Tanks – BEF Breakthrough Pt I

Decided to get on it and set up Tanks downstairs.  First chance to use BEF armor.

Threw out tiles and randomly slapped terrain mats down for a fight between Matildas and light German armor.

British orders were for the the Matildas to exploit a breakthrough (a quasi often gamed Arras maybe-it-would-have-been-something-decisive scenario).

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth I settled on ratings for the Matildas.

The Pz II Defense Rating Should Be A “1”

The machine gun armed Matilda I is virtually useless against armor, but can hammer German infantry.  The Matilda IIs guided the little waddlers, while fending off the German armor.

The Panzers pressed their attacks, but the combination of British armor thickness and good die rolls were too much.

Another fun, fast game.  Next up……Matildas vs. The Panzer Varsity (Mk IIIs and MK IVs).
