I played this in the first week of January. It is game 4 in the Britton Publishing Operation Jupiter scenario book. Game 4 sees a section and platoon HQ vs 3 snipers and 2 missions off off board 88mm HE. I upscaled the ratio to use my own rules but kept the same number of figures on the table. I wondered how my rules would hold up with snipers. They did fine. Full battle report on my blog, although the pictures are mainly just showing the whittling down of the British forces as they advance: link And here is one of the snipers in a tree:

As the British player my one question would be, where is my smoke? Advaning into snipers with HE coiming in, I want cover and the platoon 2" mortars are designed and used exactly that way. |

Fredd, Absolutely right. For the first three scenarios, I put in a 2" mortar but (have no idea why) I left them out of this one. Definitely would have helped the British a bit. |

That and the odd HE mortar round into the trees would have made the snipers very wary. |

It's a very interesting idea for a scenario. I'll have to take a look at that book. Thanks for showing it off! |
