In the case of the squad in the stables, the British command group had higher Reps, so they had a decent chance of winning the insight test, firing first and getting at least a duckback result. The second MG team wasn't hit initially but was again forced into duckback because they were ambushed whilst patrolling by the British section on the far side. It is on the edge between a slight exploit and good play I guess: you can work out the most likely routes (but not timings) that PEFs will take and set up ambushes upon them.<br />I think Nuts! works very well from 1-20 figures/side. I think double that is doable but at some cost in both time and head-scratching (from multiple, interlocking in-sight tests).JWHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637785437909299947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-72349651077538035102019-12-08T03:15:31.157+00:002019-12-08T03:15:31.157+00:00Unlucky with the tank, and I think the Brits were ...Unlucky with the tank, and I think the Brits were lucky otherwise. Facing a few MMGs I would have thought it unlikely that any would make it! After a good job suppressing the first MG, the tank and 2nd MG just seemed to make it a little too hard to push all of the Brits forward.<br /><br />I did read your first report and I had a question on it I forgot to pose which was how did you find NUTS! with so many figures? I see that this one has less and you comment it is the sweet spot (reduced platoon). I think this is where NUTS shines - anything from about 1-4 sections seems to work really well.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-66091697902007733062019-12-06T18:13:37.959+00:002019-12-06T18:13:37.959+00:00Thanks Steve.

Yes, it was a bit of a shock, especially since they didn't have a meaningful weapon to use against it (the Platoon's anti-tank rifle had been lost in the previous scenario)...JWHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637785437909299947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-54661256186757577472019-12-05T21:19:21.241+00:002019-12-05T21:19:21.241+00:00Another cracking game, but that Panzer turning up ...Another cracking game, but that Panzer turning up must have been a shock for the Brits!Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.com
