THE SONS OF SIMON DE MONTFORTGallipoli 1915 - Assault on the Pinnacleby Simon Breen |
It's April 1915, the allies have landed and have been unable to capture the Gallipoli peninsular. For this scenario the British and French are trying to capture the all important hill at…….. It is essential that the Turks hold this area at all costs.
In the first turn Dave’s flying French platoon managed to race across no-mans land, leap over the barb wire only to meet stiff Turkish resistance. Mustafa Martyn’s Turks had to shoot everything they had to pin the devilish French before they get a chance to assault the trench. The Turkish Trench mortar was in fine form hitting both the French platoon and a Turkish Platoon. In the mean time Gary’s British company were sneaking up un-noticed.
Turn 2 & 3: Martyn decided to blast away the French company, Dave was only left with 1 platoon and his command section but Martyn took a lot of casualties in the process. Gary’s British dashed to the trench, assaulted the defenders who were pinned down and wiped out 2 Turkish Platoons taking the trench. At this point it looked like the British were going to sweep the table clear of Turks and reach the objective. But night intervened.
Thanks to Marcus and Ian for lending me the Brits and French.
The club wishes to thank Simon Breen for presenting and umpiring this game.
