Hell Hath No Fury - British V Italian Desert War co-op @ SWWG

This was our last game at SWWG before Nye headed back to sea.again. We took lots of pictures and very few notes so apologies if this one is a bit sparse on the details.

It's the early years of the Desert War and British Forces are pushing back the Italian forces that invaded into Egypt. Two infantry Platoons are tasked to operate with Tank support to clear any Italian forces discovered in a small desert town.

First Platoon deployed on the right flank and began a cautious advance.
 

On the left flank the second platoon got into cover while its armour support advanced up the road.

Second Platoon soon make contact with Italian Armour lurking behind one of the buildings

A game of cat and mouse see's the Italian Armour knocked out

As Second Platoon advance however they come under fire from an Italian Infantry Platoon in one of the town buildings.

First Platoon on the right flank have advanced into contact with Italian Armour hull down behind a wall

The Brits continue to advance deeper into the town , eliminating more Italian Armour and after a fierce fire fight driving the Italian infantry from the the buildings

An interesting game that gave the Brits the victory but not without a few hiccups and some expense in infantry.  I still really need to run this solo to get into the deeper nity grity of controlling the tanks crew to fight the tank.
