Overview:

On 5 January 1941, following the report of a French attack on the Thai border town of Aranyaprathet, the Thai Burapha and Isan Armies launched an offensive on Laos and Cambodia. French response was instantaneous, but many units were simply swept along by the better-equipped Thai forces. The Thai army swiftly overran Laos, but the French forces in Cambodia managed to rally and offer more resistance. At dawn on 16 January 1941 the French launched a large counterattack on the Thai-held villages of Yang Dang Khum and Phum Preav, initiating the fiercest battle of the war. Due to poor co-ordination and non-existent intelligence against the entrenched and prepared Thai forces, the French operation was stopped and fighting ended with a French retreat from the area

2020-08-03(A) Gordon Jupp vs Andy Bagley Vichy winWorth playing just for the different forces involved! With rubbish tanks, B11 guns, Air support and OBA its a real roller coaster :) Andy was very unlucky with his weapons, numerous breakdowns, and the Vichy OBA was unerring accurate and effective....
2020-08-03(D) Andy Bagley vs Gordon Jupp Vichy winI agree with Gordon's judgement here. My aircraft did OK but his OBA was devastating and my one tank couldn't survive a multitude of low-odds attacks at close quarters. My other problem was that I had nowhere to hide in the village on Board 35, because huts are only a LOS hindrance, not an obstacle - so I moved back and got shot anyway! But a fun scenario with unusual forces for both sides.
2020-04-05(D) Dave Mareske vs Nathan Wegener Siamese winNathan and I decided to have another go at this scenario and switch sides. He did a better job attacking with his tanks, but the guns on both sides were a non-factor. Lots of 12s and 2s were rolled on both sides making for a very chaotic and unpredictable game. One memorable occurrence was BH broken squad that creates a hero and both the squad and hero are killed by the sniper. A very fun scenario
2020-04-05(A) nathan wegener vs Dave Mareske Siamese winA lesson in remembering to not start being stupid when you have your opponent beaten
2020-03-22(A) Dave Mareske vs Nathan Wegener Vichy winThis scenario is awesome. Lots of back and forth. My blue wave was able to overwhelm the hut village but my attack faltered on the other side of the board. A narrow victory.
