new RS Scenario
Gents,

Here is a new "old" scenario that has been waiting in the gutter just for the perfect time for the miasma to bring it to the surface and release it into the air. Some of the new units have allowed for it...and I must be that miasma...forbid.

Jason, please sir, there is still a need to be able to recreate a mass of fleeing and valuable civilians...

This is the first of a two part series covering the fall of southern Sumatra in February 1942. This scen is short and does not use the entire OOB...but the next one will. Still am working on doing the second...without any screaming noncombatants...yet.

Of note, here the 6th Hvy AA Group RAAF showed extreme daring do, by regimenting themselves into ground combat units (and shanghaing as many RAF, RAAF, and RNZAF pilots and groundcrew as possible)...and essentially held, as did the Dutch at the refineries...for a short period. Coms between the ABDA command were terrible and much fighting efficiency was lost but...se la guerre.

viz:

Air Assault on Sumatra

14 February, 1942
Palembang, Sumatra: The "impregnable fortress" of Singapore
is about to fall to the forces of the Empire of Japan, it is
obvious. Refugees from the British colony are attempting to
make their way, however possible, through the guantlett of Japanese
air and naval forces that are positioned between the Malayan
Peninsula and the Dutch East Indies islands. Ideally, the short
trip across the Malacca Strait to the island of Sumatra is preferable,
if, of course, some mode of transportation can be procured.
Many will not make it and, for those who do, Sumatra is not as
safe a haven as it seems to be. On the 14th of February, the
Japanese timetable for conquest calls for the invasion of Dutch
Sumatra to begin. The wholefully inadequate Allied defense forces
will have a rough time of it. Allied morale is plummenting.
Can the Japanese be stopped anywhere? By Anyone?

....This one is short and sweet...enjoy

Cheers
