At german HQ, local patrol is starting on its rounds ...

The resistance on the move ...

Hurry up chaps ! ..

Resistance duck down behind a hedge to avoid detection by a motorbike & sidecar ...

The german patrol works its way to the high ground ...

They see nothing, resistance fighters are well hidden ...

Resistance fighter fires on the sentry at the german HQ ...

More resistance close in and firing hots up

The resistance knockout an armoured car and also the motorbike & sidecar ...

The fighting continues by the german HQ ..

The sound of the gunfire has drawn the patrol back as well as second patrol that was out nearer the town; the resistance fall back ...

Airmen and their escort move across the fields now the german patrol has been distracted ...

They arrive at the safe house - Here we are chaps; get inside quick ...

A nice little game and we found the Hit the Dirt ruleset suited us better - (as it is for 1:1 scale small actions).

Some more work to do: scenics - some better roads; troops - probably add extra british paratroopers and more germans before we have another game.
