Overview:

The Malayan Campaign was nearly complete with the goal of Singapore just a few short miles away from the Japanese lines. Knowing that further resistance on the mainland could result in troops being cut off, the commander of the British force in Malaya ordered a withdrawal across the causeway crossing the Singapore Straights from Jahore to Singapore Island. Elements of the 8th Australian Infantry Division and the remainder of the tattered Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders formed a rearguard while troops filed across the causeway. . . . . .Board 45 was designed for this action! Australian and British troops, desperate to get back to Singapore, face waves of Japanese troops determined to cut them off. With all of those straight roads, firelanes will come in to play, but will that be enough to stop the Banzai charges?

2023-08-14(D) Camille Garek vs Florian YVIS Japanese winVery dynamic game. A race between two forces. Original and fun.

2022-08-15(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval Japanese winUsed Japanese balance. A couple of Banzai charges was too much for the Brits to absorb. More than enough exited for clear win for Japanese.
2021-09-26(A) Shane Pask vs British / Australian winBrits performed a great withdrawal. My one Banzai ended with the loss of the leader (but killed the target squad - one of only three British squads eliminated for the game). I would like to blame the dice (Turn 3 I lost 1 squad to KIA, 1 to a K/1 from 2 residual, 2! CR/ELR from 1MC) but I think my tactics were more to blame - I got no benefit from the smoke I used or Banzai charges and could not get behind or even catch the retreating poms. The Jap sniper refused to activate despite several chances. The Aussie sniper fired twice but missed the 9-1 to reduce his MMG crew and a mortar squad instead. By the end of British turn 5, they had 24 VP poised to exit. I had only 34 VP left on the board (including 2 broken HS out of range) and no one in position to inflict further casualties. Still a fun game.
