Greetings,
I was Jonsin' to get in a game with some recently finished terrain and models that were made for Burma 44-45 scenarios.
I went with the Attack and Defend setup to allow me to use a troop of M3 Grants, a 47mm ATG and the scenery.
Brian and I were the Brits coming in with a platoon of infantry, a tank troop of M3 Grants and a pre game barrage. William as defender had a Japanese platoon of 3) 10 man sections and the 10 man grenade launcher section plus support to make up for the difference. He choose the 47mm ATG(with JL), 2) MMG teams, a AT team, a sniper, 2) minefields, and all the troops dug in. His position was a strong one on a rise with plenty of embankments. He made a real tough game of it

Despite some real bumbling and bad rolls on our part the Japanese Force Morale did go down to 3 finally. But the Brit infantry has no good thoughts about advancing now. There are still more actually Japanese defenders on the table than attackers. I lost 1 M3. Brian lost one section and had a lightly wounded JL and 4 or 5 other casualties. William lost the 2 MMGs and the ATG crews a couple of JL and a dozen men.
But I got to get new toys on the table so a win for me.

Great terrain.

That's some of the most convincing far east terrain I've seen. Well done.

Another terrific terrain set up.

It looks like my post probably ended up on another board… Great looking game.

Nice kit!

That looks great, what scale is that?

Well, the title says 20mm and that's what the figures are sold as. Chain of Command is closer to 1/100 in ground scale. And the tanks are 1/76. So take your pick.
