IMPORTANT: This battle recreates history, so the Australian defenders will lose



In honor of the fallen brave men of the 22nd Australian Brigade

---

At 2230 hours, the 5th and 18th Infantry Division of the Imperial Japanese Army commences the invasion of Singapore and assaults the northwestern part of Singapore.

The invading Japanese knew that they could not afford an expensive long drawn out fight. Having fought down the Malayan coast, they had lesser forces in reserve to commit.
Plus, all the surviving elements of British Malaya had fled to Fortress Singapore as a last stand.





Hence the Japanese used speed and violence of action to push towards Australian command and control. Tactics commonly employed by the Imperial Japanese Army were human wave assaults aimed to throw the defenders off balance. As a result, the Australians were constantly outflanked and new defensive lines had to be drawn up in haste.



Fight in these Key Locations:
1) Beach Defenses
2) Namazie Estate Rubber Plantation
3) 65th Field Artillery Gun Battery
4) 30th Field Artillery Gun Battery
5) Ama Keng Village
6) 22nd Australian Brigade HQ
