Overview:

The Japanese U-Go offensive was barely two weeks old and already behind schedule. Task Force Yamamoto advanced northwards through the Kawbaw valley. After sweeping aside opposition in Witok, General Tsunoru Yamamoto split his task force into two detachments. The Ito Unit was sent northwest to Sibong aiming to block the road to Imphal trapping the 20th Indian Division in Moreh. Yamamoto's second force, the Mitsui Detachment, proceeded northeast towards Tamu to destroy enemy forces in the vicinity of Moreh. Meanwhile, the Japanese 15th Army ordered Yoshioka Battalion to attack enemy forces at Moreh from the rear.
Attacker: Japanese (Yoshioka Battalion with Mitsui Detatchment)
Defender: Commonwealth (Indian) (9th Battalion, 12th Frontier Force Regiment, 80th Indian Infantry Brigade, 20th Indian Infantry Division with A Troop, 3rd Carabiniers)

2026-09-14(D) Douglas Leslie vs Bongiovanni Japanese winFun scenario but feels pro-Japanese. The Commonwealth troops are forced to set up dispersed and Eric's Japanese just swept them aside in the early going. The defence stiffened around the western buildings but the defenders had taken too many casualties to allow them to stem the Japanese charge.
2026-09-06(D) Asad Rustum vs Rich Weiley Japanese winFun scenario. The Commonwealth conceded the game at the end of turn 4.
2026-07-30(D) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger Japanese win4.62 hrsAt first sight the Japanese task looks tough: capturing every building location (32 of them I think) in the Allied setup area. However, the Allied setup instructions force a widely dispersed setup, and the Japanese were able to sweep across the board with very little resistance, picking off isolated Allied units one at a time. I didn’t have a lot of dice luck, and even the two Allied tanks failed to shift the balance; one of them succumbing to a lucky shot whilst the Japanese lost none of their tanks. In retrospect I could have played it better, but it was still an enjoyable scenario.
