Japanese troops landed in northeastern New Guinea in July 1942, and quickly began a march over the Owen Stanley Mountains toward the anchorage and airfield at Port Moresby on the southern coast. Australian troops plunged into the jungles and finally stopped them in one of the war's most brutal campaigns. THE KOKODA CAMPAIGN is a complete introductory boxed game in the Panzer Grenadier series based on these battles, your gateway to the dozens of books and games and thousands of scenarios that make up this fascinating game series. Pick up the box, and join the adventure. |

Ignore the "no units in hexes adjacent to any other unit" condition for the Australian 2/31st and the 2/33rd. The non-adjacency condition still applies to the Composite 2/14 and 2/16 Battalion. (Daniel Rouleau clarification) (rerathbun
