Battle Report: Tanks in the Desert!

Just a quick Bolt Action WW2 AAR.

Recently the tiny COVID restricted band of weary lads got together at Dan's place to play a game in his garage.  I packed up my dice and tape measure and went over for a fun day of gaming.

John Lantz has recently finished up his desert WW2 forces and wanted to host a game.  This was just a tank duel in the desert - keeping it simple, but very fun.  No hard math or thinking much beyond "there're over there, get'em!"

I had a blast - John and I pulled out a victory playing with the 8th army forces.

Before jumping into some pictures - John brought along this super handy and very awesome player aid!  A gaming periscope!  We used this for all LOS and it worked excellently.  I've ordered 4 for my own games!  You to can grab one of these puppies right here.

Just look at those juicy targets!  My dice actually didn't suck for once so I was able to put lots of holes in those German tanks!

Table setup was easy-peasy.  The mat has been rolled up for a while but after about 30 minutes had settled.

Lots of explody tanks on fire.  I lost 3 of my 6 crusader tanks.  John managed to not loose a single Grant of his 3.  It was certainly a change of pace using tanks with light AT ... shells just kept bouncing off the armour.

That's it for today folks!
