Overview:

At the start of the Malayan Campaign, British forces thrust into Thailand with the intent of capturing strategic points to deny them to the Japanese. Once the Japanese landed at Kota Bharu, however, the British realized they would soon be flanked and recalled their troops. This useless movement weakened the British line at Jitra, where the Japanese finally attacked and soon overran the initial British units, forcing them to withdraw. Near dawn on the 12th, the Japanese forced a detachment of tanks and infantry down the trunk road until, on the outskirts of Asun, the lead tank was knocked out and a Gurkha position was discovered blocking the road.
Attacker: Japanese (Saeki Detachment and 3rd Tank Brigade)

2022-05-11(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Gurkha winUsed Jap balance. A lot of CC that dragged on into multi Turn Melee. Crucial MMC self rally on the flank created an 8-1 leader which clinched the win in the end by forcing Japs to reorganize & divert dwindling units to counter the new threat.
2021-10-18(D) Simon Staniforth vs Gurkha winMy second playing having cocked the VC last time. Early DR favoured the Gurkhas and saw 2 IJA squads KIA. Tanks Bogged on the wire slowing their progress. Gurkhas retreated in good order and kept their force in tact for the endgame avoiding CC until they had the ambush advantage. Went to the last turn with IJA needing to win final 3 CC which they couldn’t quite manage.
2021-08-19(D) Jacob Elmqvist vs Asad Rustum Gurkha win
2021-04-04(D) Simon Staniforth vs Gurkha winMisread the VC area so had 2 HS out of position in the end game. Nevertheless a chance to win but lost a crucial Melee in final British turn with mutual elimination and the remaining Gurkha units then went down in Japanese final turn Prep. Good fun the dense jungle throws in the occasional surprise with Straying in the MPh.
2020-06-07(A) Denis Leclair vs Claudio Gurkha winThe Japanese thought they had this one well in hand. On the final Japanese turn there was only a Gurkha HS that was within reach of the victory hexes (thanks to a fortunate Japanese sniper activation earlier in the turn) and the rest of the Gurkha OOB was pretty much decimated. The Japanese had a full squad and a HS within reach of the Gurkha unit. The Japanese HS was concealed, the full squad was not. I (Japanese player) advanced both units into CC. The Gurkha HS pulled off an ambush and was able to withdraw into a neighboring victory hex and I couldn't do anything to counter it. Victory to the British.
This one was a lot of fun!
