Bolt Action Tournament at Devonport

Camp Cromwell's force for the event was Jim's Panzergrenadiers, Chris' Soviets & Mark's US.  The tournament was all Axis v. Allies & as always Russel did a brilliant job organising & as TA. 

Camp Cromwell had a uniform & very average performance with an equal mix of wins, draws & losses in our 3 games each.  But due to the Allied dominance Jim's very average performance scored him best Axis general in a pretty pathetic Axis effort.  He also won the Best Tank Kill award for popping a KV with  panzerfaust.

Your correspondent only covered the Panzergrenadier's games.

Round 1: Panzer grenadiers masquerading as Afrika Korps v. British.  A bloody draw.

Round 2; The Germans must have pushed thru the Caucasus to fight the Soviets in the desert.  A crushing German victory that earned maximum VPs & lifted their commander to Best German General status. 

The brave MkIII goes toe to toe with the a KV.  Both missed this turn. Next turn the MkIII flanked the KV & missed again. but then a Panzergrenasier in the palm trees popped the KV front-on with his broomstick & a shower of 6's.

In Round 3 The Germans fought a lot of British Armour in the snow.   It was such a disaster for the Germans that they didn't think to get their Leica out.   It started badly for the Germans with their MkIII going up in flames with the first shot of the game.  Then the British barrage took out 2 units & heavily pinned 2 more on turn 2 & it really went pear shaped.
