THE GAME
(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version)
Darrin showed up first so he got to wear the LRDG beret…
The Team successfully arrived on the day in question and left their vehicles in a hide and approached the oasis on foot. Having searched it thoroughly and found it unoccupied, they took up positions to await the arrival of the British Agent.
An hour later a figure appeared on the horizon –from the general direction of Benghazi – running. They all went out to meet the approaching runner. Sign and counter signs were quickly exchanged as Col. Gordon (H.M.S.S.) arrived. Then he told the group; “WE’ve got to get on quickly chaps, I’ve been made!”
Before they could get anywhere a voice called out from a nearby outcropping of rocks; “You cannot escape zis time, Gordon! Give up - SCHNELL!”
Trapped!
The Parolmen quickly ran for cover and began exchanging fir with the Panzer-Grenadiers
Pte. Raines clipped a Jerry as he dashed from cover to cover to block the Patrol’s Escape.
Then Pte. Raines took out the MG gunner from the other section of Panzer-Grenadiers.
Cpl Watkins-Gold riddled their Squad leader and the team broke.
The leader of the other team was knocked out of action and that team also failed morale.
The Germans quicky recovered and the two sides exchanged fire for some time… a few more Germans were lost.
Pte. Raines decided to find a better firing position in the ruined building.
The three remaining Panzer –Grenadiers from the nearest team rushed his position throwing grenades – they went long.
Raines chucked his grenade back at them – and took out all three.
Hauptamn Meuller realized the battle was lost and pulled out his remaining troops shouting “I vill get you next time, Gordon, NEXT TIIIIIME!!”
The patrolmen gathered up their wounded companion and scarpered back to their trucks to make good their escape!
