I'm not sure I'd be so confident of four men with bolt-action rifles dealing with 15-20 men! Sounds like one of those "mad dashes" where you wonder how anyone survived, but after a moment's rational thought it suddenly seems obvious that hitting a moving target after being surprised isn't as easy as it sounds.
Be ironic if he got strafed by an Allied fighter, wouldn't it?

Re: Hammerhead
20 Frenchmen bested by four, or as they say in France, an overwhelming force. That's a crushing victory.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

Ken, That's the closest I could get to an emoji of me being worried about the PC Police.

So come on, everyone - how was it for you? Did the terrain move?

Hammerhead 2018
A few snapshots of the games just before it got very busy - 60 participation games, all getting use from the moment the doors opened it seemed.
Our game, Rommel, Your Part in His Downfall (although out of the 5 games played, Rommel won every time!):
A very annoying game (they had some of the Grand Manner buildings I used at Salute but they’d painted them better than me….grrrr):
Dam busters, complete with sound effects:
and just some of the others:
