[NOTE: This scenario was originally created by general Hoth, one of the best, if not THE best scenario creator on the old Forumini. I humbly post it here for you to enjoy. I'll post some pics from the original post after work today!]
South of Yenangyaung, Burma, 18th April 1942.
Finding it impossible to protect the oil fields at Yenangyuang, General Slim orders their destruction and prepares a fall back towards better positions. However, the Japanese, with their 215th regiment, are already planning to block that retreat and succeed in cutting in half the British troops. Nevertheless, Slim gets the approval to get the support of the Chinese 38th division to help him out. Supported by C squadron equipped with Stuarts, the Chinese move out to open the way for the retreating British troops...

Map: F1
- The half map featuring F1 is North, the Japanese set up area. The Japanese can set up anywhere on this half but not on hexes shared with the other half.
- Replace the hill hexes on the British/Chinese half with forest hexes. All jungle hexes are considered forest hexes.
- note the marsh hexes are in play, so are the half hexes on the edges of the map.
- the last road hex on the Japanese side is a city hex representing the approaches to the bridge that the allies are looking for.
Special Rules:
- stacking is 3 units per side per hex, only one vehicle .
- a bunker can hold up to two units.
- capturing a British tank:
-during a Japanese close assault against a British vehicle, if the result is disrupted or damaged the Japanese player can capture the vehicle. if it is damaged, the damaged token stays. if it is destroyed, well... the tank is destroyed!
