Operation Sudlicht: Bolt Action event in Devonport

Chris & Jim travelled north to Devonport for another Operation Sudlicht Bolt Action event in Devonport.  Mark had to drop out due to a (non-covid) lurgu).  20 players had 3 games on 10 tables.  As always the event  featured excellent terrain & was run like clockwork in a spirit of having a good time rather than intense competition.   

Chris' Soviets won 1 & lost 2.

In game 1 v. a mainly vet US force, the Afrika Korps had a terrible turn 1.  The MkIII was ranged in on 1st go by a medium howitzer & pinned out of the game until it was destroyed, a sniper took out the  MMG & the Chaffee took out the the LG105.  The enemy was too good a player to let the Afrika Korps recover from that.
Having given the Afrika Korps a hard time in game 1, the dice gods relented in game 2 v. British Paras.  The Afrika Korps took every trick & totally destroyed the enemy force while losing no units itself.
In Game 3 the Afrika Korps fought more British vets & had another decisive victory.
