Recap of 2nd 7-29-2009 battle at the Realm

After the first game (FFA), Paul and I decided on a Hold the Line with him defending with the same forces in the first game.

Key moment of the battle. Paul fails a Stormtrooper roll. I stopped my line and opened up with ROF 2 with 7 tanks and scored several hits. Unfortunately, the FP rolls aren't as good and Paul escapes with only two lost tanks.

Shhhhh...maybe the stug won't notice us

Whoops, lost tanks to bogging. Germans in retreat!

Gap in the photos. Many were blurry. Paul skillfully stormtroopered, defended the objective and then picked apart my forces from concealment. My dice couldn't hit anything after the first key moment when Paul's forces stalled on the hill. My tanks are burning and it's game over. Good game, Paul!
