Designed to be played as Japan with C/C off*

In April 1944, as the Japanese forces were closing in on the city of Impahl, the 33rd Division, advancing from the south-west, got engaged in a savage and prolonged battle with Commonwealth forces in the Bishenpur area.*
*
One of the initial actions fought in this sector took place at Ningthoukhong village in May, 1944 as elements of the Indian 32nd Brigade probed south.*
*
THE SCENARIO:*
As the Japanese commander it is your mission to hold on to the village at all costs. The garrison is weak but includes two of the powerful 47mm anti-tank guns and some mortars. *
*
In addition, two infantry companies from the 214th Regiment are marching through the jungle to reinforce the defence. The only question is if they can reach the village before the enemy strikes in force.*
