Looks like a PTO type of map, what is the battle on?
Louis Mountbatten later described the Allied victory at Imphal and Kohima as "probably one of the greatest battles in history,... in effect the Battle of Burma.... [It was] the British-Indian Thermopylae."

Kohima is a field service depot, with stores, bakery, tennis courts, hospital and the district commissioner’s bungalow. It is 5000ft above sea level and the natives are called Nagas, an ancient head hunting tribe.
The Japs cut the road behind us and begin to throw in attack after attack. Positions were lost, recaptured and lost again and the perimeter began to shrink. Some of our companies experienced hand to hand fighting and grenades were being exchanged across the tennis courts.
Should be a fun HASL.

Thanks! Does sound excellent. Possible release this year?

Very much doubt that. Shaun has been working on this for quite a while and I don't think the CG has been playtested yet. He and Ivor were doing a test of the big scenario.

Seemingly it's not PTO terrain. The area was extensively farmed so no jungle and bamboo but brush and grain.
My estimate is next year.

Good in the sense that my wallet needs to cool a bit after all this ASL spending of late, if you know what I mean.
Have you seen what CH have lined up for this year!!!!!!!!
That makes it a real plus for me.

Well you know when you get diagnosed and sometimes you need a second opinion?lol! When you get a diagnosis, let me know, I think I have the same thing
Well here is my wife's diagnosis:
@ssholezim
Her second opinion is:
Dumbassism
But I counter with "Look at all those shoes!" and she just walks away, I guess we call it even then...lol

Yeah but she walks away in all those shoes which is what they are designed for while our CGs are just propping up the shelf.
