Army Tan are attacking an Army Green base that their scouts report is lightly manned. They fan out and approach to within firing range. Unfortunately, most of the Army Green force are hidden in the woods on their left flank...
Army Tan are pinned and unable to fight back until turn 3, and subsequently take some damage
Army Tan's infantry engage the ambushers...
The heavier weapons engage the mortar team in the base
Tan's commander orders his men to rake the tree-line with fire, whilst his Armoured Car gets up close to the enemy base
Still taking hits in the open, Army Tan move in close
By the end of the game, Army Tan is reduced to one Infantry unit and a badly damaged Armoured Car, however the Scenario requires the ambushers to eliminate all enemy units..
I'm inclined to award Army Green the victory!
Nice report, MJT. Good to see these two slugging it out again! Was this with Portable Wargame early-mid C20th rules? And did the mortar team in the defence works survive ?
ReplyDeleteYes PW 20th Century. I must try it again with NT's OHW rules.
ReplyDeleteThe Mortar was knocked out eventually, having destroyed the artillery and damaged the armoured car. Next up, more ACW.
Thanks….and looking forward to it…love these reports 👍🏼!
ReplyDeleteNice report sir, looks like a real slug fest.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mr Sprinks. Hope things are going ok for you and the family.
