Historical Background:
During the nights of 19th and 20th of February 1942, units of the 228th Japanese regiment landed at Dili, on Timor island. Allied troops (Sparrow Force), were composed of both Australian units entrenched at Dili airfield and scattered on the neighboring hills, and Dutch troops defending the town.
After some confusion (Japanese troops were mistaken for Portuguese reinforcements), the Dutch opened fire on the attackers but were eventually forced to withdraw to the South. On the airfield, the Australian platoon resisted the Japanese assault and inflicted heavy losses but were outnumbered by the attacking force. They fought until first light and then withdrew to the hills to continue guerilla warfare on Timor Island.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
