Overview:
The British launched Operation Ironclad on 5 May in order to prevent the Japanese from using Madagascar as a submarine base. They landed on the Vichy French occupied island, and surprisingly met little to no resistance. Further inland, however, the French resolve stiffened. The 2nd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, now 6 or 7 miles inland, came under fire as they approached Col de Bonne Nouvelle. The Fusiliers found the Vichy French defending a rocky hill fortified with trenches, pillboxes, and wire, as well as artillery pieces that guarded the gateway to the port of Antsirane.Attacker: British (Reinforced elements of the 2nd Royal Welsh Fusiliers)

| 2012-04-24 | (D) Andy Beaton | vs | Jeff Wasserman | British win | I was at a loss about how to stop the Valentine tanks. I eventually got one in CC, but not before the French defence was destroyed and the Tetrarchs just drove on through. | ||
| 2011-03-11 | (D) Ian Willey | vs | Martin Barker | Vichy French win | First win against Martin. The scenario was fun as well. Mobile defence and a couple of stop points. The hills make attacking slow so need to start the attack early. |
