new RS Scenario - Mr. Guberman - 07-18-2008 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 Curt RE: new RS Scenario - Mr. Guberman - 07-18-2008 Uh... forgot the attachment: Air Assault on Sumatra ...sometimes I am like a monkey trying to figure out a math problem...
