Partisans!

[Westbury]

Knocked up a simple WWII Partisans attack a German held Russian village game and it went remarkably well 

One squad of Germans plus support receiving a supply truck in the village and two Partisan squads deploy out in the surrounding cover ready to pounce 

[Westbury]

In a very quickfire game we rattled through a lot of turns, so here are the highlights:-
Bob's squad sneaked through the abandoned part of the village, unnoticed by the sentry, but as the neared the German positions a more observant German fired out of the rear window of an occupied house and downed the Partisan sergeant. Several of the squad then returned fire and the German was dropped. Alert!
In what has become the time honoured tradition JC's squad spent it's time avoiding the action while Bob did all the fighting and got his squad cut to pieces

"Oh look a third group of Partisans have appeared in the hills, perhaps you could take them over Bob?" 
The renewed Partisan attack now saw both groups open up on the supply column as it tried to escape, and it nearly did ! But alas weight of fire shot the motorcyclists off their vehicles and a stray shot ignited the truck fuel tank - we all had a flash back to Where Eagles Dare 
The enraged Germans now started to get their act together; the sniper team downed two of JC's partisans before being silenced by the sergeant, the mortar zeroed in on Bob's new group as they surged out of the trees and the German sergeant took out a couple of JC's group

The high water mark for the Partisans was Bob's group shooting down the mortar crew and storming the gun pit where the German officer was desperately radioing for support which was a suitable place to call time.

We were constrained by time but I don't think we've ever rattled through a game quite so quickly! The rules flowed really well, fun was had, cakes were eaten, perfect!

My take on todays battle.
I’m in charge of a group of heroic freedom fighters, trying to liberate my homeland.
Let’s kick some bottom.

My boys approach the village from its southern side, using outlying buildings as cover.


JC’s boys approached the village from the northern side.


The Germans are holding the village, and about to depart asap in their vehicles.


My boys take the initiative and move forward, not knowing the Germans are waiting for them.
I immediately take casualties.


But at least I get to down a couple of guards on the way.


In the end, the weight of fire is too great on my boys, and they die in a hale of bullets.


On the northern side of town, JC’s boys are taking casualties from German snipers in the rooftops.


So, my boys are out of the game, until I pick up a second unit of partisans.
I approach the town from the east this time, just at the same moment as the German convoy leaves the town.
It’s revenge time, as I throw all my firepower at the German motorbike combos and truck.
Good firing results in destroying the convoy in total.


I now start taking casualties.
“In coming” as mortar rounds stat falling all around me.


Time to move.
I advance on the German dug out, and with some well aimed shots, I kill the mortar crew, and mount the ramparts.


And that’s where we ended the game.
A nice, quick flowing game, played in the right spirit.
FUN, coffee, cakes and dice rolling. NICEEEEE.
