This week as well as our normal Friday night game I also welcomed Stu over from Cirencester for a Saturday game of VfV.
Our Friday night game saw the Commonwealth forces trying to capture three buildings from my defending DAK. The 8th Army had 8 points of reinforcements to add to their core force and I had 4 points. Most of the allied points went into buying a Honey whilst I went with extra infantry and an A/T gun.
With the DAK deploying first the allies made a mistake in trying to push the entire front line rather than concentrating on one end or the other. They could have massed on one side of the line of hills to avoid the A/T gun and deployed MMG.
In the end I was able to neutralise two of the Sikh infantry teams meaning that they didn't have enough manpower to assault any of the buildings and despite taking a pounding from the tank and mortar was never really in any danger of losing a building.
The second game once again saw the DAK on the defensive with the 8th Army this time attempting to get vehicles off the opposite table edge to score VP's.
It was a somewhat cautious advance to start off with by the allies but given the movement range of vehicles it was actually rather easy for them to zoom an Indian Pattern Carrier off and secure an unassailable points lead.
