Warfighter WW2 - British Landing Tactics Exercise

A squad from the London Fog Regiment was tasked with clearing a channel off the beach for the follow on forces. In reality this was an exercise testing the Brits Shore Invasion tactics.

The run in aboard one of the Yank’s Higgins boat was a bit dodgy (all soldiers suffer a suppression)

The Captain’s Leadership drove the squad off the boat and into a Boiling Surf and the team machine gunner forced the enemy spotter to ground while the rest detected a sniper and peppered him with suppressing fire. An MG42 opened up and wounded our MG trooper.

The Boiling Surf battered the team as the advanced (after rolling all suffered an opening suppression).

The Captain rushed forward and dropped two PIAT rounds on the MG42.

The rest advanced onto the Deadly Beach zone blasting away at the spotter and sniper, again suppressing those enemies.

Now the final push began. Rushing the Recon objective, members found a cache of enemy grenades (Objective text) and began lobbing them at the enemy. Corporal fired a rifle grenade into the MG42 (with Blast) position wiping it out. 

At close range the mopping began in earnest.

As the last enemy position was cleared, the squad consolidated at the top of the dunes and awaited the follow on force.

The beach was cleared, and it was generally a cake walk. The expensive PS was well worth the cost. The combo of PIATs, Rifle Grenade and the objective providing each entrant 2 grenades made this a very achievable mission.
