Some more IABSM last night as the British launched a probing attacking against Japanese pickets.
As ever the British advanced cautiously in two wings in order to try and confuse the Japanese but some effective handling of the Jap Blinds resulted in the left wing deploying earlier than intended. On the right wing, one platoon got caught up in the trees and failed to roll the needed dice to do anything useful.
Meanwhile the brave Japanese CO managed to get back to their nearest village and summon some light tanks.
Eager to get stuck in the British deployed their Boys AT rifle but failed to realise that the range was pitiful and instead tried their luck with the Vickers.
Meanwhile the Japanese deployed out of the jungle and managed to pin down a section or the right flank whilst slowing down another.
By the end of the game, the British had captured one of the bridge but with the Japanese tanks advancing and spitting lead, it would not be long before it had been lost.
Another great game of a IABSM..
