Last Friday saw the Germans trying to sneak a truck full of loot (Belgian beer) through Resistance infested area.
What happened, happened, the Belgians could not let the beer reaching Munich for the Beer fest and had to intercept the truck. Beer is holy stuff in Belgium.
Short story long, or long story short (depending how much interested you are in the subject).
My company let people carrying over day off from one year to the next. Issue is, by July 1st, it's all gone, wiped out, made disappeared. So, by mid-June I realised I had a day available, and took it on a Friday.
Bad news was it was not the most convenient day for the family, good news was that I could play Bolt Action.
We met with Von Evan, a German player that has always bad experience facing the Resistance.
750 pts army.

The partisans raised their rifles and pistols and attacked with passion the stunned Germans. They took the nebelwerfer in close combat, while another team moved toward the strafbattalion but never reached the target. The German leader took control of his men and mauled down the inexperienced partisans.

Turn 4: We called it.
by that time, The Germans had 3 VP (for the truck escaping), the resistance 3 (3 German units destroyed),
However, the Resistance had 3 units ready to leave, out of German sight, giving them 3 more points by escaping, while the Germans could not breakthrough with any units.
Resistance victory for holding the Germans.
