Overview:
As the British made a precarious and disjointed withdrawal in front of the relentless Japanese advance, many small actions were fought between the Bilin River and the easily fordable Thebyu River. The Bilin was the last barrier before the Salween River, and the Japanese had crossed it with ease, bringing great pressure on the scattered defenders. As the 48th Brigade was pushed towards Sittang, 1/3rd Gurkha Rifles made contact with leading elements of 33rd Division and their Burmese guides who were following the railway into Thebyu Chaung. A sharp action ensued and the Japanese were halted. . .for the moment.Attacker: Japanese/Burmese (2nd Battalion, 215th Infantry Regiment, 33rd Infantry Division and Burmese Independence Army)
Defender: British (1/3rd Gurkha Rifles, 48th Infantry Brigade, 17th Infantry Division)

| 2024-03-20 | (A) Stephen Stewart | vs | Mark Thompson | Japanese/Burmese win (VASL Log) | This is a Taxing scenario. Japanese ALMOST want the Ghurkas to engage them into CC...as if the Japanese start losing more CC than winning is dangerous. Conducted a few Banzai charges, every one turned South. The Right side I could've tried to bypass the units in the building but decided to move into them...came out ahead in points. Its a MAJOR ATTRITION battle. Once the enemy leaders get taken out of the game (for both sides) it gets REALLY Sticky. This is where the Japanese can take the advantage as they will just step reduce. But beware, too many Steps and you start Sloughing off points to the British Smoke is HUGE in this one...IF you can pressure the deep buildings, then it can unbalance the enemy defense. Be cognizant of the chance to Capture, as the British will not surrender. Vehicles are worth more than any building...a good source for those TH-Heroes to garner. Took 2 !! to take down one AFV... I wanted to give up super early with Botched assaults, but just stick it out....NO QUITTING on this ONE. Do NOT got Squad v HS into CC...you will lose overall. The Ghurkas have a -1 DRM in CC...you WILL LOSE. | ||
| 2024-03-19 | (D) Mark Thompson | vs | Stew | Japanese/Burmese win | The Gurkhas had a decent CVP/Building VP lead going into Turn 5 then showed what NOT to do with OT AFVs (IP Carriers) against the Japanese - both going down to TH Heroes or CC skillfully handled by Stew. Next time, park them in safe area and abandon with 248 crew/LMG. Fun game - lot's of seesaw action. | ||
| 2023-01-02 | (D) Richard Jenulis | vs | George Bates | British win | The Japanese pushed hard on the East side of the tracks. Turn 5 was the turning point. The British won three CC leaving the Japanese with only 4.5 squad equivalents, no leaders and the BIA troops. Not enough to take and hold enough buildings for a win. The game was called before the reenforcments came in. | ||
