One of the best scenarios I've ever played. Do yourself a favor and set it up right now. It's a race to the hill in the beginning, the middle game will depend on how the initial skirmish on the hill ends, and the finish will bring it back to the hill.
The use of landing craft is very clever. If you hold back the British and wait for the reinforcements thinking you will storm the hill, you'll give the early control of the hill to the Japanese and they are hard to budge.
In my game the Japanese won the initial fighting, the British changed tactics and started going for the medal towns. They drew some Japanese off the hill to protect the towns, then the British reinforcements made a run for the hills and caught the Japanese off-guard a little bit. Then it came down to several back-and-forth turns fighting on the hill, with each side having several chances to win the game in the last several turns.
Absolutely fantastic, very clever and well balanced.
