Aussie Assualt. Bolt Action Pacific game.

John and I got together at his place for a game of Bolt Action.
It was my Australian Jungle Division troops vs John's Japanese.

The Japs were dug in and the Aussies had to clear them out down to the last man as the little buggers were well dug in and would not surrender.

The Aussies stormed the beaches and found the going a little tough at first coming under some heavy fire by the Japs. Also the Japs launched some fanatical Banzai attacks wiping out the Aussie HQ early in the game, but not before the Aussie sniper took out the Japanese CO.

In the end the Aussies managed to clear the area down to the last two Japanese soldiers.

It was an Aussie victory but at a high cost.
