Friday’s game : Norway 1940

 I was hosting yesterday. I chose to organise another Bolt Action game to help learn the rules. This time l added additional troop types- a tank, a forward artillery observer and accompanying off table barrage and a light howitzer. We are getting used to the rules but get mixed up at times with the previous set we used. The forces were Norwegian v German.

The battlefield set up. Still using the wee table option.

The Norwegian set up . They consisted of HQ, medic, MMG, light howitzer, three sections and a Norwegian Guard section.

The German set up. Panzer 1, MMG ,light mortar, HQ, Medic and three sections of paratroopers.

The table during a break for coffee and food.

The result of the off table barrage called in- tank destroyed and infantry killed.

Pinned ( shown by red dice) light mortar and infantry advancing from behind cover.

The Norwegians advancing.

All in all a good game was had which resulted in a Norwegian victory as well as improved knowledge of the rules. We will return to this period again soon.
