Rapid fire

[gamer Mac]

Being board and stuck in the house I was cleaning out my garage and dug out my old 20 mm stuff and I have managed to persuade by boy to play a game



The objective is to cross the river and take the town
To do this the allies have a US armoured infantry Battalion supported by a British tank regiment against a German Battle group







Will post more pics after the game

Looks real good

[gamer Mac]

Thanks guys
some more pictures

my plan was to rush my light tanks across the bridge but this failed as the first one was hit and stopped on the exit of the bridge, I tried to cover the tanks with smoke but failed so I moved my main effort to the ford further down the river

but this crossing is also covered by another big gun

so this crossing was also hit

this is a pic of my bulldozer trying to clear the crossing of wrecks

I had a second tank on the bridge trying to tow the wreck but it was hit by a panzerschreck from the church yard

the traffic jam was getting bigger
Some headway was made by the bulldozer leading the charge until another tank appeared in the woods

After managing to clear the defences around the church

but not the rest

I called enough is enough at this time, both crossings were blocked and I had nothing left to deal with the enemy tanks left

Great photos with some lovely kit. One to remember and treasure as he gets older.

Thanks for the good comments
I am not sure whether he will remember it never mind treasure it he was straight back to his computer

Top stuff Gamer Mac!

Nice to have an opponent on hand I’m reduced to solo play temporarily!

One of my mates uses Rapid Fire (with added command Control Rules) for North African games.

Great stuff Colin! We regularly play Rapid Fire,a cracking little game,and surprisingly realistic; gun class 1 Panthers,run away

Where was the Air Support? 

never liked plane models
I forgot how good panthers are in rapid fire

Colin, it’s a winner, old school, easy to play and you usually get a result. What’s not to like.
