CoC - Malaya 1942 Mini Campaign Game 3 AAR

[Captain Darling]

Game three of our CoC Malaya 1942 Campaign is done and dusted! As the Japanese were stymied last time it is a replay of that scenario but slightly further down the road, so again we are playing a Probe game.

The Japanese and Australian deployments started equally but a flood of Japanese reinforcements had them outnumbering their enemy and successfully infiltrating the jungle around the Aussie right. The Aussie CO tried to distract the Japanese launching an attack on the Japanese left supported by a mighty Lanchester A/C! This surprised the Japanese but they correctly persisted with their advance and under extreme pressure the Aussies withdrew forestalling a total Japanese victory.

So the result; a Japanese Victory and an Australian Losing Draw!

The full AAR with more pictures, OOBs and Campaign updates is on the TSOG Blog...

Looks great, thank you for posting the AAR, the pacific theatre is on my wish list. I particularly like the very Japanese sniper positioning.

Great AAR and pics on the blog. Sometimes the jungle is your friend, the enemy can't see you slip away...

Great AAR! Thank you!

Thanks gentlemen, the next game is scheduled in four weeks, Scenario 3 in the campaign gives the Aussies some opportunities if they win so their approach will be interesting!
Cheers!
