AVBCW Hereford 2017 11 04 5

They claimed they were Police.

Having chewed up one or was it two units of Criag’s in the King’s Acre Woods, the Plod arrived, newly bought by crag at the lunch time auction.

he also pushed his command unit forward, which got massacred by a well aimed LMG burst of fire, and then his commander dies with a second LMG. Tragic. Such a sad story.

The Red re-dploy but make a complete hash of it and have a road block.

Roo was the only winner here, with his field gun raining death down on the unfortunate DrAlzheimer (GenialJim) and his patients !

Big view of the big table !

The Reds also deployed Human Wave tactics (Chairman Maos was watching), resulting in a dust off between GenialJim and Rob leading to mass casualties and Rob losing almost all his infantry. Curiously Loo’s infantry survived. 😉

meanwhile the killing zone in the woods continued to chew up sections, I’d lost 1.5 units, and Craig at least 3 when Alan’s troops arrived and added to the mayhem.

All along Rob and Too were trying to un-nerve me with unsubtle hints Alan was about to betray me. Pull the other one it has bells on.

Hand to hand in the woods !

Craig’s ungentlemanly cricketers fared no better in the woods either.

Whilst GenialJim’s Clockwork man got to work on the Reds !

They’re Dead Dave, they’re all Dead.

Or running away.

The end of the game…Dr Alzheimer (GenialJim and I caught in the middle suffered grievous losses, not least when I rolled really badly and the recalcitrant natives of Hereford decided to revert to pebbles for their coinage.

The field truce between Anglicans and HRH had held, just, and the Reds were the beta noire of the county.

A return match is likely ion the spring, by which I should have anew house, and new forces to bring to bear on the false Bishop and his cronies…
