Overview:

Thus far, the Japanese had not encountered any substantial resistance to their invasion of Burma. In fact, the Japanese had witnessed troops of the Frontier Force and Burma Rifles flee at the first sight of them. The Japanese came to expect this reaction. Today, however, the Japanese would face a different enemy, the Gurkhas. Without softening up the defensive position, the Japanese attacked an entrenched D-Company of the 1/7th Gurkha Rifles.
Attacker: Japanese (II/112th Battalion, 55th Infantry Division)

2022-11-27(D) Jeff B vs Elmo Menon Japanese winThis is really a one-board scenario, as the Japanese setup on the very fringe of Board 5b, and there is absolutely no reason anyone would ever get anywhere close to going east of this setup line. As such, with 7 turns to cross the width of a board, the Japanese can almost just AM and advance to accomplish their objective. But of course the Japanese would never do that, and Elmo kicked his attack off very aggressively, deciding to send most of his force right up the middle with a small outlying force to the south. The southern force faced some bad luck when a 447 was KIA by a sneaky LOS, and then their sole leader down there was brained by a sniper, pinning the remaining two squads. But things fared much better in the center, and he was able to nicely position his two mortars in such a way to effectively trap my 9-1 and MMG squad, who succumbed the next turn to CC after some even more aggressive moving by the Japanese. Had these moves not panned out the end result probably would've been much different. As it was, the net result of all this was a big fat hole in the middle of my defense, with only a couple dummy stacks making it look tougher than what it was, and I was on my heels for the rest of the game. On top of that my equipment started to break, with first a LMG and then a mortar. On Turn 4 I lost another -1 leader to more CC, with one of my guns getting revenge by taking out the leader and squad that did the deed. By this time he had taken the high ground, and there was little I could do to safely reposition my force. I started to whittle away his troops, but he still had far too many unstriped squads for my dwindling out-of-position force to dea with. When he finally dropped his superfluous OBA on my one HS guard in the southern part of the village he was able to grab a few more huts unimpeded. A concession could easily have been in order here, but I tried the silly end game rush to hopefully give me a small chance to hold out for his final turn. But key breaks on a couple units trying to reach one of the huts, and a bungled CC cost me any realistic hope.
