CoC Malaya 42 Game 9 The Roadblock
Posted: Thu May 18, 2017 12:22 am
So onto Game 9 which was one of the more cinematic games that I've played.
The scenario requires the Aussies to take out a Japanese roadblock to enable their retreat to continue and transport out casualties and heavy equipment.
William had the remains of Cobb's platoon further reduced to 15 men Cpl Keegan is acting pla sgt. John brought the reduced platoon of Lt Tinline back with 22 men total.
The Aussie did have a lot of support points to work with-Cobb's platoon starts at a minus 6 compared to a standard Japanese platoon of +1. So the Diggers went with a pre game barrage, a FO for 3" mortars and two demo teams to be sure to take out the block.
They would start on the far edge from the road.
I was the Japanese player and went with 2) MMG teams in entrenchments and 2) Chi Ha tanks. I just finished them so they had to get on board And this would give me equal points to the Aussies. This was a fresh platoon since the one in the last game had such high casualties. Rikugun Ebina Kano and Gunzo Sawanda Yoshiyuki were the leaders.
It ended in quite a blaze of action with not many survivors for a Game 10. But Cobb will be back with the green Diggers to hold the bridge.
