Well we finally managed to finish the game, again over a video link using WhatsApp on my phone. I was waiting on the start of turn four to try and bring on some of my army, of my 5 units I had only managed to have 2 on the board so far but I need to roll a 6 on a D6 for each unit, on this turn I failed all my rolls the enemy tanks moved closer to the border post I also decided that my two Land rovers with HMG’s would be better at the border post this was a mistake as it allowed the enemy unit on the other side of the table to freely move into the native village and then spread onto the third objective, at the road exit further into the interior of New bosia.
My brave defenders at the border post manage to hunker down and survive another round and hold back the communist hoards
Success at the start of turn 5 and I get 2 of my 3 remaining units on to the table by rolling two 6’s
I bring the 2 tanks on to the board right at the border post, right next to the T 55’s for the expected slugfest
I bring the 2 armoured cars on to the table next to the native village to deal with the troops on that side
The tanks fight it out around the border post, we both loose a tank in the first round I also loose both my land rovers to fire from a recoilless rifles, but manage to destroy the jeep mounted one, in turn.
The next turn no more reserves the last two tank duel it out destroying each other, a quirk of the simultaneous fire rules.
Another quirk of the rules finish the game, my armoured cars have moved around to engage the troops trying to take the road exit the troops get to shoot first and my brother rolls a double 3 which means a random effect occurs and my brother rolls a 4 which allows professional quality troops to call in artillery or air support, the resultant fire from this support destroys both the armoured cars, to make matters worse this unit that called in the fire was originally just a regular unit but got upgraded during the initial political manoeuvring I don’t have any aircraft for this game so the box will have to do
As a surprise we then worked out the victory points
84 to 106 to me
So the brave defenders of New Bosia had prevented the communist threat and can live on in peace and freedom
