Overview:

After setting up strong roadblocks along the roads to Hlegu and Rangoon, 55th Division tasked the 143rd Regiment with securing the railway junction at Pegu. Commonwealth leadership could not allow this to stand, as the railway and roads north ran parallel and very close at Pegu and, most critically, were the only track leading to Prome and out of the tightening encirclement. with these terrifying facts in mind, the order was given to drive the Japanese from the town and secure a road to the north. A company each from the 1st Cameronians, 1st West Yorks, and 1st/7th Gurkha Rifles, supported by artillery, assaulted the Japanese holding approaches to the town.
Attacker: Commonwealth (British/Gurkha) (1st Battalion, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) 1st Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment, and 1st/7th Gurkha Rifles)

This is a fun scenario, but even with the balance this is very difficult for the British. The Japanese pulled back from one strong defensive line to the next each turn leaving on average only one defensive fire shot per turn. The pre game artillery did nothing and of course, the British did not bring any Smoke rounds with them. A competent Japanese player should win this scenario most every time.
2025-03-16(A) Tuomo Lukkari vs Alex Koestler Japanese winI could not get agressive enough attack and conceded in turn 7 when ran out of troops. This on requires very precise and agressive play as the British. This scenario saw the creation of not one but two Japanese heroes for my opponent, can cross off thet from my bucket list.

2024-08-24(D) Jeff B vs Steve Etzelmueller Japanese win6.67 hrsI wanted to set up a strong upfront defense, but the pre-game OBA scared me away from stacking or situating in jungle. Instead I used my HIPs to place two HS flanking the road, my gun next door, and the mortar on overwatch. As often happens, the threat of danger is often scarier than reality, and the OBA only hit one occupied hex, rolling an 11 in the process. The front line caused very little damage, but they clogged the works with their bodies and slowed the Commonwealth advance just enough. And thus would commence the PTO body block game, with the Japs deploying as much as possible, breaking and routing back to leaders to rally, rinse, and repeat. It was a rather pedestrian scenario, with the Commonwealth coming up just a turn short, but was certainly a highly enjoyable day as I got to spend it in the company again of a great group of FTF guys, this time playing my PBEM buddy Steve.
