Resistance Fighters

Resistance fighters are now ready for action (all from Caeser) ...

Attack on supply depot ...

Getting it together, having enough painted troops for a trial game using Rapid Fire rules

An overview of the setup, target is German supply depot in middle of table. British commandos enter along railway line at front of table; British paratroopers as the back of the table in the middle ..

---oXo---

All is quiet at the supply depot ...

Meanwhile at German HQ in the nearby village they are preparing to send out patrols (they have received vague intel on a possible paratroop landing)

The paratroops assemble (not quite where they should have been dropped) ..

The commandos move up the railway line ...

Recce patrol asks if they have seen anything at the supply depot ...

As the recce patrol move off to check down the road, the commandos open fire ..

Meanwhile the paratroops approach the railway line ....

Commandos attack the supply depot ...

The paratroops ccross the railway line to attack the German local HQ ....

Exchange of fire near the local HQ ...

The commandos fall back after taking heavy casualties ( the paratroopers also fall back ...)

---oxo---

Game over - British troops retire back towards their lines ...

Nice little game, we found the Rapid Fire rules not quite suitable for the small numbers on each side.  Will try another ruleset which are more 1:1 skirmish based - which is closer to the sort of games we'll be playing.

Downed british aircrew ..

A couple of british aircrew from CP models...

Any idea where we are Algy ??
