Bootcamp 1: Advance to Contact - The Matrix Games version of Rising Sun

Bevardsville, W of Buna, Papua New Guinea: [Hypothetical; Play as Allied] The Japanese bid to conquer New Guinea has come to a disastrous failure! They ran out of steam just short of their goal of Port Moresby and were driven back over the mountains to the north coast. Now, since early November, the flow of reserves and supplies has tapered off to a trickle. A noose has been drawn around what is left of their force. Many positions are being been isolated along the Solomon Sea, but the Japanese are desperate, and some fanatical leaders are still full of fight. Today it is your company's task to press forward toward Bevardsville and occupy Cardwell's Knoll.
