A Brief but glorious moment.....
This game constantly surprises.....
I cannot even recall the number of times harassing fire of 1 or 2 DF has demoralized, when 16-20 does nothing...
But a glorious moment...
My (currently feverish) well schooled, tactically experienced opponent ran his Pz1 platoon around and behind my meagre lines
....sweeping round my dugin units....trying to block watergand constrained movement channels...
A Bren carrier---with a tactically wise, but morale enhancement feeble, Major of the Guards jumped into a Bren Carrier and Extended assaulted
the Pz1s from 2 hexes away....the Pz got an OPfire shot off on the approach to no avail against the AFV Bren...
and the Assault ensured...... 5 for the Pz1 and 9 for the Bren with Officer......no impact from the Pz1...but the Bren rolled boxcars....12....
2 steps......Pz1 disappeared....
Sometimes the clouds part, and the sun comes out (of course being in Thailand that generally means a new front is pushing in over the Burmese
gulf...it is Monsoon season, after all....)
We were both silent for a moment.....
Some times this game makes me crazy ....(rolling 7s during major DF or BF)...
but sometimes....sigh....
A brief bright moment before the crash of a German battalion hits my minor defenses.....
