The game began with the Japanese aiming to push down the trail supported by the tanks, with a smaller force moving along the coast to get behind the defence. Over the first half dozen turns the Australians traded ground, however one Japanese platoon managed to get around the defence and eventually captured a town hex. The defenders retreated into the remainder of the town, and comfortably withstood assault attacks. In the end, the Aussies had a marginal win by one VP due to the sole step loss by the attackers. A good little scenario.
