    Doh!

    Playing Terror at the Castle tonight and I pointed out there was nothing much to stop the Russians placing the two T-34s adjacent to the AA13 VC buildings and blasting the buggery out of the units in the buildings. What could the Hungarians do about it. Tony and Steve in concert: Panzerfaustë!

    I suspect panzerfauste may have brought tears to quite a few eyes 'Back in the day'.......

    I'd had two squad adjacent to his tanks and not tried for them either. Went for the advance in concealed for the CCV option and of ourselves miffed the rolls.

    And didn't lose concealment!

    I think you only retain concealment if:

    It is an advance into non-open ground (in this case orchard)

    Younger ambush (quite likely given the mods of -2 for you and +2 for him)

    You achieve a kill...that's the tricky one.

    Yes, i'm aware of that but if you pass it and advance in then you will lose concealment if you fail to kill the target in CC.

    Ah, I had thought "miffed the rolls" was the PAATC's involved

    Double Doh!
