I've done good so far in part cause WE can see 11 hexes! but making your line stay together is most important,OR there will be incursions threw the line between the tanks and are we ever lucky that the AI doesn't really pay attention to the facing direction of its units cause I try and leave my units faced where they last recieved fire from or the path that I think they'll most likely to approch from.
If the AI would have angled their fortifications and caves on the last battle to take advantage of the odd angled clearings and vistas in the topography they would have done better.

this is turn 9 the engineers have planted and where waiting their push!

As I said before all the japs will completely chase u down where ever they first spot so they won't really denigrate to the boarders of the map unless u have positioned anything near there that they could spot.

Get your brains around this Guys!! end of turn 9 the jap HQ saw my para drop and tried to muster its protective units in the local of the rear VH's and BEE LINED RIGHT INTO MY GUNS!! with a smoke screen and ALL!![X(]

Similtaniously,they renewed their efforts to straight line RUSH all the forward VH groups

South got hit during aswell

Still badgering south.

North and central zones a little quieter.

Making a probing advance to the north with 75mmGMC,and LRDG ChevyWA to look around

turn 12 end,and u wouldn't believe how well u can overrun Arrty suppressed troops in smoke!!

They finally lost it on turn 17,stupid buggers got more friendly fire casualties shooting at my surgeing tanks tryin to overrun,and hitting their own that are still in the hex with my tanks!!

Heres my rear VH's and I didn't even leave my HQ there, His objective was the central VH group

The northern front VH's which the japs ignored when they saw my units first emerge claiming the central group first.

Centre VH's where 85% of the battle took place,SEE GUNNY NO STATIC LINE THEY FOLLOWED ME!!

The south VH hexes where my second concern,not as much action or pressure but harder topography to see and cover around!

And now the Jap HQ VH's and my surviving Paratroops, the Jap off board Arrty must have done a HQ requested "danger close mission with everything that had ammo,on and off board because they got 75% casualties between turn 10 when they realized they lost HQ and turn 17 when the battle ended{ AI only flashed "japanese force morale broken 3 turns of this time frame}

Be it as this battle was a DV, and the fact that its not taking a 4 month trip at sea for us Col. Browning decided to shift theatres for a bit," It'll give the troops some different fighting experience,and dry us out from those bloody jungle rains!!"

Sorry had this ready earlier but went for supper
