Last night we played a game of What a Tanker based on the Arab/Israeli wars. The objective of the game was for the Syrians to capture the orchard and cross-roads.
The Israeli tanks quickly got into defensive positions...
Whilst the Syrians advanced cautiously.
But not cautious enough as the first T55 brewed up from a lucky shot by the Sho’t Cal in the scrub.
This took the heart out of the Syrian advance and they now became even more cautious, rarely showing themselves. With the Syrians being too cautious for the IDF they decided to advance.
The Sho’t Cal on the hill managed a couple of shots at the Syrians but failed to hit anything.
Throwing caution to the wind and with lucky dice rolls the Syrians advanced into the village.
It now depended on who got the initiative first. Luckily it was the IDF and the Super Sherman got a flank shot into the T55. Boom.
Tony raced his T55 across the open ground to start a game of cat and mouse with Dave’s Sho’t Cal. Luck was with Dave as he managed a rear shot, causing two dice of temporary damage.
Rob advanced his last T55 and managed a shot at the Super Sherman. Lots of dice were rolled and the IDF drew a breath of relief as only one hit was achieved which the thin armour managed to shrug off.
Unfortunately for Rob, Greg’s Sho’t Cal got behind him and quickly dispatched the tank.
It was all down to Tony and his damaged T55, but seeing as the objectives were now impossible to achieve the game was called.
