BA- Japanese vs Chindits

Dave has finished his Chindit army so it was a chance for me to finally sue my Japanese. We played 850pts each.

I ran:

HQ
2x 10 man reg sections (LMGs)
2x Vet sections- 1 with a light mortar
MMG
sniper
Chi-ha tank

Dave ran a veteran force of
HQ
4x 8 mans ections- most had LMGs
observer
Med mortar + observer
light mortar
piat
ATR
MMG

Basically everything he could field to get to 850pts. We rolled up point defence and he defended.

Dave's chindits- very nice.

The chindits defended the right hand side of the table, spreading out their infantry to cover the three objectives.

 Turn 1 the chi ha advances- it managed to miss every time it fired all game!

 Veterna infantry advance.

 As do the chindits on the right, as they move to take up more advantageous positions.

 Two sections (1 regualr, the other veterans) support the chi ha on mt right flank.

 In thec entr ethe British prepare to hold the line.

The regular infantry got chewed up (3 men left) but the vets prepared to assault the infantry in the jungle at the bottom right corner.

 On the left the chindits awaited the imminent arrival of the flanking force.

 Ready boys.

 The Japanese commander assualts and kills the sniper team.

 The section in the centre prepare to reinforce the right objective.

 The flanking attack swarms over the objective (the carrier).

 The section from the centre moving to counter my troops about to capture the right objective.

 They assault my troops and in fierce hand to hand fighting the chindts are killed- though i am elft with 2 men left.

In the end we captured 2 out of 3 objectives. The chindits started out with a lot of dice but I managed to pick off a few smaller teams.

A fun game and was good to finally get a chance to use my Japanese- usually I'm facing Kent's Japanese with my Forgotten 14th force.
