Also finished this one alongside the previous. Learned a lot about how one cannot just take an existing deployment (scen editor), copy it and redeploy and change map features...without redoing the entire scen file...what a drag. Huib?, Jason?...how can you trick a scen file to accept another OOB or map file?...anyway...
"Darkness at the Tjianten", 3 March, 1942
viz:
Leuwiliang, Java: After successfully thwarting the Japanese
attempts to cross the Tjianten River, all day on March 2nd, the
Allied "Blackforce" knew, if the Japanese remained true to form,
that an attempt to cross will be made in the night. From Allied
ABDA HQ at Bandung, virtually hysterical demands to hold at all
costs were being received by all radios in range...and that the
counterattack at Sabang had not gained the fruits expected, all
of this effecting morale one way or the other. The men of "Blackforce" were holding on but replacements were nonexistant and expected reinforcements were meager. Morale remained good overall, yet on the southern part of the line the provisional regiment of Malayan and Singapore survivors was getting edgy and very tired
of this game, they had seen it before. On the other side of the River, Japanese MGen Nasu is growing impatient and has received
urgent comments from higher up the command chain regarding "The
Emperor's Anxiety" and how it must be relieved and how the advance
to Bandung must not be delayed any more. First he orders the
2nd Recon Rgt to begin moving south toward Cianton, to look for
another crossing of the Tjianten. Then he orders Col Hiroyasu
to throw his 16th Regiment across the river. Before the full
light of dawn...Hiroyasu does.

The third of this series is in the works...just have to copy all of the features applicable from the previous scens onto my blank before I continue. Now that is a drag. Again...Huib, Jason...anyone?
