Sunday Afternoon BA

This week the retired gentleman's game was postponed to Sunday as we priortised saving the planet on Friday.  Chris & I tried out 1,100 pt armies as practice for the upcoming BA comp in December.  Jim's Grenadiers v. Chris' Soviets in Hold Until Relieved scenario.

The bridge is the objective.  The Soviets started with infantry next to the bridge with a armoured car in support.  Their 1st wave & reserves come on the far side.  The Germans deployed their forces on this side of the table over 18" from the soviets on the table.

It was a difficult table for the defence.  There was little cover on the objective & the Germans had good positions to provide fire support for their attacking squads.  The initial defenders fell back to cover  on the ridge but were decimated by MG fire then over-run by grenadiers.

Russian attempts to re-take the position were easily repulsed, even before Mitzi intervened.
