Overview:

There were believed to one thousand Japanese defending the Duropa Plantation and two Buna airstrips, but the Australians now had a trump card: tanks. After sunset on the 17th, the tanks moved forward under the cover of a mortar barrage that hid their approach to ready themselves for an attack on the next day. The Australian 18th Brigade, a veteran of Tobruk and Milne Bay, would provide the infantry support. Being veterans, some soldiers did a thorough night reconnaissance of the Japanese positions before the attack scheduled for the next day. At 0650, every gun and mortar available shelled the plantation. Ten minutes later the barrage ceased, and the tanks and infantry moved off.
Attacker: Australian (2/6th Armoured Regiment and 18th Brigade)

2025-06-28(D) Paul Legg vs Jonas Bjorkqvist Australian winFriday Night Fight - A close run thing Jonas where as he just managed to get the 7VP of imfantry of together with 2 Stuarts in turn 4. There were no more GO infantry left behind. One of the Stuarts survived a 1,1 CC RF as I rolled a 5 on the subsequent die roll.
2025-06-27(D) David Garvin vs Stuart Brant Japanese winAs part of FNF club. The oddest thing happened. I declared a banzai with a striped squad and leader. DFF reduced the squad to a HS. Further fire broke the hs. Even more fire caused the HS to roll a MC. Naturally I rolled 1, 1. Result? Berserk! So, the Banzai moved in, followed by the Berserker (that's how we played it). The defender failed his FPF MC and that pretty much reduced his available EVP to just above the 7 required to exit. Also, the trench line was pretty much intact, so we called it after 3.
Thank you for the game!
