We had a go at Operation Lightfoot from the Duel in the Sun book. The full report is here

In brief there was little decision making involved after the initial army listing and terrain layout. Even the army lists were pretty nailed down in the scenario. Allowing or preventing rough areas in front of the German line are the big game changer. This would determine if the final British charge was from 12" or 6". The night rules worked well enough and were not hard to follow. As the night rules prevent just about any interaction above 18" the entire first turn could be easily skipped and replaced with a few special rules (full details on the blog). The British charged up and started to roll up the German line from 1 end. There was not enough time to roll up and contest the whole line so the Germans pulled off a win. We used -1 for dug in as with our last game to match the v1 down rules which dug in was originally based on. |
