Roundheads and a German win !

Wednesday saw me down at George’s to continue our early war 1940 CoC campaign

The first scenario is a tough one for the Germans and in the first running of the scenario the Germans did pretty dismally, each time you retry the scenario the attacking German get slightly more support points giving them an advantage.

In the last running my Germans focussed down the left but got horribly shot up, game for anything I pushed the jump off points down the right this time. With some good/lucky early dice rolling the Germans were able to throw back the French grenadiers. With an extra support points the Germans had been able to bring a 75mm infantry gun to try and handle any French armour ?

Again with some luck and after three attempts they managed to knock out the French R35 this was a real bonus for the Germans throwing the french onto the back foot.

Instead of the Stuka we tried an off table Mortar barrage which whilst dramatic wasn’t actually very effective, but it did hold the french down

The Germans were then able to concentrate their fire on the French left driving them back with surprisingly few loses to the Germans. A real turn around form the last playing and just shows who dice rolling and a bit of luck helps. Certainly the German deployment down the right using the buildings to break up the french helped.

With all this excitement I spent the evening finishing another unit of Roundheads for the ECW project. I’m stilling basing them as 15’s but can’t decide if 10’s would be better. I will try some more random cavalry in the next few days.

Hopefully a game at the weekend as yet undecided and ACW next week.

Thanks as always Matt ❤️
