It
is 7 June 1944. The SPR squad has just received its
orders to save Private Ryan. Setting off from Battalion
HQ in Vierville sur Mer, the SPR squad hitches a ride to
the front line...(see map) OK boys, that's as far as we dare go. Good luck! |
|
| Advancing across the French countryside. Like a walk in the park... | |
|
|
Suddenly a shot rings out...SNIPER!!! |
|
| TAKE COVER!!Sgt Horvath leads a team through the woods to outflank the sniper. |
|
|
|
Reiben sprays the church steeple with his BAR. | |
AMBUSH!!! A German MG nest catches Horvath's team in the open. Pvt Jones (who?) takes a full burst in his face! Follow me! CHAAAARGE!!! Horvath leads Jackson and Upham in a desperate charge... |
|
|
|
Having suppressed the sniper, Cpt Miller leads his team only to discover Jones and Horvath dead! The German MG team had been single-handedly disposed of by Jackson in a mighty rage. | |
Miller leads his men to clear the sniper out of the steeple. Watch out! Caparzo spots Germans in the roof of another building. |
|
|
 |
A closer look at the Germans in the roof. |
|
| Aftermath: Following a brief firefight, the Germans surrender after taking several casualties. Medic Wade discovers that Horvath was only knocked unconscious. The MG bullet hit a couple of cans of sardines (in extra thick tomato sauce) that Horvath kept in his breast pocket. The SPR squad take a breather in the church before they move out to continue their search for Private Ryan. | Credits: Rules - Battleground WW2 (WW2 skirmish rules) Figures - US figs by SHQ and FAA (20mm metals), German figs by Revell (20mm plastics) Buildings - Hovels 15mm Terrain - scratch built |
