Another day, another hill. This is pretty much Scenario 4 only with staggered arrival of forces. As such I thought I'd give the same armies a go and see if fortunes would be reversed - except this time I added Machine Guns.
The objective must once more be held exclusively to get a win - usual stuff, game length is 15 turns max. or ends when both sides reach exhaustion point.
Quick reminder of the factions involved (as I usually forget) - The Tan coloured figures are soldiers of the Democratic Party of Free Uqbal (DPFU) and the Green are The Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) - both wish to establish their own one party "democratic" system in the former Albionian colony.

PDF men on the hill with no cover to speak of
|
 |
DPFU begin to arrive
|
 |
and the attack starts
|
 |
More PDF troops are arriving
|
 |
The PDF machine gun on the hill starts to reap its deadly harvest
|
 |
| before being neutralized (with extreme prejudice) by the DPFU armoured car |
 |
| A change of perspective (for the second reel) |
 |
| The PDF are falling back under the relentless fire of the attacking force |
 |
Sensing victory the DPFU commander sends his men in up close & personal
|
In the mean time there has been (almost inevitably) an almighty duel between the armoured car and Bazooka Joe on the opposite flank.
 |
The armoured car is destroyed just as the attack falters and the DPFU reach EP
|
 |
The DPFU machine gun brings the PDF to EP but the battle is lost
|
Both factions have since ordered some heavier weapons from the same unscrupulous Super Power in the hope of breaking the deadlock.
