Overview:

The 20th Indian Infantry Division was advancing from the area of the Saddle between Ukhrul and the important road junction at Finch’s Corner. During this drive, the 14 Frontier Rifles occupied Sausage Hill. The Japanese 51st Infantry Regiment launched its second counterattack against the Indians. The Indians defended Sausage Hill tenaciously against an attack consisting of two determined Japanese infantry companies who employed both flamethrowers and incendiary grenades. Japanese mountain guns and trench mortars supported the attack with heavy fire.

2020-12-26(A) Maurizio Mai vs Fabio Mazzucchelli Indian winPlayed in PBM. As Japanese I put the GUNs so to hit the 2nd level of the two hills. The plan was to clean the first hill with the FT and then assault the second one. The ordnance fire was pretty useless during the whole scenario, while the FT and the squad was KIA before it was ever used. Without it the game was over pretty soon. Too many foxholes, scenario seems little pro-Indian but nice and enjoyable.

2014-10-13(A) X von Marwitz vs Chris Hofland Japanese winThis is a short 4.5 turn PTO scenario in which the Japanese need to clear two areas of level 2 hills of GO enemy MMC. The Indians defend the hill entrenched in 8 Foxholes with 8 squads, 1 HMG, 2 LMG, a 51mm MTR and a 76mm MTR aided by a 9-1 and 8-1. On turn 2 reinforcements arrive in the form of a 7-0, 1 squad + LMG. The attacking Japanese will set up (mostly) on the opposing hills. They have 10 squads, 1 MMG, 3 LMG, a 10-1, 9-1, 8-0 leader each along with a FT a 81mm MTR and a 75INF Gun. As this scenario is short, the Japanese have no time to lose whatsoever. Their Guns will likely set up on their own lvl 2 hills and try to neutralize some enemy forces on the opposing hills either by WP or HE. The infantry needs to close in quickly and overcome the defenders. The Indians will likely try their best to duel with the Japanese Guns by means of its own MTRs and HMG. I played the Japanese attackers in this one. Initial attempts to smoke in or harm the defenders with my Guns was futile. Having a LOS to some forward Indian Defenders allowed me to set up for a Banzai Charge to cover some ground quickly in the West while being able to avoid most of the enemy fire. With a bit of luck, I was able to kill two full Indian squads holding the frontal slope of the western hill early in the game. But the Banzai charge cost me some striped squads and a wounded leader. On the eastern side the approach is more difficult as the open ground to cross is harder to get across without smoke. However, I fared quite well there approaching towards the saddle between the two enemy hills. My Guns, however, did not manage anything during the entire game. No WP, I malfed the INF gun, then the intact MTR was critically hit killing the crew. I managed to get across the second crew across OG only to be CH'ed again and striped. Then broken by the enemy HMG. When I finally rallied and managed to recover the MTR, my crew was killed by the Sniper. Doh! This meant that I just could not get at the enemy HMG+458+9-1 in a foxhole without frightening exposure. A bright point was, that I was able to despatch the spotter of his 76MTR and later capture it. After having secured the western hill, the eastern one was still held by 3 enemy squads with one LMG and HMG the 7-0 and 9-1 leader and a HS with a 51mm MTR with one and a half turn to go. In turn 4 the Japanese BANZAI'ed again only to be mostly shot to pieces but did take out the Indian HS+51MTR and held another 8-1+457+LMG on lvl 1 front slope in H-t-H Melee. The defensive fire thus mostly exhausted, the remnants could move into position for the last turn. Of course, the FT malfed when put to use during AFPh of turn 4... Luckily, the defenders during Indian T4 were not very effective (but did not have many targets either). Japanses T5 saw my MMG breaking one of the 3 remaining Indian squads and some careful inching forward at first before the third BANZAI charge. Again, Japanese were killed, but my 9-1 made it into the foxhole of the enemy 9-1+458+HMG cancelling a Firelane in the process. This allowed me to move my "joker", a full 447+LMG adjacent without harm of them, taunting the other GO Indian squad to try FPF which they did not. AFPh broke the second Indian squad. So 2 of the 3 Indian squads would have to rout off the lvl 2 hill mass. It would come down to the last H-t-H CC: Japanese 9-1+447+237 vs. Indian 9-1+458 in non-concealment terrain. In some final act of butchery, the ongoing H-t-H at melee at lvl 1 killed everyone involved and the decisive H-t-H melee ended in mutual total destrction as well. Japanses win! All what was left of the Japanese OoB were 2 HS on the eastern and one striped squad on the western hill. The indian had left one CX 7-0 along with 2 DM'ed squads. Absolute carnage! The scenario was fun to play but it can be dicey due to its short duration.
