Fortunately not to worry this game. Once again I agree I felt like it was a great game and we learnt a lot.

We were going under the premiss, if you are within 5cm of someone bailed out you automatically destroy them. <br /><br />It is interesting working out when to be aggressive or not and playing is the best way to work it out!

I was going to give you answers to your questions but Paul has beaten me to it!<br /><br />Dust Up, being a free for all type mission, can be tough with infantry as you are having to both attack and defend, and once infantry are out of their comfy foxholes they are prone to Vehicle MGs... I think Paul may have mentioned in the past that usually infantry in these circumstance end up having one go at an assault, and if they get shot up, they stop and end up in staring contest... <br /><br />Oh and as dean said, before you clump you armour together, just check out what template assets your opponent has ready to drop on your head! Planes and heavy arty can spoil your fun quickly! ;-)<br /><br />As Paul said earlier, you'll learn a lot from these games... whats better deployed, whats better as a reserve etc etc... when to go for it, when to wait...Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763586098588355727.post-29777857874627247292013-08-28T13:04:54.056+12:002013-08-28T13:04:54.056+12:00Unless you're British (with the "Carry on...Unless you're British (with the "Carry on Sargeant" rule), you must have a platoon leader to launch assault. The leader doesn't have to actually be an assaulting team though, and you can designate as few teams as you like to be assaulting. The problem with this is that hits from defensive fire can only be allocated to assaulting teams, so if you send in one guy on his own there's a good chance he may die! Sending up a few "bullet-catchers" as well is a good way to make sure your critical teams can get in. You also don't have to stay in command when making assault moves.<br /> Hope that helps :-)Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249430164077358978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763586098588355727.post-17028562054140197092013-08-28T09:26:13.549+12:002013-08-28T09:26:13.549+12:00Wow those panzers were squeezed up together.

Just did a tidy up edit, changing the fausts for shrecks etc. Thanks for doing the report, as usually its the winning team that has to! There must be some rule out there about having to assault with more than one team, or having your commander in there as well or something! Worth a post in the FOW forum!? Game still could have gone your way if you had hit that tank at the end!- oh well!, perhaps next week!!!!Dan Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020492418016163136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763586098588355727.post-64433834213911252982013-08-28T06:14:13.324+12:002013-08-28T06:14:13.324+12:00Excellent report, sounds like a fun game and both ...Excellent report, sounds like a fun game and both sides went for the win. You'll learn more from that game than any amount rule-book reading and theorising! Nothing wrong with being aggressive either, you've got make things happen if you want to win :-) <br /> Your assault on the recon: at least one assaulting team must make base-to-base contact with an enemy team. After that, remaining attacking teams only need to get within assault range (5cm) to roll to hit in the assault.Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249430164077358978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763586098588355727.post-78573656457726588902013-08-28T01:48:19.380+12:002013-08-28T01:48:19.380+12:00Great batrep boys, nothing wrong with a good game ...Great batrep boys, nothing wrong with a good game and a loss...just ask Ray he's quite used to it!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.com
