I've refought this engagement a number of times using different systems. This time me and Alex used "Combat Patrol".
I'll not detail the history here, its widely available, suffice to say that during the Falklands war a 19 man patrol from the M&AWC assaulted Top Malo House which was occupied by 17 men of Commando 602. The Argentine forces did not have sentries posted.
Scenario played in 20mm. Dougie
Here's an overview of the board. 602 deployed in Top Malo House, M&AWC enter from the top of the table.
Close ups of the boards
Figures and cards
To ease play I used a floor plan for the internal layout of the building
Alex deployed the Brits and began his assault
After 602 were woken by the assault I tried to deploy my troops outside and into the cover of the stream bed.
At this point the building got 66'd (M72 LAW) which caused mass casualties to my troops inside, numerous dead and stunned !
It was probably endex for me at this stage but my troops outside tried to hold the Brits off to no great effect albeit causing some casualties from the ground floor windows by a couple of 66 survivors. Alex close assaulted the stream bed causing more casualties and at this point 602 called it a day and surrendered.
The system worked well, its very quick with very little consulting rules as virtually all the info is on the cards.
At Endex the Brits had captured the house at a cost of 4 KIA and 2 wounded. 602 suffered 11 KIA, 2 wounded, 1 run off and the remainder surrendered.
