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.
