Bolt Action – Normandy 1944

January 10, 2015

This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a Bolt Action game. German forces defend three objectives against a British assault. The terrain table was by Real Terrain.

Elements of the British 185th Brigade push south toward Caen from Sword Beach just after D-Day on June 8th 1944. The Germans are troops from the 716th Infantry Division.

: The two British tanks can only cross using this bridge.

: British infantry advance on the left.

: A German reinforcement arrives.

: After surviving lots of fire, the Churchill is knocked out.

British infantry on the left clear one objective of defenders, but the attack in the center fails as most of the infantry and both British tanks are eliminated.
