Christmas Game -Rules of Engagement

Sheffield Wargames Society always have aChristmas Games day which this year started at 12.30 and continued until 8pm allowing time to undertake a bigger game or games and enjoy the supplied buffet as well .This year we played a Rules of Engagement scenario .Brits v Germans in the desert ,the game was a christmas cracker , Both sides advancing the German 222 advanced and bravely fired on the British Armour to no avail and the infantry rushing to dig in .Turn 2 saw the Brit tank return fire on the German armored car only to miss wildly ,the 222 responded and caused minor damage but this resulted in killing some of the crew and the rest bailed out and legged it , things got worse for the Brits with a well aimed burst from a HMG taking out the British HQ and the Pziv catching a section of tommies in the open ,things started to look bad for the gallent tommies . Turn 3 started with a boys anti tank rifle  taking a shot at the Pziv to no avail what so ever ,next revenge was sought with fire being trained on my Hq unit and on my HMG and my infantry on my right flank ,poor shooting and some bad dice rolls resulted on only 1 hit on my HQ unit which was deflected by a cigar case sent over for Xmas to one of the young jerries . Return fire was more accurate and the Brits reached thier break point and started to retire from the battle . Figures a mix of artizan and warlord ,vehicles a mix of s&s warlord and others,  scenery airfix and anyscale plus other oddments
