Overview:

The Japanese offensive against the Dutch East Indies was designed to gain control of the rubber and oil production facilities found on the many scattered islands in the region. The Dutch defense on Tarakan Island was organized by “Fronts” protecting the port area, the airfield, and the main oil wells at Pamoesian on the east side of Tarakan city. This area contained a series of built up strongpoints, centered around automatic weapons in concrete bunkers. The Japanese landed early on the 11th on the east coast of the island and aggressively pushed inland. By mid-morning, they had heavily engaged the line of strongpoints. . .

2024-11-14(A) Paul Legg vs Matt Ellis Dutch winBounding First Fire - Mini Rd 2 I'm afraid I didn't give Matt a good game in this.
2024-11-14(D) Ian Morris vs Martin Mayers Japanese winNote to self : read the whole of the SSR. I didn't, and set up on the various level 2 hills, not realising that all but one were actually level 0 palm trees. D'oh ! Martin had taken most of the actual victory hill by the time he realised my mistake and pointed it out, at which point I conceded. Poor effort from me.
2024-08-05(D) Andy Bagley vs Josh Kalman Dutch winClassic scenario that has long been on my wish-list, and well worth the wait - a very close game! As the Dutch I set up a reverse-slope defence, planning to withdraw from the crest of the hill on my first turn. This plan was somewhat spoiled by the Japanese sniper shooting my best leader dead before I could move him, but I pressed on anyway and got most of my units back to defend the trench line and bunkers. From then it was just a question of how long I could hold on, and I just managed to do this by keeping the last bunker on the last remaining Level 2 hex. A slightly more aggressive Japanese attack with more banzais might have made the difference.
