TWTWB:  Stand of the Light Horse*
*
Tomorrow When The War Began*
*
Date: May, 2020*
*
Battle Location: East of Cunnamulla, Queensland, Austrailia.*
*
Battle Type: Australian Defense v. Chinese Assault.*
*
Background:  The world has changed.  China has expanded it's presence in the South China Sea and destabalized regional powers.  The Phillipines, Indonesia and Vietnam's governments have fallen and a Chinese co-prosperity pact is formed.  Australia and New Zealand remain as the sole stalwarts of freedom. *
*
Chinese forces have staged an invasion of the east coast of Australia, supported by Indonesian incursions in the Northern Teritories.  Their current operational objectives appear to be to link their forces prior to making a thrust into New South Wales.*
*
A Chinese Motorized Rifle Regiment is advancing along Highway 49 towards the town of Cunnamulla.  Elements of the 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment, supported by a company from the 9th Royal Queensland Rifles hold a line east of the town.  You command that unit.  Your mission is to ambush this column and hold the line.*
*
You have limited artillary and air support.  The 1st Armoured Regiment has been pushed back from Darwin.  Support from rear elements of that Regiment have been requested but it is problematic they will arrive in time or at all.*
*
This may be the Last Stand of the Light Horse.*
*
Design Note:  The TO&E of the Australian units have been increased to give you a fighting chance to survive.  Australian units are set up in ambush positions, and unit engagement ranges have been reduced to allow penetration of the Chinese Forces.  Good luck!*
