Scenario #10, Slim River, is one of my favourite battles from the Fall of the Liongate scenario pack for I Ain't Been Shot, Mum.

Taking place on 7th January 1942 (i.e. a month after Pearl Harbour), the Japanese have been hammering down the centre of Malaya, smashing most British Indian troops aside, and slowed only by the efforts of some Gurkha regiments and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. To continue their advance, they launch a sudden thrust down the single road that leads to the village of Trolak, their objective being the bridge there over the otherwise impassable Slim River.

This was a cracking game that literally came down to the last turn of the card. Click on the link below to see all:

A magnificent contribution to TMP. So very well presented and a visual feast.

I am a fan of the Malaya Campaign and like what you have done very much. Thanks for sharing.
