 One Hour Skirmish Wargames on the table. A Sherman has been knocked out and medics try frantically to get the wounded back to their lines for treatment and safety. It is going well until a German patrol shows up. With the medics and wounded pinned down a squad of paratroopers is tasked with the rescue Game will be played with 20mm Battlefield Miniatures figures with a Heller Brand Sherman and medics are plastic Forces of Valor figures. |

 Both sides make a dash for the tank. At the moment the tank is blocking LOS for the most part. The Germans had two hit but only one was KIA. Yes Em, FOV figures were nice, Target sold them in sets at one time. I have more somewhere. A lot of accessories came with them also. All the stuff like pushcarts, lampposts, barrels etc etc I use in my town fights is FOV. |

 Germans get the corner first and inflict three casualty hits. |

 Good order Para's make contact with the medics and begin to cover their withdrawal. |

 The Para's get the first activation and have more then enough to begin their withdrawal getting the stretcher bearers into safety. The four remaining Para's are just short of cover. |

 The Para's again get first activation and get back to their own line. Game ends in a Para's victory. The boys from the 101st suffered 50% casualties with 4 KIA plus the 1 walking wounded killed. But they brought the stretcher bearers with their casualty back. The Germans suffered 3 KIA and left 2 casualties on the field when the game ended. The game ended on turn 6 of 7. Approximately 90 minutes including this in game report. |

Nice game AAR… as I said, I always love a recur mission and this was a great one. The cost of Leaver No Man Behind can be high. Looks like the paratroopers having no great cover was a dealbreaker in casualties… did the brewed up tank make a big difference in German’s defense posture?
