Overview:
The last Japanese positions on Kohima Ridge to be captured were the tennis court and gardens above the Deputy Commissioner's bungalow. On 13 May, after several failed attempts to outflank or storm the position, the British finally bulldozed a track to the summit above the position, up which a tank could be dragged. A Lee tank crashed down onto the tennis court and destroyed the Japanese trenches and bunkers there. The 2nd Bn, the Dorsetshire Regiment, followed up and captured the hillside where the bungalow formerly stood, thus finally clearing Kohima Ridge. The terrain had been reduced to a fly and rat-infested wilderness, with half-buried human remains everywhere. The conditions under which the Japanese troops had lived and fought were described by several British sources as "unspeakable".Attacker: British (2nd Battalion the Dorset Regiment, and B Squadron, 149th Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps)
Defender: Japanese (58th Regiment, 31st Division)

| 2023-06-03 | (D) Mark McG | vs | Steve Lessing | Japanese win | As a scenario this has a lot of appeal, but the Victory conditions make it very pro-Japanese. JunoBear23 results (5 games) had 5 Japanese wins, with Japanese scoring at least 30 points,mostly 40+. Conversely, the Brits scored 1-8 VP. Highest British score was achieved by scoring a few CHs, and grabbing 2 Hill hexes. My view is that if the Victory Conditions were simplified to controlling (or even occupation only) of the most Level 2 Hill hexes on Hill 526, that would achieve the intention of the scenario (i.e. to recapture the hill). | ||
