Next Up - Battle for the Sittang River Bridge Feb 1942
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2015 10:00 am
Hey Guys ,
I have cast the die. I will develop the Battle for the Sittang River Bridge over 21-23 Feb 1942 , which features an ascending Imperial Japanese Army pushing hard through Lower Burma for the Port and Industrial City of Rangoon.
The ground forces are relatively small , about a Division on each side.
There are few armoured forces , so Infantry and Artillery should rule the day , given effective supply management , and air cover over transportation routes.
The Airframe mix will be , I hope , interesting and with a character of its own. No Spits , Hellcats , Zekes or Franks here. The commanders must depend upon the agile Nate , the redoubtable Buffalo and the dependable Hurricane , along with Audaxes , Sonia's and Lily's.The American AVG will also have its presence felt.
There will be some naval activity as well , the degree yet to be determined.
I am looking forward to a somewhat smaller scale than Parkers Crossroads , and the Tropical sun will be nice after the bonechilling cold and dense clouds of the Ardennes!
OOB Development has begun , and I will post the bones of it soon.
