Maybe this one we shouldn’t play on Chris Malton`s school playing field , I can just see the Leopard `ploughing` a trough all the way back to home base. And burning out a motor in the process. >`it takes 5 soldiers in a certain area to complete the invasion. When that happens, team bonus points are awarded and the game restarts. Same logistics and tactical problem, but easier to manage ` That’s a better idea. So , Troop invasion :- Each team will transport troops ( one at a time per asset , regardless of asset type ) to a central specified location ( where they can be shot at ) .On arrival at `ground Zero` after offloading your soldier onto an open position , you can either choose to go back for more reinforcements / take pot shots at enemy troops / kill any enemy tanks who decided to stick around to kill your troops ( or you ) .Even better, to kill enemy assets before they have chance to unload . The first team that has five `living` soldiers in the zone is awarded 2500 points ( or any big number we can think of ) , all assets and soldiers are then returned to home base and the game resets . This is repeated as many times as possible in the hour long schedule. In this scenario soldiers don’t lower themselves to hand to hand combat, they just stand there bravely being shot at . Discipline is the key to the whole operation. FA may be very useful in this scenario , depending on position.
