KNIL "Molukken" from Rising Sun.

I have just finished KNIL "Molukken", a scenario for Rising Sun by Jeepster777. The scenario is set on Ambon, and simulates a Japanese invasion opposed by Dutch and Australian forces. I was not familiar with the engagement, but I so enjoyed the play that I looked for more information and found interesting stuff on the internet. The map I found put the island in the context of surrounding land masses. The simulation seems to give a feel for the actual event. I played against the AI although it is billed as a PBEM scenario. Last night I played the Allies, and this evening the Japanese. Both were tense, and very enjoyable games. The AI did not play the Japanese particularly well last night, but tonight the AI played the Allies very well indeed. I was in negative territory for the first fourth, perhaps third of the game. Negative, with 800 points representing a minor victory. I had a draw going into the last turns and made a major victory with one point to spare! This is a very exciting scenario to play against the AI with your Japanese.

Jeepster777, thank you so much for a fine scenario.
