Talking to one of my pals from my new club over the weekend, and he mentioned how big a game could be put on using Rapid Fire?. Back in 2013 I took part in a Normandy 1944 game in Plymouth on a 54 foot table, with a few friends!
Table 1
Table 2
Table 3
Table 4
Table 5
Table 6 The Table I played on Carentan
Table 7
Table 8
Table 9
US 2nd Armored's objective were clear- Secure the two Southern bridges and Carentan and then on to St. Jean de Day and Auverville to the far west of the table.
Table 6 Carentan on Right Forces - US 2nd Armoured Vs 17th SS Division
1st turn -US
German
Some of my troops on the next table(to my right, table7)
3rd turn - US, the fight for Carentan begins and lasted the whole game
US taking the centre bridge
Fighting over the southern bridge.
4th turn
StuGs move up, whilst GI's occupy house west of the canal (building on right)
More US troops pile in to Carentan to aid their buddies
BANG!!
2 direct hits to the US M10's and Halftrack, Other M10 failed morale and retired two moves
US Amour held up by StuGs in center and misses with all their firing
6th turn - US Artillery did not hit a thing all game till turn 6, when it took out a lot of the SS troops in the field west of the canal, attacking the bdg
My US Paras, on table 7, were pushing across the table
The first Stug went up in turn 6( I think) Lots of brewed US armour
8th turn
Reinforcements engage west of Carentan
Turn 8 Other tables.
US reinforcements arrive - Infantry
And armour :lol:
9th turn - Obscured shot on the StuG- Bang!- forced morale and remaining Stug routed
My Paras from table 7, break into Carentan from the South
Para Howitzers
Last attempt to occupy house west of central bridge failed!
US Halftracks burst out from Carentan to attack German reinforcements
Carentan finally occupied by US forces
US now making in roads across the river, Table 7
Allied Victory by the end of play. Chinese Buffet for grub and drinks
