This game was actually played way back in April, but following my purchase of an historical property in Victor Colorado, and weeks of work in the building, Im finally returning to my blog.
This is the view from over the Danish defensive position. This contains one squad of a bicycle platoon tasked with defending the border region. The German armored/mechanized (yes, tanks and armored cars against bicycle troops!) is seen approaching form the top-left corner.
Showing the left hand squads (x2) on the left of the Danish position...
After taking initial fire from the Danes (top/photo), the Germans quickly unload to begin their assault while a PZ I deploys to the right and two AC and a Pz II remain on the road...
Spotting the heavy Danish MG after it opened fir on the German column, MG fire from the AC causes the Danish crew to become Shaken (Yellow Cap)...
Facing only MG fire from the Danes, the German Pz II crashes into the Danish line along the edge of the wood. Nothing the Danes can do...
Two German M/C crews are shot down as they lead the rest of the column down the road. MG and rifles cannot be expected to stop armor, but that is the situation these Danes found themselves on the morning of 9 April.
This game was more of an attempt to play out the wonderful Danish film 9 April as anything else. Despite the complete inequality in terms of game play, it turned out to be a fun exercise.
