Overview:

The task of slowing down the Japanese advance, so the rest of the Army could withdraw to Allanmyo, fell to the 63rd Indian Infantry Brigade. After heavy fighting, with high casualties on both sides, the defenders fell back to a small group of hills to await reinforcements. A platoon of Gurkhas was on the way. To deal with the stubborn Brits, the Japanese called for some heavy support. The support arrived with a nasty surprise: flamethrowers and demolition charges.
Attacker: Japanese (Elements 214th Infantry Regt & 33rd Engineer Regt, 33rd Infantry Division)

2024-05-16(A) Alex Ashton vs Martin Barker Japanese winAn excellent game that came down to a close combat on the last turn which the Japanese won.
Martin defended hills 507 and 502 in depth whilst lightly defending hill 526. As the Japanese closed in he fell back towards 502. By the end of the game he had lost a significant amount of his strength whilst the Japanese were able to mass their fire power just around the level two hexs of 502.
Nothing was settled until the last close combat which the Japanese won to take the game.

The game was a blast and it became very tense during the last couple of turns.
2024-04-25(D) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall Gurkha win6.5 hrsI was very concerned about a northern entry by the Japs, and strongly protected that side of the board. I was also very concerned about the proximity of the Jap setup area, and their ability to possibly pound away at my force and/or rush me with banzai. Therefore the remember of my force was set up in reverse slope, as slowing the Jap approach is paramount in my mind. These types of setups never make for the most exciting defenses. The Japs didn't test the mettle of my northern troops, instead entering the bulk of their force due east. Turn 3 saw all my dummies stripped away, as my reinforcements entered to bolster the southern hill. X6 proved to be a vital hex, and I was glad to have placed a FH and my 9-1 there. I probably should've tried to dig more FHs on Turn 1, but I did expand one of my reverse slope FHs to 2S. Fortunately for me on Turn 5 the northern Jap FT was lost, and I was able to pour a bunch of men into this position. When the FT on the other hill was lost on Turn 6 it increased my chances on that side as well. On the bottom of the turn I advanced into three key CCs, losing an ambush and my HS/leader in one, ambushing and withdrawing to a Level 2 hill with my 9-2 and his accompanying MMG squad in another, and tying up both his heavy MGs in a melee. When I was able to withstand a bunch of PB fire on Turn 7 and dish out some damage of my own, I was guaranteed of at least two GO MMC, and probably more.
2022-10-06(D) Richard Jenulis vs Greg Rodgers Gurkha winFun scenario.
2021-10-24(A) Stefan Fiedler vs jonas björkqvist Gurkha win
2021-06-24(D) Simon Staniforth vs Japanese winAlways a close game this one the IJA just had enough (including both FTs) to push the Gurkhas off the hill in the final turn
