Chiba-ken, the Boso-hanto, 1946. An allied invasion of the Japanese home islands has begun. The Canadian 6th Division, landing on Kujikura beach on the east coast of Japan, advance inland and hit a mountain range. This is all that stands between them, and Tokyo.
Most of the Canadian units, are made up of battalions which were to be used a reinforcements for Europe, but since May, 1945, they were retrained for use in the invasion of Japan. This force has a Universal Carrier, and a Vickers machine-gun armed jeep.
There is also a Churchill tank attached as a main gun ank.
