Joe's City Board.
My Son Evan, Chris Yallouris and I got together at Joe's this weekend for a game of bolt action on his new city board.
The game was 2000pts each and was between Germans and Americans.
My son Evan and I took the Americans and Chris and Joe the Germans.
Joe's board looks fantastic. Unfortunately we still need more buildings to fill it.
Joe is working overtime to pump them out.
The objective was to capture and hold the three bridges on the board.
We started playing the game at 2:30pm and ended up finishing about 9pm.
Americans were all regulars with two HQ's and eight 12 man Squads. 2 Sniper teams, 2 Bazooka teams, a flame thrower team , 1 Sherman 76mm and an M36 Jackson tank destroyer.
The Germans a mix with an SS squad thrown in and 4 veteran infantry squads armed to the teeth with panzerfuasts, 1 Tiger tank, 1 Kubelwagon, 1 Pak 40 ATG. 3 half tracks, 2 HQs, a sniper team , 1 HMG team, 1 Panzershreck team and a heavy mortar.
In the end the superior number of Americans won the game.
This was one of the most enjoyable games we have had in a while.
Thanks Joe for the fantastic board.
