This game was really the last scenario in Len Tracey's Malaya 1942 mini campaign from the TooFatLardies special of a couple of years ago. It was the 10th game that we had done in this series. After #9 the original Aussie platoon under Lt Archie Cobb had been reduced to just a few men so this was beefed up with replacements to such a degree that it was now Green. This is really a bonus game as the Japanese offensive is behind schedule. The scenario involves a Japanese assault on a bridge over a canal. We made this into a 4 player game with 2 Green Aussies platoons and 1 Japanese infantry platoon and a big tank force of 3 Type 95s and 2 Type 97s.
We really love this series and had some great cinematic moments already.

Beautiful layout and excellent kit, though it would have been good had a proper camera been in the room!
