French Border Incident - After Action Report

Page 1 of 2

The Italians have just crossed the border, and advanced a few kilometres. The French have initially retired and the Italians have settled down to consolidate their gains. The following day the French launch a counterattack, just off table behind the Italians is an important French border town - the French objective of the counter attack is to break through and relieve it.

Some of the paint jobs on the figures is a bit rough so there aren't too many close ups etc, as the troops were in the process of being rebased and needed some 'washing' and/or dry brushing to bring the detail up better... As a result we only took a few photos of this game. There are 8 Photos in this Gallery. 

The opening shots - an initial French probe up the left flank gets hit hard. In the front an R-35 has bought it, and elements of the leading platoon have been suppressed. Visible to the rear is a French M1897 75mm from the Divisional Anti-Tank Company.

Close up of the scene in the first photograph - an R-35 has brewed up (hit by fire from an Italian 65mm Infantry Gun), and the leading French Rifle Platoon has has some stands suppressed or pinned as they moved into the open or along the road.

Another Panoramic view - this time from behind the centre of the Italian positions.
