Overview:

As part of Operation THURSDAY, the Chindits of 77th Brigade were airlifted deep into Japanese held territory in Burma to set up a stronghold, i.e. garrison of troops in defendable terrain which could then be used to interdict Japanese lines of supply. One such block was to be created near Hemu. As British troops advanced from their landing strip they made contact with Japanese troops on Pagoda Hill, a dominant terrain feature on the outskirts of their perimeter. Calvert, the brigade commander, realized that they must be dislodged. Seeing that the Japanese troops were not entrenched, Calvert ordered his men, "Charge you bastards, Charge!" What followed was a bloody hand to hand melee. . .

2025-01-31(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best British/Gurkha win1 hrsWell this scenario can be fun I think, but the dice were skewed. The British dice were very hot and the Japanese dice ended up being stone cold at the end. The Japanese banzai charged Hill 507 and managed to take it and capture the British MMG, but lost 6 squad for the effort. British reinforcements came on and charged and the Japanese rolled three 11's, broke all the machine guns and did nothing as the British walked up and annihilated them. The 10-3 with 3 x 4-5-8's was an unstoppable unit. I've never encountered before in ASL, but with 11 Morale for the 10-3, there were impervious to anything less than a 2 MC check. And I course didn't roll such a thing. Honestly, the 10-3 is too much and the 9 x Ghurka squads at the end is also too much. Otherwise a fun scenario.
