FORCE ON FORCE: Bush war!

 

 

Guten Morgan!



 

 Ran my first Bush wars scenario I created myself last night. Went fairly well I think but i definetly handicapped the SADF who were hard pressed to make it off the table. Terrain set up will need to be modified as well as we got bogged down by the river.

 

In the end FAPLA won the day as they prevented the SADF from existing the table with any of the 4 squads.

 

Cheers

Matt

the initial SADF set up

 

 Running troops out into the open in front of 4 enemy positions is never smart. This was the turning point and it really bogged us down. My fault.

 

With heavy causalities in the squad left in the open we reinforced the covered position. 

 

 We still ad 3 foot of table to run down by turn 4

Unlucky for us FAPLA called in a T62 for support ....

 

 

 Unlucky for FAPLA we called in the whirlybird. The crack door gunner put a round through the deck immobilising FAPLAs toy.

 

We called it game here at turn 6. We no longer had the initiative and no way could run the 3 ft up the board.
