Bolt Action

We had to postpone finishing the Jutland campaign battle as one of the players couldn't make it this week.  Jim's Panzergrenadiers v. Mike's US.  1000 pts, key positions scenario.

The Germans are on the near side.  There are 5 objectives: Each house, the bridge & one on each flank.  Both sides deployed guns to cover the open ground in the centre & deployed most of the forces on the flanks.
The Germans got a lucky break in turn 1 when their Pak38 took out the Sherman with 1 shot.
There are bloody close range combats in the woods on both flanks.
On the right, the Germans had taken the objective, but have been destroyed by US counterattacks.  On the left the objective is still unsecured by either side, but the Germans have got the upper hand with the last US unit heavily pinned down. In the centre guns & mortars are engaged in MUD while the German LMG team is advancing on the ridge.
On turn 6, the US take the RH objective but the Germans grab the bridge & the left flank objective to gain victory 3 objectives to 2.
