Overview:

While Major Oki’s men secured Tavoy, a sister battalion of the 112th Infantry Regiment made preparations to cross the Burmese frontier in strength. Before sunrise on 20 January, a platoon of Gurkhas garrisoning the border village of Miyawadi was caught unawares, and quickly scattered by a large force of Japanese. The surviving Gurhkas scrambled back to D Company’s main position atop hills some two miles to the rear. The Japanese followed. By mid morning, the enemy had enveloped the Gurhka company, and ammunition began to run low, then the telephone line was cut. The Commanding Officer of the 1st Battalion, 7th Gurkha Rifles, Lieutenant-Colonel White, cobbled together a relief force from three different units, and personally led it forward. The column ran headlong into the lead elements of the Japanese 1/112th.

2024-08-26(D) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd British winReplayed again with Dennis taking the Japanese. The British managed an effective fighting withdrawal using the dense jungle and keeping concealment. A couple CCs went the British way which both sealed the deal and prevented the Japanese from exiting any squads. The British went first. I think this is pretty hard if the Japanese don't go first, having only 5 turns.
2023-10-20(A) Stefan Fiedler vs Christian Lindberg Japanese/Burmese win
2023-01-06(A) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd Japanese/Burmese winMy Japanese made quick work of the Gurkhas on the left flank with some lucky ambush and CC rolls. The rest of the Brits tried falling back but were not able to eliminate any more Japanese troops. Fun little scenario, but I think it leans to the side that goes first...my Japanese got to go first.
