Overview:

In late July, the Japanese South Seas Detachment landed on the east coast of New Guinea attempting to secure an overland route to the capital of Port Moresby. A mixture of Australian militia and local militia were sent to delay this landing force. One such unit was led by Captain Sam Templeton who had a unique background. A high-born veteran of the Spanish Civil War, he commanded a company of Australian militia in the opening of the Kokoda Trail campaign. At Oivi, Templeton fought a rearguard action which pitted the Australian militia troops, often derisively referred to as "chocolate soldiers" or "chocos", against veteran Japanese infantry.

2021-08-13(A) S. Slunt vs Brad Hunter Japanese winthe key to the Japanese victory in one word BANZAI !!!!!!!
2021-08-05(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck Australian winReally no mistakes from Matias and the japanese. The crucial rolls where on the aussie side though. Good japanese progress in the first turn and the second was a banzai. Some casualties for the japanese but things looked really bleak for the commonwealth troops. The next two turns where retreat in an orderly fasion. Gathering troops up at the hill and then came the second banzai against the huts. This time the fire ate away japanese soldiers but a few got the whole way and defeat seemed sure for the aussies but a heroic squad managed to kill a stack of japanese and the chances to get that last hut in the final japanese turn withered away. Awesome game, even and exciting but the dice where from down under.
2021-06-26(D) Eric Topp vs Kalle Widell Australian winKalle conceded on turn 4 when it seemed likely that the Aussies would "wall up" around the last hut hexes
2021-05-18(A) Eric Topp vs Al Palazzo Japanese winThe Japanese launched multiple Banzai Charges against the Aussies who couldn't inflict any casualties
2021-04-19(A) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd Japanese winThe Aussies broke and ran avoiding CC with the Japanese, but then they were never able to Rally. The Japanese were able to pull off a two-prong attack getting a couple of encirclements and preventing the Aussies from getting fully back into the huts. Gave the Allies the balance.
