More Bolt Action Practice

With attendance still affected by volunteering, bad backs & Covid we fought another one-on-one 1000 pts Bolt Action.  Steve's Afrika Korps v. Jim's British.  We recycled the table from last Saturday, but this time the mission was Meeting Engagement.  No objectives, just come & try to kill more enemy units than you lose. 

The Brits are on the near side:  2 infantry, Piat & Cromwell on the left, 25pdr & MMG in centre & 2 infantry & HQ on the right.
The Germans have a Dianna on their right behind the rise, 2 Pak 38, an 88, 3 MMG, an infantry & HQ in the centre. (A list from the Theatre book)

The Cromwell lead charmed life faced by an 88, a Dianna & a 2 Pak 38's.  It was immobilised & pinned down, but recovered while the 25 pdr took out one Pak, infantry & mg fire suppressed the other Pak, the Dianna was popped by the Piat & the 88 kept missing until the Cromwell rallied off the pins then pinned it down for the rest of the game.  Meanwhile the two infantry advances on the flanks picked off 2 MMGs & an infantry unit.  The Germans lost 5 units to the Brit's none for a big British win.
