Bolt Action Boot Camp: Saturday
Battle Report: British Vs Japanese Round Two
At the start of round 2 the artillery strike the Brits called for last turn comes in and manages to catch almost the entire Japanese army in its 12" blast radius. Most of the units suffer pin markers, but the Japanese machine gun and one of the suicide anti-tank teams aren't so lucky, suffering devastating hits that sees them taken out of the game.
The Cromwell tried to follow up on this success by firing an armour penetrating round at the Japanese Chiha tank, but unfortunately this only managed to score another pinned marker.
Most of the Japanese managed to shake off their pin markers, with the veteran infanty and command unit in the bunker getting set for an ambush, while the inexperienced infantry ran up the flank to face the British mortar team.
The Chiha pushed aside a spitfire and returned fire with its machine guns, managing to put a pin marker on the British medic, while the rest of the Japanese infantry and the surviving suicide anti-tank team headed towards the objective hidden in the glider.
This sounds much like one would expect from a British/Japanese clash, Heavy artillery fire from the British but hard to stop Japanese troops – you just have to kill then to stop them.
Exciting. This is what the game is all about.
C’mon you Brits.
This sounds like it might come down to a last turn victory.
The Imperial army will be tough to beat if they get that objective.
Exciting game so far.
Great coverage, the board is awesome.
Nice crates!
Give me more!
yeah those crates look good, who makes them?
great looking match up!
Love the look of the jap tank
What happened with the japanese in the guardhouse? :O
Beside that have medics special rules? Can they revive man?
