Description
They ran into Australian infantrymen of the 39th Militia Battalion, starting a three-month campaign waged in some of the world's most forbidding terrain.
An Australian militia brigade went up the trail to face the Japanese, who poured in reinforcements of their own.
Next the veteran Australian 7th Infantry Division, the heroes of Tobruk, plunged into the jungles and finally stopped the Japanese attacks.
While Australian soldiers fought on despite rampant malaria, Japanese troops hauled artillery shells over the mountains by hand and resorted to eating Australian prisoners of war.
Finally in September 1942 the Japanese withdrew from one of the war's most brutal campaigns.
The Kokoda Campaign is a complete boxed game in the Panzer Grenadier series.
It has 30 scenarios originally designed by Dave Cheever and re-worked by Matt Ward and Daniel Rouleau, plus a campaign game.
