both sides will have to attack and to defend in this one.

| 2021-01-17 | (D) wayne baumber | vs | Joel | | Gurkhas win | | Good solid PTO fayre, the HIP 6 pdr did very well in breaking up the initial Japanese attack. Although the church finally fell to the Japanese the Gurhka counter attack was far to strong and ended up being a fairly comfortable win. |
| 2020-11-22 | (D) Larry Rohlfing | vs | Tom Repetti | | Gurkhas win | | |
| 2020-11-21 | (D) Michael Rodgers | vs | Paul Lauger | | Japanese win | | At-start Brits took a lot of casualties for little gain. Japanese had six building hexes. Ghurkas could not take back enough to win. |
| 2020-04-29 | (A) Jason Wert | vs | JR Tracy | | Gurkhas win | | |
| 2020-02-20 | (A) Raoul Duke | vs | MB | | Japanese win | | A PTO classic. An initial Banzai charge supported by mortar fire got the Japanese into the objective area in short order. Then the Gurkhas showed up and the Japanese had to hold on for dear life in three turns of house to house fighting. When the dust finally settled, the Japanese won, but the issue had been in doubt throughout the last CCPh. |
| 2018-12-10 | (A) David Shannon | vs | Joe Moro | | Japanese win | | A fine scenario. Opted for a conservative attack with the Japanese and didn't Banzai on first turn. Still managed to reach the critical church VC building in short order and held the village with enough forces for the inevitable strong Gurkha counter attack. |
| 2016-10-07 | (A) Michael Rodgers | vs | Jeff Wasserman | | Gurkhas win | | My early Banzai got troops into the valuable church, but I over committed the follow-on troops to the CC attacks. The British ATG and MTR took their toll. The British reinforcements eventually pushed my Japanese back out of the church. |
| 2016-08-13 | (A) Gordon Jupp | vs | Derek Cox | | Gurkhas win | | Great little scenario. An inauspicious start, no smoke or WP and a broken mortar in the turn 1 prep was followed by a pretty good banzai BUT I couldn't get any ambushes and in the resulting HtH Derek consistently took my attackers out...I had captured the church by turn 2 but my losses were crippling and I couldn't keep the Gurkhas out, good fun tho! |

| 2014-03-15 | (A) Russell Dewhurst | vs | Jim F | | Japanese win | | Gurkhas resigned after turn 1 Banzai charge |
| 2014-03-15 | (A) Russell Dewhurst | vs | Jim F | | Japanese win | | I took the village by turn 2 cutting off the routing units thus eliminating all but the guns. The Gurkha reinforcements made more progress, slowed down a little on turn 3, but had a good last two turns' attack-- they didn't take enough buildings back from me mainly because they kept failing PTCs on the last turn. Good scenario in which both sides get to attack, Japanese get to try banzais, and good practice with PTO terrain. |

| 2013-10-10 | (A) Don Lazov | vs | Jim Wiseman | | Japanese win | | This was for the PTO Mini. Fun scenario. |
| 2013-03-12 | (A) John Van Natta | vs | Jerry | | Japanese win | | This is a good little scenario that can be played fairly quickly. Pulled off the win in my first PTO scenario in a year or more. |

| 2012-12-11 | (D) Andy Beaton | vs | Jeff Wasserman | | Gurkhas win | | Starting to get the hang of PTO - Gurkha/Japanese scenarios are a blast. This one turned on an amazing streak of antitank AP fire on Japanese infantry |
