Chain of command Kota Bahru airfield

 Our Singapore campaign continued with a Japanese invasion of the kota bahru airfield.  These amazing boards were built my my buddy Lee and will be pride of place in a upcoming game at the WA museum:

The fast moving Japanese surge forward seizing the early objectives.

The flame thrower takes out two of the bunkers as the Japanese continue to push towards the objectives at the back of the commonwealth line.

Thanks to multiple consecutive turns, the Japanese win the game. 

Despite a successful charge the Japanese forward charge take a battering and are pinned.

A bike is stolen- a sign of things to come.

Brutal hand to hand combat wipes out the commonwealth forward infantry 

 With the bunker out of action and the tank crew a little rattled from the flame thrower, the Japanese infantry surge towards the objectives.

The mortars kept the Japanese safe behind its smoke.

Despite the loss the commonwealth keep one of their prized push bikes.

And here we are prior to the battle beginning
