Scenario: Poipet
Date: 1941/01/10

In 1907 France forced Thailand, then known as Siam, to cede three provinces to Cambodia. However, after the fall of France in May 1940, the Vichy regime in Indochina is weak and isolated, so the pro-Japanese Thai government has begun a campaign to recover the lost provinces. 

In October the French government refused Thai demands for the return of the provinces, after which there were number of border clashes and finally, in January 1941, the Thai army attacked at four places along the Cambodian and Laotian borders to recover its lost territory. The biggest attack is across the border at Poipet with the objective of advancing down Colonial Route 1 to Battambang. 

As a loyal supporter of the current military government you will command the main assault. Your orders are to cross the border at Poipet, with your main objectives being Sisophon and Battambang.

NOTES:

If you purchase an aircraft in this scenario you will not be able to deploy it until turn 7.

PURCHASING HINTS & SUPPLIES:

You do not need transport for infantry for the first few scenarios but tanks and an AD gun of some kind may prove useful. Also purchase a good selection of other units. You will need to upgrade your infantry transport later in the campaign.

If a "Supplies" unit appears during a scenario then you have received some prestige.
