Turn 15: 150-160 secs - A bit of luck, both ways.
As expected, his nader in the middle pushed forward, and then, somewhat less expectedly, tripped over my incoming grenade, taking a point-zero explosion. Mind, the grunt on the side had almost finished him off anyway.
My retreating sniper took another shot from a grunt, then fell over from a grenade at extreme range. This seems to be getting a bit of a habit!
My snipers on the left took out a covering grunt, so that's looking quite hopeful over there.
And the other nader on the left approaching stopped exactly where I expected - and the force-fire missed by .4 of a second. Bah. Mind, there's one of my grenades going to explode there shortly into the next turn, so that nader is starting to look vulnerable.
I'm trying to work out the remaining forces, but there's lots I can't see SpaceDag has done a very good job of never showing much of his forces at one time.
Thus turn, I'm concentrating on the attack on the left, and retreating on the right, as if I were him, I'd be trying to put some grenades exactly where my troops currently are.
I will put a forced-fire sniper shot along the outside of the wall though, just in case the 'nader decides to come the other way.
I'll also bring the commo into play, jinking him into a good central position for next turn, with an oppo fire in on the left-hand grenadier as well. The badly beaten grunt in the middle is going to play bunny, and try to draw fire and not get killed!
My snipers on the left will split, with the damaged one taking one shot and running for healing, whilst the other will traverse a little between oppo fires, to mess up any carefully planned corner-dancing by his grunts - and duck return fire
Score: 12-9
