I got Ian to play a Bolt Action game with me. It was a Point defense scenario. Ian attacked with a Japanese brigade
against my Gurkha battalion.
His objective was to take the trenches in front of a store house and capture the supplies. The British had to hold out for 6 turns. By the end of the game, the Japanese had rushed the store house which despite heavy hand to hand combat, the weight of Japanese numbers prevailed.
The Japanese kept getting pinned and holding. Other kept waiting to ambush the Gurkhas as they came out, however, they were not born yesterday.
One group of Gurkhas drew their kurkris and charged a hapless Japanese unit. The Nepelase tribesmen took out the sons of Nippon, but Ian was using his troops with fire and advance, so the brave hillmen were shot down. Finally, the remaining officers withdrew into the storehouse to fend off the Japanese with Webleys and MkII Mills grenades. With the Japanese pressing in with the bayonet, the officers went down firing. The supplies fell feeding the tummies of the young boys of Japan.
