winterbadger | excellent game! (Reply)

I played my second full Flames of War game today, again against the charming (if rascally) and goodsportsmanly Frank Popecki of the Iron Fist League. My Indians (Coy. A, 1/1st Punjab Regiment, 141 Indian Brigade, 4th Indian Division, 1940) held out for a long time against a German panzergrenadier company, but he had overrun my Royal Artillery battery early on, so it was hard to damage his heavier targets, and he out machinegunned me seriously. Frank's dice are always atrocious, and mine are usually better than average when I play him, so he took a long time to grind me down. :-) 1st Platoon even took out a platoon of German assault guns with their sticky bombs (a horrible weapon to use, from what I've read), but int he end he simply pounded me into the ground. Next time I will take a few more chances and use the fearlessness of my brave jawans to better advantage.

Off for a little bike riding before A. comes over to go to the Screaming Eagles tailgate and the DC-Houston match with me.
