Brilliant! Really exciting. I didn't expect that outcome at all.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Here we go again. The Japanese return to Map 3 after being rebuffed in no uncertain terms by the doughty Malays in that last game. Can they do better this time around? The full AAR is here: https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2020/11/last-stand-on-opium-hill-scenario-3-one.html

We now reach the final map of the campaign and a last ditch defence around the opium factory that gives the hill its name. While it may be backs-to-the-wall for the Malay Regiment this attack will be no pushover for the Japanese who have a lot to do. Quite a game in the end and you can read the full AAR here https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2020/11/last-stand-on-opium-hill-scenario-4.html

Nice figures, nice scenery & a rip-roaring fight. What more can you ask for?

The Japanese make a second attempt to take the Opium Factory, this is probably going to be their last chance. Failure will hand the doughty men of the Malay Regiment a campaign victory so we have everything to play for. The first Japanese attack ended rather badly, can they fare better this time?
