Battle of Wong neung Chong Gap, Hong Kong, December 1941

Ian and I played a Bolt Action Envelopment scenario.

The Commonwealth forces consisted of a Gurkha Battalion, The Royal Rifles of Canada, The Winnipeg Grenadiers, 2nd Battalion, Royal Scots.

The Japanese troops were made up of 1 gun, 8 tanks, and 4 Regiments from the () Division.

Ian advanced his Japanese troops towards the Commonwealth positions. He used fire and advance to effect, however, the Canadians and Gurkhas kept hurling grenades at the advancing Japanese. They in turn, began to lob their own grenades, taking out the sole bren gun in the Commonwealth force.
The Canadians got their own back by taking out the Japanese machine-gunner. The rest of the battle was between rifle and sub-machine-guns and grenades.
