SAIDOR - March 1, 1944

Strategic Situation:
After the capture of Finschhafen, Australian troops are moving towards Madang both up the coast and via the Markham and Ramu River valleys. On January 2nd an amphibious US Army force captured Saidor (midway between Finschhafen and Madang) to block the Japanese coastal link between the two towns. 

Tactical Briefing:
After the Arawe operation your men are moved to Saidor to rest and prepare for further operations. Your current orders are to patrol in the Saidor area; the main objectives are to search out remaining Japanese units to the south, and secure the mountain passes. You are also ordered to send an amphibious group to the west. The Australians are close to linking up to your east but the south and west are your main concerns.

NOTE: 
You will have to embark units from the "port" of Saidor but you will only be able to embark 1 unit at a time.
