CoC Vs Bolt Action Pt 2.

Posted on by willitongamers in Chain of Command

A few days on from our last game Colin came round again, this time for a game of Bolt Action. Our intention was to use the same forces, or as close to as possible as those used in the previous Chain of Command game. Points wise this worked out at thoroughly 460 points per side.

The British

  • 2nd Lt
  • Free Artillery FO
  • 3 sections of 10 infantry incl LMG team
  • Light Mortar

The Germans

  • 2nd Lt
  • 10 man infantry incl LMG, 2x Assault Rifles & 2x SMG’s
  • 10 man infantry section as above
  • 10 man infantry section as above but no assault rifles.

Unfortunately I didn’t keep track of the turns so this is purely going from the photos taken but the general gist of the game should be the same.

The Germans get the first die out of the bag and deploy one of their infantry sections.

The German right flank comes under sustained fire from British infantry sheltering in the ruins. The difference in cover takes it's toll on the Germans, loosing two men and sustaining pins.

The continued fire on the German left flank results the German section breaking and moving back towards the rear edge of the table.

The centre doesn't look much better where one of the German sections is wiped out.

The end of the game sees a victory for the British ( one die to them for wiping out the German infantry section). We didn't play any particular scenario so there where no victory points for objectives etc.
