Here's a recent Burma game, pitting an isolated company of Indian Paras against the tip of the Japanese advance on Kohima:

Holy crap.  Tough day to be Japanese...

Very nice report, figures and terrain, though...

Cheers!  Yes, I think that Phil was perhaps a little impatient to get to grips with the Paras!  lol

The MMG section firing on fixed-lines did a lot of damage.  However, if the Japanese had manoeuvred to the right, thus forcing the MMGs to switch to point-fire in order to defend themselves, they would have lost that fixed-lines template, which would have made things somewhat easier.  They also really suffered for the lack of effective fire-support.

Wonderful looking game and nice AAR.
Particularly like your MG fire template.
