Memoir '44 initial test game

Activate B,L,K

Move L North East one.
Move B SE onto the hill.

Activate K

@RossM asked for a die roll:
L attacks tank 13

2 dice - 1 for elevation = 1

d6: 5

@RossM asked for a die roll:
B attacks tanks 13

Same elevation = 3 dice

3d6: 6 + 3 + 4 = 13

Two losses and a retreat.

I believe I can overrun?

Yes. Let’s see where 13 retreats to, but you can indeed overrun.

Retreat SE

@RossM asked for a die roll:
Overrun attack

3d6: 5 + 5 + 2 = 12

A big old miss.

So. Can K now see 13?

Yes i believe so.

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Yes, if your line of sight goes along hexsides, you can ignore obstacles either on the left or on the right - but if you have obstacles on both sides, even if they’re in different places, it’s blocked.

We should now have battle dice:
{battle 3} only in square brackets
battle 3: 2 × Armor, Star

@RossM asked for a die roll:
Ok K fires 13

battle 3: 2 × Grenade, Infantry

13 wiped out. End of turn.

@Griffster77 asked for a die roll:
Play attack right flack (3 units)

Activating 1, 4 and 8. Only 1 is moving - East one space, then NE two spaces (so he’s SW of the bend in the river)

1 will fire at J - battle 3: Star, Flag, Armor
8 will fire at I - battle 2: Infantry, Grenade
(4 will wait to see what happens)

@Griffster77 asked for a die roll:
4 will fire at I - battle 1: Grenade

I wiped out, J reduced to 1 tank

Score Axis 2 – Allies 1 at the end of the Axis turn.

Working things out as I’m still learning the game:

  • the Armor roll removes one tank from J, and the Flag effectively removes another in lieu of the retreat he can’t do.
  • 8 would be rolling 3 dice for a range 1 attack, but drops 1 because of the woods.

Score Axis 2 – Allies 2 at the end of the Allied turn. (Unless 8 wants to move into the woods to Take Ground.)

Good point - might need to check the rules for armour firing in woods before I do that! :slight_smile:

(edited following quick check of the rules) OK, Armour would fire a -2 but armour would be a -1. Soooooo, yes go on then, I will move 8 NE into the woods.


Over to @RossM.

Probe right flank!

K and B move due south onto hills.
