This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a Bolt Action game.
The Envelopment Scenario in the Bolt Action rule book was used. It was based on the fighting around the city of Kohmia in May 1944, between the British 2nd Division and the Japanese 15th Division. The Japanese were attempting to envelop a British position and capture a road junction behind the British lines.
The Japanese will get the most victory points for exiting units off the table behind the British lines.
Only one vehicle was used.
The thin red line.
Japanese troops advance rapidly all across the front.
The center units exchange fire with the British while the flank units continue to advance. Most of the early fire fights were on the Japanese center and right.
The Japanese left turns the British flank using a low hill for cover.
Units begin exiting the table. Two British squads are destroyed, one by a Banzai charge.
The tank is confined to the roads, so moves right to support the infantry assault there.
After a stalwart defense, the British left flank is driven off.
