Bolt Action Practice for Devonport Event

With a BA event at Devonport only 2 weeks away a practice match is need to refresh on the rules.
JohnM: Japanese vets.
Jim: Afrika Korps vets.
It's a blue in blue on unlikely terrain for both sides, but we're practicing for a BA tourney, so it's the sort thing we might get.  Mission 2: Scenario : Meeting Engagement.

The Afrika Korps are on the near side.  The Scenario has no objectives other than to destroy two more enemy units than you lose.  Both sides went for each with reckless abandon, resulting in a bloodbath.   The Japanese got ahead with Banzai & flamethower attacks, but the Germans clawed their back to a draw on the last turn with their HE & a counterattack with their pioneers.  A fun game & good to get our heads around the rules again.
