another new RS ME 02/03 scen - Mr. Guberman - 07-19-2008 Fellows, Here is a third scen, with the OOB successfully recoded to JTCS unit codes. This is the first of a series of Java campaign scens. Here was the first missed opportunity for the Dutch to have "slowed" the initial Japanese breakout from the northeasternmost beach head area. ...it's a short, sharp one... The Pamarajan Bridge viz: 1 March, 1942 North of Pamarajan, Java: Landing in the dark hours of early March 1st, on the northeastern point of the island of Java, at Merak, Japanese LtGen Maruyama's 2nd Division began it's dash eastward to capture the bridges on the Ulong River. After blowing through the thinly dispersed screening forces the Allies had deployed on the coast, by daylight, the Japanese 2nd Recon Regiment raced through Serang toward the River. North of Pamarajan, the Dutch Rangkasbitung Defense Force, under Cpt List, prepared to blow the Pamarajan Bridge. Already demoralized, the Allied troops knew that it must be done in a hurry, but the rain and general disorganization had made it difficult even to get men to the bridge. Just as they arrived, so did Japanese Lt Shiraishi's Left Advance Group of the 2nd Recon Regiment. Cheers Curt
