Firstly shooting out of a wood - ...Some thoughts:<br /><br />Firstly shooting out of a wood - surely those in the wood would take up positions so as to give them as clear a view as possible - but still be in cover. Seemed a bit harsh to give soft cover benefit to a unit in the open - for shooting out of a wood. That was the critical point where it took too long to pin an exposed section - given the major concentration of fire.<br /><br />Keeping two sections hiding behind a hedge for most of the game was also a result.<br /><br />So that really only leaves the unit that got in to the house at the cross roads and they were never really exposed due to a fortunate 10 on two dice just making the run - even if overwatch had been in place - worst would have been a burst of lewis gun fire - so 4 rounds.<br /><br />More seriously the Home Guard are seriously lacking in fire power, and as green troops are very vulnerable to enemy fire.<br /><br />So as a n unprepared holding action to allow a prepared defence further inland - they probably did a sterling job.Piscatoreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993952341776678764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-24349821866357869012014-01-21T22:41:52.028+00:002014-01-21T22:41:52.028+00:00Great stuff MIke.
