Overview:

The Japanese offensive against the Dutch East Indies was designed to gain control of the rubber and oil production facilities found on the many scattered islands in the region. The Dutch defense on Tarakan Island was organized by “Fronts” protecting the port area, the airfield, and the main oil wells at Pamoesian on the east side of Tarakan city. This area contained a series of built up strongpoints, centered around automatic weapons in concrete bunkers. The Japanese landed early on the 11th on the east coast of the island and aggressively pushed inland. By mid-morning, they had heavily engaged the line of strongpoints. . .

2024-08-05(D) Andy Bagley vs Josh Kalman Dutch winClassic scenario that has long been on my wish-list, and well worth the wait - a very close game! As the Dutch I set up a reverse-slope defence, planning to withdraw from the crest of the hill on my first turn. This plan was somewhat spoiled by the Japanese sniper shooting my best leader dead before I could move him, but I pressed on anyway and got most of my units back to defend the trench line and bunkers. From then it was just a question of how long I could hold on, and I just managed to do this by keeping the last bunker on the last remaining Level 2 hex. A slightly more aggressive Japanese attack with more banzais might have made the difference.
2024-01-28(D) Steven Cummings vs Tim Osborne Dutch win
2023-12-28(A) Eric Topp vs Kalle Widell Dutch winGame decided by last turn CC. My Japanese had to roll 8 to win - I rolled a 9
2021-05-30(A) Shane Pask vs Dutch winThe first shot of the game malfed the dutch HMG. It was instantly repaired but prep fire disrupted the Dutch 8-1 and destroyed the squad (ELR/CR). A green squad grabs the HMG and immediately jams it again. This time permanently. I broke the other Dutch leader on turn 3 who never rallied but I could not get any other result better than a pin. My 9-1 was mortally wounded on a 1MC. Needed to win 3 CC on the last turn. Could only win 1 (both of the others managed a CR but Dutch managed a kill)
2020-05-30(A) JP Laurio vs Japanese win
