History is changed!! Again!

So, I challenged Roshni to another game of Memoir '44 - seeing as the results so far were 2 - 0 to her! This time Maya got involved to see what was what. After a little bit of explanation of what the dice meant, Maya was able to pick up what was going on. The two of them shared dice rolls, which lead to be bit of excitement between them if one failed a hit, the other was encouraged to score. They also started to employ a lot of good tactics with their Command Card disadvantage.

So, the scene was set - my British forces hitting Sword beach 6th June 1944, which the girls vigorously defended. And defended they did!! It was terrible! No matter how I tried, I couldn't make head way; then about half way through, the right sector made a big push and things seemed to be going our way; one bunker was knocked out and the German artillery was forced to retreat but suddenly the left sector collapsed and the right sector took a sudden beating; then a Commando unit was wiped out and an Artillery Barrage card against a tank unit ended the British assault on Sword Beach!!

5 stars to my 1 - Roshni wins again

Memoir 44 is an amazingly simple game to play but is by no means simple in its approach - tactics, loss and wins, back and forth, I found it so much more playable than ASL. I cannot wait for Battlequestgames to open in town...more on this next post
