The game was a chance meeting between British Expeditionary troops and a German force. We modified the rules a bit from the last time we played by doubling the ranges of all weapons. It made the game much more bloody and shooting more satisfying.
The table was set up with a small farming community in the center surrounded by fields. Each side deployed along the long table edge. Each side had 3 players and each player commanded 3 units of 8 infantry and 1 support weapon.

After a couple hours a few of the lads had to leave. The Germans where on the verge of securing the right half of the table right after the British had taken the left. The game still could have gone either way but the Germans had more unites still on the table when we called it a day.
