Join us for our live playthrough of @gmtgames Fields of Fire Deluxe Edition by @BenHull3. Normandy Mission 3 Patrol 1. Tonight 9pm/4pm BST/EDT.
We are on the defensive and need to see what's happening with the Fallschirmjager ahead of us. A dawn patrol by 3rd Platoon is needed to scout the farms ahead. We need to avoid the village on the high ground while we do it. youtube.com/live/TmlITprJ4QQ

A cacophony of automatic fire at the primary objective. Bullets flying everywhere. If we can eliminate that Fallschirmjager fire team in the foxholes we have success. Only 1 turn to do it in. Time for grenades. More on the channel later.

End of an epic mission that came down to the wire on the last turn. A grenade attack under smoke finally clears the foxholes in the hedgerow and we reinforce the village with 2nd Platoon. Both objectives secured. Cerisy Offensive mission in @gmtgames Fields of Fire Deluxe edition Normandy Campaign.

Turn 10 of 10. Appropriately, on this Day of Days, we are on the brink of success on our Cerisy Offensive in the Bocage. We have the secondary objective in our possession though under a crossfire. The primary is contested and also under fire from German forces. Can we clear it on the Last Turn!? Live playthrough of @gmtgames Fields of Fire Deluxe Edition by @BenHull3. Normandy Mission 2. Later today 6pm/1pm EDT/EDT. youtube.com/live/9-fwoyLki18

A cruel crossfire breaks the annoying HMG team holding up 3rd Platoon. Scouts have penetrator the Marsh in front of the Orchard Attack Position. An LMG nest on the left will have to be dealt with. Good progress. More tonight on the channel.

On the right flank, 3rd Platoon have used the Company mortar section to suppress a tripod MG42 team in a Gully controlling the approach to the farm. Preparing to advance...

We've managed to evict the German sniper in the hill village and it's in our possession. Now to set up a fire base to dominate the low level beyond. .50cal team and Forward Observer on the way. Still got a sniper in the Gully to deal with. @gmtgames Fields of Fire Deluxe Normandy Mission 2. More tonight on the channel.

Completed Mission 1 Normandy of @gmtgames Fields of Fire on 1st attempt by surging forward to the objective cards on the last turn. Was held up clearing the attack position woods card due to a persistent sniper I couldn't spot which freaked out 1st Sgt and 2nd Platoon commander. Only one casualty point from 1st Platoon moving into the Orchard/ Grove. Most German defenders withdrew thankfully.

After a few sessions, we finished this wonderful M&P "Alerheim 1645" scenario. The Bavarians fought well, but France’s numerical superiority and excellent planning during the assault by @Moromir2 secured the victory.
