O Group - Counterattack at Grainville scenario


Game at Stephens and we played another O Group game with the Grainville scenario from Normandy supplement. This seemed inevitable as Stephen just back from trip to Normandy.

Of course discussion of his trip took up a 'bit' of time before we commenced game :-)

Thereby we failed to complete the game but still enjoyed it.

Opening deployment rolls were interesting with Stephen (German attacker) rolling 3 ones thereby losing me a Platoon, a Section and an HQ order. I then duly rolled 3 ones (4 actually) meaning 3 turns of interdiction. Essentially best opening an attacker can get ! 

Thankfully I also rolled 4 sixes allowing me to place 4 units in Ambush or things might have been disastrous. 

Also on first turn I rolled a further 3 ones making a Company Hesitant but this is not such a bind for defender and so early in a game.



As always with O Group pics not many toys to see on table in early turns

Germans advancing (2 x PzIVh just visible in wood to rear)





Patrol phase still in full swing
