15mm WW1 "Battle of Peronne" Battle Report Part 2.

At the beginning of each turn you also had to roll for who got to go first or second, the British got a +1 each turn to the dice roll because they were attacking (I won 2 of 16 turns!).

Remember the name......

I started emptying the dugouts, the H token represents special tank busting grenades (3 grenades strapped together).

The first tank (French) to approach the wire.....

Infantry racing along the lines, safe from fire as long as they didn't get up on the firing steps...

A captured Mk IV male tank approaches from the village, this is how the Germans countered the allied tanks by capturing any allied tanks they could....

The view from the trenches....

You had to roll to cross the trenches, don't roll high and cue the maniacal laughter.....

The facine this tank is carrying is to fill the gap in the trenches and there are no more trench rolls and access is easier....

My captured tank makes a short appearance, not getting to go first was a chore at times....

The attrition rate for the allies was mounting.....

A close up of a St Chamond French tank....

Every turn you rolled for duds among your off table artillery and you discarded a dice...

This is a bloody lot of duds, the German war machine was suffering....

More maniacal laughter as more tanks break down or are blown up....

2 French tanks (a Schneider and a Renault F17) try the flank and pay the price....

Willy makes it across the wire.....this brought the first and only morale check which I passed!

A Schneider ditches in the trenches, these tanks were dealt with by the infantry with flamethrowers and hand grenades....

Willy is close to the edge.....

I threw everything into the area, I was willing to sacrifice everything to destroy the last British tank...

Another view of the carnage.....

Regardless of all the dice I threw in the last turns (8 attempts at a 5 or 6 on a D6 and even with some Elvis dice rolling) came to nothing as the last of 21 allied tanks limped off the board, It had virtually no crew or officers left but to no avail as the allies scraped the victory....

The winners and their award, smug lucky gits......
