RE: RHS Test 9A: 19 March 1942: Frontline Assaults in AUS!
The Aussies like to put armor forward - and when the enemy enters
the hex - run away before the attack can go home. Today - near
Bundaberg - where there is an unusual two hex front line both with
main roads - both front line armor units were pounded by Japanese
bombers - both failed to retreat - and both were attacked by ground
forces while they were in movement mode. That, of course, cost them
a lot of vehicles.

the hex - run away before the attack can go home. Today - near
Bundaberg - where there is an unusual two hex front line both with
main roads - both front line armor units were pounded by Japanese
bombers - both failed to retreat - and both were attacked by ground
forces while they were in movement mode. That, of course, cost them
a lot of vehicles.

RE: RHS Test 9A: 19 March 1942: Contesting the approaches to Brisbane!
Note that the Allies detected half the Kiddo Butai in the Indian
Ocean near the Northern (Western in real world terms) tip of
Sumatra. It sank the remaining allied surface vessels in the area.
Submarine detections today and previously indicate a major gathering
of surface vessels at or near the Andaman Islands - including one
huge one sunk today (with troops on board).

RE: RHS Test 9A: 26 March 1942: The Battle of Marysborough!
In spite of excessive aircraft losses, Allied air power succeeded in
causing two IJA divisions at "the tip of the spear" to turn around -
so only a significantly supported brigade invested Marysborough for
today's attack. Again, in spite of excessive air losses, Allied
bombers did some damage to that unit. More casualties were caused
by naval bombardment. This, combined with fortifications, prevented

causing two IJA divisions at "the tip of the spear" to turn around -
so only a significantly supported brigade invested Marysborough for
today's attack. Again, in spite of excessive air losses, Allied
bombers did some damage to that unit. More casualties were caused
by naval bombardment. This, combined with fortifications, prevented
the Japanese attack from achieving decisive odds, so it failed.
