Sunday Afternoon at Good Games

There were 3 games going in the back bunker.  One sci-fi, one Chain of Command  & one Bolt Action.

Bolt Action:  Chris' Japanese v. Jim's Australians
1000 pts, Point Defence Scenario in the jungle, Japanese defending (on the the far side in the pics).   The ground is jungle with visibility 12" except for the green fields & yellow crop fields.  The scenario was modified  a bit to put objectives in logical places - the village & in the clearings behind.   The defenders were allowed to deploy past the objectives.
The Australians sent an infantry unit down each flank & attacked the village with another supported by their 25 pdr & MMG,
The Australians had an infantry unit making flank march on each flank.  On the right a converging attack soon took out the Japanese defence.  On the left the frontal attack was stopped by the Japanese tank, but the Banzai charge on the flanking force was mown down leaving the objective there exposed.  The defenders in the village were weakened by support fire & over-run by an assault. 
In the end the Japanese managed to maintain dispute of the left hand objective, but lost the other two so it was an Australian win.
