Friday afternoon Bolt Action

John's Germans v. Jim's Brits.
1,100 pts Meeting Engagement.
The Brits are coming on this side.  They got off to a good start when their Bombardment came in immediately, took out the SP gun. & pinned down the infantry squad the hill & the SP AA, but not before the AA took out the bug. 
The Brits might have got off to a good start, but it was all downhill from there.  A German flank attack on the left took out the 25pdr.  The Mortar took out the HMG.  The AA rallied its pins off & blew off an infantry squad in 1 turn.  Hits on the AA by the  25pdr, the mortar, the Honey & a PIAT all failed to any more than pins - which were rallied off.  Then the mortar lost the range.  The quad AA only got to shoot 3 times, but wiped out a unit each time. The Brits attack on their right failed to do enough damage & the Germans won with 5 kills to 2.

Interesting game still not quite sure how I won but it reinforces what I learned woth by Brit Paras ...a PIAT and a light tank do not make for a good enough anti-srmour force.
