Borneo Campaign 1945

The Borneo campaign of 1945 was the last major Allied campaign in the South West Pacific Area during World War II. In a series of amphibious assaults between 1 May and 21 July, the Australian I Corps, under Lieutenant General Leslie Morshead, attacked Imperial Japanese forces occupying the island. Allied naval and air forces, centred on the U.S. 7th Fleet under Admiral Thomas Kinkaid, the Australian First Tactical Air Force and the U.S. Thirteenth Air Force also played important roles in the campaign. They were resisted by Imperial Japanese Navy and Army forces in southern and eastern Borneo, under Vice-Admiral Michiaki Kamada, and in the north west by the Thirty-Seventh Army, led by Lieutenant-General Baba Masao.

As the Australian I Corps Commander you must secure a foothold on the island and ensure the surrender of all Imperial Japanese garrisons. Reports from the OSS indicate that there is to be a special kind of 'bomb' trialled on Japan! You must secure the island in time for the glory of Australia!

As Commander of the IJA you must ensure that your men continue to fight no matter the cost! NEVER SURRENDER! A radio transmission from the emperor was received last night. The Emperor said "We have invaded the United States of America and are in control of the White House. The American President is now our hostage and we have requested for the unilateral surrender of the United States and all of her Allies."

Win Conditions Allied Forces: Capture Pulau Island

Win Conditions IJA: None - Defeat is inevitable
