Overview:

On March 6, 1942, General Sir Harold Alexander decided to abandon the effort to hold Rangoon and gave the order to evacuate all Commonwealth civilians and military units ahead of the invading Japanese. The fighting retreat headed north on the Prome Road. On March 7, lead forces of the retreating army reported that the Japanese had cut he road to Prome at Mile Post 27 near the village of Mithwephok. A recon unit patrolling north of Wanetchaung, a small village northeast of Mithwephok, was ordered to probe into Mithwephok and report the strength of the Japanese forces and assist in clearing the road for the retreating Commonwealth forces. Upon reaching the outskirts of Wanetchaung, the recon unit encountered Japanese resistance in the small village.

2019-06-22(D) Gordon Jupp vs Darren Orwin Japanese winScenario 2 of the mini CG. Tank Hunter heroes took out two Stuarts and the Commonwealth attack through the jungle on their right stalled badly leading to an easy Japanese win.
2019-06-20(D) Gordon Jupp vs Derek Cox Japanese winVery enjoyable scenario, my gun got lucky early on and took out two Stuarts; the game ebbed and flowed but a final Banzai charge and HtH meant the Japanese won by 1/2VP!
