Main Japanese force headed down the track while a smaller diversionary force attacked the 80m ridge from the east. The Aussies defended their positions vigorously, repulsing several Japanese attempts to engage at close range. The slightly lower Japanese morale was evident in these early turns because several units were disrupted and demoralized which stalled the Japanese advance.

Around turn 10 things started to unravel for the Aussies, do to their early success they held their positions a couple of turns too long, so when it was time to pull out and fall back it was too late, the Japanese had gotten two companies of infantry behind their lines and cut off the Aussies retreat.

The Aussie forces spent the remaining turns trying to break out but suffered appalling casualties trying to do it, with enemy forces pressuring them from the north and blocking forces to the south it was a slaughter but several platoons did make it off the map but not enough, about 10 steps, to satisfy the victory conditions.

FOW for the Aussies did not effect play much in this scenario, only a couple of turns were ended early due to FOW dice rolls but it did make you think or plan your moves.
