Very difficult to game jungle warfare IMO as the rules weren't written to cater for it. <br /><br />The poor old Papuans - who are up against it anyway - are not given their historical advantage in the jungle. They had an uncanny ability to spot Japanese who were no slouches at jungle warfare themselves. Everyone 'acquired' on a D1 in thick jungle - I would have given the Papuans up to 2 or even 3 to acquire and automatically see anything in the jungle under 6" away. Outnumbered and up against Jap veterans - they need any help they can get!<br /><br />I've also been sent a beaut Photoshopped pic of the air attack from one of the other players which I will add to the post.<br /><br />Thanks again for the comments.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-6680055346323422072011-04-14T13:25:43.794+10:002011-04-14T13:25:43.794+10:00Excellent report once again, very inspiring stuff....Excellent report once again, very inspiring stuff.

I suppose that's a matter of catching them in the open, which they're not likely to do.Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-62212402565531367772011-04-14T02:38:31.883+10:002011-04-14T02:38:31.883+10:00Once again great board and report!
