Overview:

The defense of Prome, a major population center along the road leading to Mandalay from Rangoon, was under the command of Brigadier David “Punch” Cowan, and his division was deployed covering these routes. Reports soon reached his HQ that a large enemy force was moving along the railway to his east headed directly at 48th Brigade defending Hmawza. If the enemy were to drive the 48th Brigade from their positions this would cut off Cowen’s division, and he ordered attacks to prevent this. Two battalions, one from each of the 16th and 63rd Brigades, were ordered to attack southward to Shwedaung. About a mile north of Shwedaung, 4th/12th Frontier Force Regiment was met along their march by over 1,000 insurgents of the Burma Independence Army (BIA) led by Japanese officers. A rough fight was joined.
Attacker: Commonwealth (Sikhs) (4th/12th Frontier Force Regiment with Light Armor Support)

2024-11-18(D) Douglas Leslie vs Eric Partizan Eric Axis (Japanese/BIA) winFun scenario with an unusual Axis OB comprising partisans backed up by Japanese SW and leaders. Eric dug himself in to a VP hole early on when he stopped an unsupported carrier too close to a Burmese held building and it was duly despatched by a MOL attack. Two more vehicles went down to ATR fire and the Commonwealth troops were now toiling. On the plus side from their point of view, they generated seemingly unlimited quantities of smoke The downside was that the mortars couldn't put smoke everywhere and the Burmese fire was deadly as I seemed to be rolling threes and snake eyes at will. This proved to be too much for the attackers to cope with and Eric conceded on turn 4.
