Indeed it seems history has not done justice to the action of the 28th Division, it seems Bastogne may have been saved because of these small, determined actions that have been lost in the bigger narrative of the Bulge.The Tactical Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980190745315043364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-85092440306046402592021-04-03T21:30:58.291+11:002021-04-03T21:30:58.291+11:00Thanks Dennis, happy to deliver you something enjo...Thanks Dennis, happy to deliver you something enjoyable to read with your morning coffee!The Tactical Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980190745315043364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-55411001788339341232021-04-03T21:29:46.718+11:002021-04-03T21:29:46.718+11:00Thanks Peter. It seems you are probably right! You...Thanks Peter. It seems you are probably right! You are only allowed one interrupt per phase, however there is nothing in the interrupt rules that covers using a CoC die to fire at an ambush unit before it leaves the table. The section on ambush talks about Overwatch units being able to fire and 'likewise' you may use a CoC die to have someone do the same. Now, is that an interrupt as per the interrupt rules or is it some other special use of a CoC die? You could argue either way. I'm coming around to the view that it is an interrupt and therefore only one is allowed but the rules are not 100% clear on this.

Easily the best AAR's with a great balance between narrative, rules and strategy.<br /><br />I have a re-familiarisation game tomorrow with Dave 'Digits' Frederick using British infantry and PzGrenadiers to clear out the rust on the rules. Then, we get to start our own Bloody Bucket campaign. I am sure Digits will post his photos and AAR on the Lead Adventure Forum.<br /><br />Bravo!<br />Jamie Burrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263510946905388244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-59206524054157064722021-04-03T01:09:38.328+11:002021-04-03T01:09:38.328+11:00Second to last paragraph is very moving.
