Overview:

After a day on continuous action and movement in response to the Japanese invasion of Timor, the bulk of Sparrow Force was concentrated at Tarus, 10 miles east of Koepang and 5 miles west of Babau. Between Sparrow Force and its supply head in central Timor were 20 miles of road and a large force of Japanese paratroopers at Babau. The Australians knew they had to clear Babau if Sparrow Force was to remain a cohesive fighting unit. Therefore, at midnight on 20 February, the commander of Sparrow Force ordered two reinforced companies of the 2/40th Battalion to advance the next morning against the Japanese in Babau. At 0530 hours, the companies moved forward but made slow progress due to weariness and the occasional sniper. By 1030 hours, the companies were 900 yards from the village and given a rest until midday. The Australians then moved forward for a third fight over the village with the Japanese.
Attacker: Australian (B Company, 2/40 Battalion, Sparrow Force)
Defender: Japanese (2nd Company and HQ Company, Yokosuka 3rd Special Naval Landing Force, Eastern Detachment)

2023-11-10(A) nathan wegener vs Scott Martin Australian winDown to last turn CC - needed to tie up the 5th building and there weren't enough Japs to stop me... got an ambush and took the 5th building outright. Very tense game back and forth for the last 2 bldgs.
2023-10-23(D) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd Japanese winAustralians need to move fast. Dennis tried to keep as much concealment as possible which slowed him down. He also went for the five building locations which proved difficult un-seating the Japanese from all the buildings. Early on the Japanese sniper recalled two of the carriers and a TH-H took out another one. The Australians had good results in CC throughout the attack, just was not enough.
