West of Kleineburg, 1979 - part 4

Back in 1979, the second company of Brits reveals itself.  Half (above) were Britains Deetail figures, while (below) the others were conversions - not by me - of Airfix figures.

The first two Forbodian rifle companies were preparing to assault the enemy held wood.  The dice are the close assault tests - each stand needs to roll equal to or less than the remaining number of figures in order to press home their attack, so it can be seen that two are going in (having rolled 2 and 4) while the others have bottled it by rolling 5, 6).

The Brit CO watching from the hills to the east....

...while nearby the BRDM platoon had returned to recce the hill.

An overview of the nasty scrap for the central wood.

At this point, the Forbodian mortar suffered a rather fatal 'short' - the round hit the radio operator in the HQ stand!  We then tested for additional casualties....

...resulting in the demise of several trucks, half the Sagger Platoon and the Battalion CO!

The 3rd rifle company was proving reluctant to join in the action...

...but a visit from a representative of SPARK (Special Police And Revolutionary Kommissars) stiffened their resolve.

Eventually the Comrades had the better of the fighting and the Brits crept away...

...but not before that British HQ had stalked the BRDM plt through the woods...

...and scored a hit!

We decided that the action was a draw as while the Fodbodians were left in possession of the field they had suffered quite badly.  I'm sure the Comrades will want to avenge this outrage soon....
