Flames of War: What did we learn?

After the hardcore match on Saturday, Martin and I played Flames of War. He tried out the Brits this time and I stayed with the Germans. Over all I think we learned two things.

One: House to house fighting is tough and brutal.
Two: Mortars are fantastic, except when they are in the open and can be seen by a heavy machine gun.

After seeing off the Insel Affen, we moved to the North side of the village to make sure they didn't come back.

Here is the machine gun crew that shot the enemy mortar team.

The scenery is fantastic. Where were you guys playing at?

We played in Martins basement. I love the scenery and will be building more to go with what he already has.

Think your gear looks very good. I can't see how a machine gun can wipe out a mortar. Mortars are a high angle of fire area weapon and normally fired from cover ie a trench or behind a building.
