Bolt Action - Deep in the Jungle

I was horribly disorganised for a Pacific game of Bolt Action this week with Andy Singleton's American Marines in the Marquis pub. We had arranged 1000pts but I could only find half my army so I plonked down about 750 and Andy kindly let me be the defender.

Above my loyal troops are getting ready to die for the Emperor.

The battle raged and I killed Andy's howitzer with a single lucky mortar shell but things started to go wrong and my Ha Go took a 75mm armour piercing through the tinfoil masquerading as its frontal armour.I moved up to reclaim the initiative with a full Banzai charge.

And was met by a hail of fire which gunned down my entire left wing and all the suicide bombers on the right wing - who never got near the Sherman. I lost six units in a single turn.

Ah well, not to worry, eh?

    1. Not sure. All green stuff looks alike to me.

  2. That board has a some serious LOS-blocking terrain. Always nice to get that cool sculptured head in a game.

    1. Especially as the Japanese lacked a cool head, sculptered or otherwise, for a commander.
