Matt joined me via Zoom yesterday evening for a game of Bolt Action, I set up a table for the Hold Until Relieved scenario in the rule book.
By turn three it was beginning to look all in for the Germans, turn four onward saw a turnaround in their fortune with the objective changing hands several times. The Germans however were running out of men if they could just last until turn six and no turn seven they would eek out a draw, however a turn seven it was which saw the demise of the Germans has a fighting force. Tenacious counter attacks by the British secured the win for Matt.Unfortunately in the heat of battle and the evening I neglected to take photos, I think Matt will be putting a post up with his view of the battle and some screen shots at some point.

Good looking game, Phil! I await more details from Matt. Nice AT gun too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan.
DeleteNice table there Phil! Usual result I see...๐
ReplyDeleteWell I'm consistent if nothing else.
DeleteGreat game Phil thanks for hosting, it was a grim business on the bridge as it changed hands, I wonder if I should have charged the tank over the bridge but that would have been testing providence with the pak40 lined up !
ReplyDeleteI think you would have run over it before it hit you๐
DeleteExcellent looking game and good to see the swamp earning its keep once more.
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt, I am certainly getting some mileage from it and that culvert.
DeleteCulverts everywhere at the moment Phil. Nice report.
ReplyDeleteThank you George. A culvert is the new bridge.
DeleteNice looking game and love the ATG:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve. The PaK40 is above piece and surprisingly for a metal kit fits together swimmingly.
DeleteLooks like a great game. Lovely terrain and miniatures.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Helen
Thank you Helen. It was an enjoyable game indeed.
DeleteA lovely looking game Phil.
ReplyDeleteAs always…
At least the Pak40 scored a hit before it succumbed to the ‘new unit’ curse…
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly, only just made the hit on time though.
DeleteSuper looking game Phil!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Matt
Thank you Matt.
DeleteIsn't it always the way with freshly painted units and there first action but your Empress PAK and crew do look the business.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat. Indeed I am surprised my new mortar and crew got through unscathed, mind they were behind a wood๐
