Bobs Fictional Countries

Well with both sides ‘not exactly’ where they were supposed to be, I pulled the 1st Dice out of the bag and it was red for Vogan, as they were the farthest forward and had a potential shot at the HMMV scouts.

Only one had a line of sight on  checking, way out of range for the cannon but a possible with the missile. It was on a 6 as the HMMV’s hadn’t moved so were still technically Gone to ground. It fired…..apologies to Gerry, for the whooshing noise as it went past your house. The rest of the unit moved into better firing positions as unable to fire when moving with the AT missiles.

The next dice was a green, so to show lots of ill feeling they returned fire. I assume  on reading the gone to ground description that the BMP had lost its bonus on firing, so with a base 3 to hit and only +1 for partial cover they were on 4’s

A 3 & 6 were rolled so one missile hit, given the difference between the TOW 2’s strike value and the BMP’s defence, there isn’t a possible save roll, and with a 6 on firepower   one dead BMP.

1ST Blood to Mercia

After that the next series of dice came out evenly red and green.

The T55’s commander realising he was totally in the wrong place and seeing the huge amount of open space in front of him, raced his unit towards the safety of the woods.

Most of the Mercians realised they were out of position and moved as quickly as possible towards the centre of town

The Guards T64 commander on realising the complete FUBAR, decided to forget where he should be and headed over the hills to the small copse of woods to his front, this did leave one tank technically exposed,  but as it happened the Abrams troop was unable to move sufficiently on tactical to get it in range. The 1st Platoon was behind so didnt have line of sight or the ability to fire and move, so just moved into a firing position.

The BMP1 scouts spotted the arrival of the Mercian tanks to there front ,and as they were out of range for their missiles decided discretion was the better part of valor and also headed for the safety of the woods.

Col Keitholopolos , had held back moving his main force till last. On seeing the lack of Mercian Forces pushed his armour up the right of woods, and sent the Spandrals to take up positions by the deffelade on the right of the Road.

And finally the Hapless Kaptain Kevlin  raced across the table to attempt to reunite with his command.
