In 1943 a group of Australian commandos paddled their canoes by night into Singapore harbour, attached limpet mines and sank or damaged 7 Japanese ships and returned to Oz without incident (nearly). They were taken there and back by a captured Japanese fishing vessel Kofuku Maru... renamed The Krait. The flag flown on this journey is the flag in question....

Operation Rimau..... the follow up operation in 1944 ended in tragedy with the commandos being killed in firefights, or captured and beheaded...

I like commando ops. I especially like to probe it in CC3 Vietnam Mod, where I just use one SOG Team (occasionally an accompanying SF Team) against a few VK Teams. They try to defend a fire base or conduct a LRR Mission.
