Boltaction - Great war pt:3

 

The French counter attack to retake their frontline trenches, the German frontline is made up of regular riflemen, a Veteran MMG and a Regular Sniper, Forward observer and Mortar team. The king Card allows the Germans to add 250 points to their total global reserves.

Then French deploy a heavy assault force of Veterans and a Heavy Trench Mortar supported by a free Forward observer and a Sniper.

Turn 1 the French Heavy Mortar fires at the right flank Soldaten missing, whilst the German Mortar fires, hitting and killing the Lt and Medic alongside 2 of the 3 Heavy mortar men.

The German Lt snaps the action, the MMG then pours its fire on the advancing French putting on 2 pins before...

The Sniper fires killing the Forward artillery observer hiding in the ruined house.

Turn 2 saw the French push forward trying to avoid the Artillery bombardment, with no indirect support it's up to the Vets the carry the assault.

The French sniper gets an angle on the Mortar team and removes it from play.

The the Artillery barrage arrives, wiping out a squad of veteran trench raiders and putting lots of pins on the other assaulting squads.

We introduced a new rule, allowing the attacker to break off the attack if they're completely in their table half and the defender has no units in their table half.

Germany holds its gains, loses only 50 points and causes 350 French losses.
