British forces were falling back around Toungoo, Burma and the mounted Frontier Force, 1st Burma Brigade was patrolling in the area around Toungoo. Led by Captain Arthur Sandeman the unit approached a hill that appeared to have Chinese laborers on it. With a shock, Sandeman realized they were actually advance force of Japanese busy entrenching on the hill. Sandeman would signal for a charge and his Burmese cavalry would charge across rice paddies and sufferer horrendous losses to the veteran Japanese infantry.
Attacker: British (Mounted Column, Frontier Forces 3, 1st Burma Brigade)
The Japs decided not to enter their reinforcements since he was in good shape on the hill. Turn 4 for the Brits started with half forces prep-firing to cause some stripping and other have rushing adjacent around the hill. Japs malfunctioned both the MTR & HMG. A couple CC tangled up in Melee. Turn 5 brought the remainder of British to surround all sides of the hill with all but one squad in Good Order to Advance with overwhelming odds for the win in CCPh.

My British got wiped out. By Turn 2 - Dan's mortar had sowed carnage on me as I staged into the jungle. His dice were super hot and mine were like normal (bad). So close combats went to the Japanese. I did launch one cavalry charge which was devastated and crushed by Japanese. By a miracle I did eliminate a squad on the hill...but died also in the process. Good scenario...but painful for me!!
