Game
As usual I forgot to take photos, I had thought I had taken more but all I could find was 3. It was a pretty even game in respect to double phases and luck with the dice. I think the Germans have a quite a tough time of it is in this game. P-y's plan was a good one. He had taken a off-table mortar which he quickly laid down just on the American side of the bridge. Before that he had put one squad in the road on overwatch with the FO as well as the Renault tanklet. I could not resist putting down my MMG team on my left flank behind a stone wall in heavy cover, they were at close range and firing 10d6. I did cause a couple of kills but the overwatch fire back was devastating as I had 3 men killed and I ended up pinned. Down came the Mortar Barrage and they broke. One FM point down! More below.....
The unlucky or maybe foolhardy MMG team.... |

Platoon Leaders's Outlook: ContentIt was a good game, we are playing turn 5 on the 25th of October (need to get out of Salem for Halloween it is getting crazy here). I am curious to see what P-Y's plan is for his 2nd assault attempt.
Stunning pictures my friend, sounds great!
