It's been awhile.

I recall using a couple WACO's to drop in 2 Stuarts both miraculously survived the landing on the small clearing LZ, but alot para got hung-up in the jungle and suffered casualties.

The Stuarts weren't necessary (actually HT's or even a jeep would have worked just as well) but helped in the end to capture the last flags as the amount of turns is low.

Don't want to give away too much and be a spoiler

I actually bought only the suggested forces, so a company of paras. I didn't make it to the village, even if running at full speed. The only way may be to run a disorganized group of soldiers into the village, but then what's the purpose of playing such a map?

Also, I've started the second scenario, and it gets even worse. You have to attack a village, closing by in trees (so you get 2 hex movement at best), on a slope (the village is lower from your starting position). The problem is that even if it's marked as a Meeting Engagement, after the 2nd turn the Japs control almost all the VHs. You engage them under heavy MG and sniper fire, not to mention that you are supposed to engage them from distance where your fire is almost uneffective against the iron forged Japanese troops.
