All,

So, the regiment is on its way to Arnone, and has been in heavy fighting, though so far 1st Battalion has been in reserve.  The regiment has broken through the roadblock and now 1st Battalion has assumed the point, with 1st Platoon leading the way up the road, when contact is made with an enemy patrol sort of loitering about the area.  The Plt Sgt, SSgt Ford, is with Sgt Glenn's 3rd Squad at the head of the column, and surges into action.


The table, 2' x 2' in 10mm (Pendraken) once again.  Initial dispositions.  The Germans are all North of the East-West road, with three East and one West of the North-South road.  The US troops are moving up the North-South road.  The US forces: SSgt Ford, Sgt Glenn, Cpl Timmons (w/BAR), then riflemen Pvt Johnson, PFC Leshore, and Pvt Anders.  The German (once again somehow) have a Lt, a SMG gunner, and two riflemen.


I let the Germans go first this time, and they promptly roll a '1' (scurry).  This pic is looking West to East, where the far left German rifleman (bottom right) sprinted across the road to flank the US troops on the North-South road.  The German officer also moved up (far left) to peer around the building.


This pic looks East to West, where the far right German rifleman moved across the road and the SMG gunner crossed the North-South road and took up position behind the wall at far right.


This pic is looking East to West; Johnson moved left off the road to engage the flanking German rifleman, firing and causing the German to hit the deck (green bead).


SSgt Ford dashed ahead, jumped in a crater, and fired at the SMG gunner behind the wall, suppressing him (red bead), while Cpl Timmons joined him, firing at the German rifleman at far right, to no effect.

This game went quick, less than 30 minutes to set up, play, and take down.  To see how it turned out, please check the blog at:

I'm not sure what to think of these, I'm so unaccustomed to not getting half my squad blown away!
