Unlucky Platoon L

[Imp]

Or how not to conduct recon.
Well sometimes snake eyes come in groups & this platoon got more than its share of bad luck, though I didn't help them much.
It had been a quiet day for them scouting down the left flank, they were just about to enter a small copse of trees when a enemy tank burst out of them.
Squad assaulted but botched the attempt losing a couple of men, tank retaliated breaking them & destroying them as they routed.
In their turn the remaining members decide to move to safety as the tank will be engaged by my armour if it moves forward at all.
First to move goes gets hit by a GL wiping out 5 men, it then kills them as they run.
The next squad vanished to one round of auto cannon fire.
The lead squad decided it might be prudent to stay where he was & got hit next turn by a flame weapon probably from the squad that was detecting them, second hit & he was gone to.
Whole platoon wiped out in 6 or 7 shots & only unit spotted was the tank, not a good day at the office.
