Advancing tank with infantry support from the 2:nd squad.

Corporal Snabb used his terrain going bicycle to ride up on a small hill with a good wiew of the surounding area, a perceft place for some Fika and FO duty...

The white troops advance on their left flank, 1st squad aiming for the barn and  the Support squad deploing their light mortar in cover of the hill.

As the white approached along the road the Miners HMG opened fire from their possition by the crossroad.

3rd squad advanced through the forest to seize the filling station....

The tank gave some protection but the 2nd squad took the first casualty´s from the HMG fire, 2 men down...

The Miners 1st squad along with Supervisor Göransson advanced svift to the barn and found good firing positions...

Especially as the Whites 1st squad tried to advance in the open forward the barn, not even in the cover of the pigies the Miners could miss...

General white adbvance...

Red reinforcement in arrive by APC, the 2nd squad embarke and starts to advance to meet the white´s with coold steel and a heavy flamer...

The slowly approacing tank opened fire...it was devastating for the Red´s as the whole HMG section was obliterated... Supervisor Sprängare managed to escape the shower of bullets with just a scratch...

As the whites 3rd section capture the filling station, their 1st section dosn´t have the same luck as they and the pigs start to squall as the Miners in the barn open fire...you should never advance in the open...

The remaining men of the whites 1st section manage to take cover in a small forest, as the white deploys their HMG on the hill...

The Miners APC open fire at the Tank with their AT rifle...

...all to no vain...

Solid advance by the whites drilled troops.

In a desperate attempt to deal with the tank the Miners send their heavy flamer forward...

End possitions of our game...

Indeed a very enjoyable game, the Donnybrook rules work very fine and give good and interesting games.
