Some pics from a Battlegroup Normandy playtest...
« on: November 19, 2012, 08:24:50 PM »
Another scenario test, this time seeing D Company 506 PIR fighting with some elements of FJR6...









This time the Germans got a little tank to help (which proved utterly useless) but they managed to inflict heavy losses on the attacking US troops by interlocking fields of fire from their MG teams and rifle squads. With the Germans either dug into the bocage or in buildings it was a very hard nut for the US to crack, even though they out-numbered them 3 - 1. Of particular annoyance to the US Pars was one particular sMG42 that while on 'ambush' caught a squad of US Airborne running over a road and mowed them down to the last man... The Germans also had a particuarly effective little sniper who proved to be a pain!









Was a close enough game, but the Germans got the better of it this time and saw off the US airborne, who sustained heavy casualties among two of the Paratroop platoons.
