Had my play of the Insurava scenarios been linked, days 2 and 3 would never have happened, but I had a bit better luck on the Day 3 scenario. I did pretty much the same things, but had more Australian troops of the better quality, and there were several single platoons that held on much longer than they might have. The Japanese wave walked down the east half of the board, taking the southern-most village hex there, and when they turned to try to take the central-western village, one enterprising Australian LT and his Infantry platoon dared to walk over and take it back, at least for a few turns. It had the result of tying up 2 stacks of Japanese troops assaulting and taking back the village again that otherwise would have been working their way towards the southwestern village hex. As it was, Insurava fell again, but survivors fell back slowly enough and fought hard enough in assaults and direct fire that the Japanese were never seriously close to taking the central and southern village hexes of the western half of the board. Instead, the Japanese lost 21 steps, more than enough to give the Australians the minor victory. I will certainly be working on these scenarios again to try to sort out why my Australians didn't hold on better.
