AAR Falaise Pocket Breakout Pt:3 Crossroad Caper!













All Airfix!


 In the next turn Al's Infantry Battalion Anti Tank Unit arrives on the table. joining the queue of British vehicles, all exposed I might add...Now where is the Luftwaffe?













Airfix Tempest V


 Here is the reason why the Luftwaffe is not available, At the end of this turn Al will get to call on his Air Support to hot things up for my forces.













Armourfast 17 Pdr Achilles 


 Al has a Squadron of RA Achilles Tank Destroyers at the head of his column. For the game since they were fighting around some bocage type terrain we applied a sub-rule that only the Churchill Infantry Tanks could access the bocage and smash their way though it. The TD's were able to go into the fields but really could only go though gates to get out of them. So Al decided to let these RA boy's to guard the road and act as a battering ram (I think?). Above wanting to make up for the loss of the Recon Platoon Al directs the entire Squadron into the crossroads. One Battery heads to the Bridge while one Battery turns left to stop the Germans coming down the road. The Command Stand wisely (As it turns out) acts as a reserve.





A roar of sound and fire envelopes the Battery heading for the Bridge with the 20mm Flakvierling 38 Platoon spewing out 2400 rounds a minute into the targets. Utter silence as I roll the dice...Target destroyed...I have warm dice and these Achilles are not tanks!






More to come, model on!
