WW2 6mm game on A4 page on the blog – mission 3

[Shaun Travers]

Hello

This is mission 3 in a campaign following a British company through 1944 France.  I am using 6mm forces and playing on a 3×4 grid on a A4 page.

Games 1 and 2 were fun, even if the British lost both missions.  You will have to read the battle report to see if they continue the run of losing or actually get a win.

The UK infantry force is attacking a German armoured force. The UK mission is tasked with patrolling the No-Man’s Land area. Victory is assured if they inflict more casualties than receive or make the German’s break-off.

A full battle report is on the blog here:

A link to the rules I used is in the blog report.

When british 1st platoon moved to the building and shot at Germans it used both activations right? The rules says the second activation can’t be for same unit.

@Thomaston, you are absolutely right.  The British did an illegal fire – the second activation should not have been allocated to the 1st platoon.    Can’t even remember my own rules 🙂  I will update the blog post to indicate this was against the rules.

I only spotted that because I made the same mistake several times.
