The Thousand Yard Stare: Peleliu, Sept. 17, 1944*
*
Date: September 17, 1944*
*
Battle Location: Peleliu, Palau Islands*
*
Battle Type: USMC (Assault) vs Japan (Defend)*
*
Description:
*
Chesty Puller's First Battalion is to lead the way up "Bloody Nose Ridge", the high ground on the island of Peleliu. The ordeal is even worse for the Marines than Guadalcanal. The ridge is composed mainly of coral, and is filled with sharp rises and crevices. As they are moving up through the razor sharp coral, on Marine after another is being cut down by enemy fire. Casaulties are horrendous! At times the fighting has been hand to hand, and each time a Japanese body rolls down the ragged slopes, a cheer erupts from below.*

Fun scenario but I found some minor map errors.

46,27 should be a wooden bridge but it is a ford.




11,27 and 14, 27 should be a stone bridge but they are shallow water hexes.


Please keep these coming.

Same problem in the next scenario (Hankow). The wooden bridge is coded as a ford.

[Oche]

Yes, had some trouble with the editor there and preferred it to make it that way. The bridges are crossable in both scenarios though.

Plantation Waltz, Jan 1942*

Battle Location: North of the Slim River, Malaya*
*
Battle Type: Japan (Assault) vs India (Defend)*
*
Description:
*
The British Army had been thrown back form it's defensive positions in northern Malaya, where it was sharply defeated by Japanese armour and superior staff operations. The British attempted to implement a delaying strategy, retreating slowly in the direction of Singapore. 12th Brigade of 11th Indian Division dug into defensive positions along the Trunk Road north of the Slim Plantation. This area laid in defile between hilly jungle terrain, assumed to be impenetrable. 42 Regiment, supported by armour from 6 Tank Regiment, chose to implement the same tactics that had defeated the British to the north. Two flanking columns were detached to either side of the Trunk road, and sent around the enemy defensive positions, while the remainder of the attacking force drove against the Colonial and British troops in a holding attack. The British, taken hit from all sides at once fell apart.*
