We played out an Attack/Defend scenario with the evil Moroccan Regulares (boo!) assault in a small village held by some brave International Brigade troops (yay!).
The Moroccans were attacking from the top of this picture towards the bridge...
The Regulares had deployed a PzI and an infantry gun as support. The tank was a threat as I hadn't been able to deploy my own artillery for several turns.
The gun was particularly annoying as it took some very effective long range shots at the troops sheltering in the village.
The Moroccans were finding it difficult to drive the Republicans out of the buildings although they did see off a mortar section which had carelessly deployed without it's mortars: the Republicans have to buy their support weapons like LMGs and mortars and I'd spent all my points on a pretty armoured car instead!
The Constructora A/C finally turned up and sped over the bridge to provide some fire support:
My gun had also finally got into position but was quickly silenced by rifle fire.
The broken mortar section fled back over the river...
...but the IBs still held the village and the bridge. The Republican morale had dipped dangerously low but the Moroccans infantry was now beginning to waver.
We decided it was a close Republican win but only because the Moroccans didn't have the troops left to seize and hold their objective. The Republicans would definitely need reinforcing if they were to remain in control for much longer.
Nice to get the armies out again. I thought I'd re-based these to individual bases but obviously hadn't... most of them are still on 3 figure bases so I may add this to the to-do list.
Nice report Alastair.
