The Kingston Bunker rats are running a Flames of War Doubles event next weekend. Camp Cromwell is entering a team so we had a practice match to bone up on the rules as we haven't played FOW since their last event last year. Leigh, Jim & Chris are making up a British Team. For this practice match Mark & Jim have an Afrika Korps force v. Leigh & Chris' Desert British. Each force is two coys, totaling 2,500 pts. One infantry & 1 tank. Mission #1: Free for All.
Both sides have objectives on the flanks. The DAK are on the near side. Their 3 MkII & 4 MkIV are concentrated in the centre. The Brits ahve spread their 9 Crusaders across their front.
The Panzers advanced to engage the British with superior numbers. The Brits counterattacked but the Panzers kept the upper hand with a bit of help from their artillery on the Portees.
As the tanks slugged it out in the centre, the DAK infantry advanced on their left. More Crusaders were fed into that tank fest, only to follow their comrades into the first half of death or glory. With the destruction of a whole coy, the Brits failed army morale to end the game. The German initial concentration of armour combined with some good dice was leathal combination.
