Overview:
The campaign to push the Japanese out of New Guinea moved into the Markham and Ramu Valleys in 1943. The Australian 7th Division was tasked with the job of clearing these two strategic areas. As the 21st Brigade battled for high ground to the west, the 25th Brigade began to clear the Japanese from commanding heights overlooking the Ramu Valley and the Australian supply lines leading into the Finisterres. The 2/33rd Battalion had already secured the 4100-ft. feature in a daring night action which shocked the entrenched Japanese. Now the order went in for another attack on the next ridge on which the Japanese had dug in.Attacker: Australian (D Company, 2/33 Battalion, 25th Brigade)

| 2021-06-04 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | Australian win | I set up my Japanese on all the reverse slope except for the mortar and HIP HMG. Turn 1 and 2 were good for the Japanese. The remaining turns saw my Japanese hammered in close combats as the Australians moved on to the hill. I was finally overwhelmed and completely destroyed on Turn 6. Dan's attack went pretty much to form with just a few hiccups. Can't say I enjoyed the scenario. | ||
