Overview:

The main battle in West Timor shifted to the village of Babau. On the previous day, Australian troops of Sparrow Force (all volunteers from Tasmania) threw Japanese Naval paratroopers out of Babau, preventing the paratroopers from seizing the Penfui airfield. Communication failures on both sides led to the Aussies vacating their newly-won village and numerous Japanese units conducting meaningless sweeps of the jungle. The next day, it was apparent Babau had to be re-captured and held by Sparrow Force to allow the Aussies an easterly retreat route from the overwhelming amphibious landing to the west. Fresh Japanese Naval paratroopers were landed in the morning and reinforces the area around Babau and began to serve as a blocking force against the Australians.
Attacker: Australian (Company B, 2/40th Battalion, "Sparrow Force")
Defender: Japanese (2 Company, Yokosuka 3rd Special Naval Landing Force, Eastern Detachment)

2024-11-09(D) nathan wegener vs Wes Vaughn Australian winDown to the last turn. Just bled too many Japanese to keep enough buildings. This was the only one of the set of 3 scenarios in the mini-CG that felt balanced.

2024-06-02(D) Tuomo Lukkari vs Victor Rosso Australian win[Imported from ROAR]
2023-12-16(D) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd Japanese winDay two of the campaign game found the Japanese giving up just enough ground and holding enough buildings in the end to claim victory. CVP losses were fairly equal with some big exchanges in CC. Looking forward to Day 3!
