We join the action again as Will has managed to line up a very intimidating quantity of tanks - 7 companies and infantry - 3 companies near the Indian central position. Help!
 |
| I meanwhile had managed to rearrange the defenders - with the infantry in the village and the Centurions (with the Brigadier frantically trying to rally them) and Shermans flanking. |
 |
The onslaught wasn't long in coming. The Pakistanis who had plodded across the fields piled into the Shermans and a messy melee ensued. |
 |
| The Indian infantry managed to see off the Pak assault but the Sherman battalion was nearly wiped out. |
 |
| The level of Indian casualties caused me a few worrying moments but the bulk of the enemy had been driven off. |
 |
| The Brigadier was soon on the move again - this time to rally the few surviving Shermans. |
 |
| The Pakistanis had suffered considerable losses.... |
 |
| ...and Will concluded that his forces lacked the strength to carry the position. |
Although I had run this scenario several times before, the most recent was about 5 years ago so I had no clear memory of what had happened in those earlier games (I'll look for photos). Will took to the game with some enthusiasm and proved to be a worthy opponent. He is welcome back any time!
Finally, I should point out that the scenario was adapted from the one on
Bob MacKenzie's website.

These GHQ and C in C models are a real delight.
Fire at Will
Glad you enjoyed it too.
Fascinating game - looks great as well. Do you ever deploy aircraft in this type of game?
Cheers

Indeed we do - see http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/battle-of-vodsfjord-1989.html. Fixed wing, helicopters and even hovercraft!
A happy Indian ending Tim. Well fought out by the look of it.
Paul
Will certainly made me work for it!
