FOW Operation Sealion part 2 "The Train"

Ran the second game of FOW today in the Sealion Campaign
this time Somerset was the location.
We decided and urged by Steve of WWPD I used my new Train,
picking a panzer grenadier unit and my mate had his US tank
company.
The sceanario was surrounded so the train became the centre
line defence, the US armour attacking from both sides


The GErma advance force occupies the village holding the
train lines

The 1/2 track panzer grenadiers sat and waited in the vehicle

The US armour and artillery get in position

As the train arrives the US tank destroyes advance to get good

shots

The mighty beast trumbles inot the village

US armoured rifles move to take the left side of the road

The shermas on the left engage the PZIVs from an hill top

The rigth shermans and HQ advance and engage

thepanzer grenadiers in the woods right of the train

a brutal fire figththe shermas fail and loose 2 tanks

to the troops only the command remains holding his

panzerfaust that served him well

The train opens up on the US army

Taking fire it returns like a battle ship, the german scouts

make a play for the objectives

A lone pz38 stalks the remaing sherma HQ fires and his shot is

saved bt he is behind them now

The German puma's fire on the US motor rifles

The train moves up to a better field of fire pouring shells

and machine guns but only holding the US

The shermans bail the pz38 but he climbs back in realising

they did no damage

The US tank destroyer pick off the train cars but are traded in shots

The US motot rifles charge the pumas to be repulsed

The pz38 knocks out a tank destroyer causeing the whole

unit to flee

The panzer VIs take too much fire and back off the field

The train is shoot to pieces byt he US tanks and guns

the HQ again tried to destroy the pz38 to no avail

The motor rifles take the pumas out after a long fight

The train is abandoned and the German take ther leave of

the village the US are the winners

The train is left burning in the village

Hero fo the day the pz38 he never stopped and took out a

unit alone

The game was real fun to play, using the train for the first time

it a monster and can cause a heck of alot of damage. we all

enjoyed the battle..

Evry FOW is different and what wargame should be fun
