One at a Time - Single Man Units

On turn 2, I find and take out my first cave. There is some resistance but I move my men as a single force, concentrating my fire. The cave is destroyed by a demo charge and a thunderous explosion!

Turns 3-5 I continue up the escarpment and encounter a second cave, plus more enemy resistance from above the cave.

I move my men slowly, only one hex, then fire. Then I move another into the same hex, fire again, keeping the enemy partially suppressed and firing wildly.

This time a bazooka team does the honors plus taking out an RCL team on the hill just above the cave.

My force is still intact. I have not lost a man. See attachment.

I have also taken my first objective. My units are still cohesive and Captain Hod is in control. We are ready to continue the attack. See attachment.

On turn 6, feeling confident I can hold my ground and even move further up the hill, I divide my forces, sending part of them with Lt. Saje to the northwest to find and take out the third cave.

It appears that the enemy HQ position is vacant. I think, however, things are far too quiet and the enemy is preparing something.

Time, however, is a factor and I must get all objectives and the caves soon.

Turn 7 and the action intensifies! Enemy troops are indeed preparing a counterattack. My northern wing has sighted the last cave and are moving toward it.

Now my job as Captain Hod is to keep their rear protected. I need to have their back.

See attachment as enemy soldiers come into my line of sight.

Now all hell breaks loose. The Egyptians are charging right for my force near the first two caves. We are firing carefully but in volume. The Egyptians return the fire and keep coming.

See attachment for firefight.

A couple of heroes emerge in this little firefight. One is Private Gahal who takes down three of the enemy. The other is Sgt.Gedaliah, who has up to now killed six of the enemy.

He will be honored for his courage under fire.

The fierce struggle continues for two more turns. At the same time, my northern group encounters resistance near the last cave.

It appears another enemy force is heading for my flank units headed for the cave. Some more fighting is on the horizon.

I continue my sweep through enemy positions at the top but it appears the fight is over there.

By now I have a bazooka team at the mouth of the cave, ready to fire.
