Hello Folks,
This past weekend was a club day, got another game of bolt action. British 8th army vs Germans.
Rolled for mission and got:
Seek and destroy
Quarters
Meeting engagement
So murder with troops deploying turn 1 in opposite table quarters.
Here's the end of turn 1, just units moving on really not much shooting. 25lber on the hill, 2lber anti-tank gun looking down the road, infantry spreading out.
Lucky shot from my Artillery took out a German gun almost right away. On the right flank I advanced a squad into a house. On the left I had 2 been carries bring up some small vet squads. That went badly... 1 squad got a FUBAR and ran off the table.
Turn 3 various moving around and shooting. Right flank guys in the house defending against 2 German squads behind the hill. Moving another squad to the fence to support the vets. My crusader git bombed by German Artillery fire and was immobilized, and my humbler was forced back as well.
Turn 4 no huge changes, smaller units on each side are getting killed off, pretty even so far. But German Artillery is now ranged in on my fence guys.
Those fence guys failed to move due to pins and got flattened. With my vets being lost as well things are becoming bad.
In the end the Germans scored a solid victory. I dint think the Artillery platoon is worth it vs mortars and machine guns, but gun to see the models. Hopefully will gave some SAS jeeps painted for next time!
Either wag looking forward to the next bolt action day.
Big Gane of pillage
Fantastic battles I think
Thanks;
Mike
