Friday Afternoon Bolt Action

Jim's Panzergrenadiers v. Chris' Soviets. 1,200 pts.

The table is about 9'x6'.  The Mission is like the Tank War mission, but with 7 objectives.  There 3 objectives along the ridge on the left, one on each of the 2 bridges, 1 in the village & one on a hill just off-shot to the right.  The Germans start on the right.  In the deployment turn each side can put their units down within 24" of their baseline.
Both sides covered their objective at the far end with an MMG & left it at that.
On the near flank the Germans are advancing through the woods with 2 infantry squads.  The Russians have infantry in the woods to defend the bridge.
In the centre both sides have most of their infantry. The Germans are supported by a MkIII & an armoured car in the orchard.  The Russians have T34 coming up in support. 
Things did not well for the Soviets.  Some hot shooting by their mortar & artillery support on the ridge & armour support helped the grenadiers destroy the Soviet attack in the centre.  On the left the Soviet infantry was no match for the German veterans & they took the bridge there too. The Germans did not lose a unit & ended the game with 5 of the 7 objectives.
