Meanwhile in Hong Kong

A lot of my modern terrain, buildings has a distinctly Asian-Japanese look to it. This little game could be a what if situation of the PLA in the early 80s had decided to cause problems for the garrison.
For this little action, I shall put a few buildings up, try laying out some streets, and buildings. I have some British AFVs ,  pictures to follow.

This action is based off of a what if scenario during the riots in Hong Kong in 1967. The PLA had a plan to invade Hong Kong to take it back from the British. This action is a probe by PLA militia disguised as armed peasants.


The British troops are made up of units from the garrison, supported by armored units. 

The British garrison deploys in extended 

order. Two mounted companies and a truck mounted weapons support company.

Members of PLA and militia take positions on top of factory housing

two light machine gun teams and an smg squad hold the roof of a department store while a PLA type 60 hides in the rubble of the smashed up store front

An APC holds a PLA squad disquised as militia

Snipers take over a mansion and restaurant.
Hopefully I will be able to do some turns with this game before I have to pack it up and move down to our new apartment in December.
The British advanced across the open area in extended order and spilit apart to take on different areas. Mistake one by the British. The PLA units simply picked off the armor units with RPGs and tank rounds.

 The supporting Scorpions and Humber Pigs opened up on the apartments taking out some of the gunmen but failing to take out the snipers.

The picture below which I will reattach held a Carl Gustav team and a GPMG team, however, the Chinese snipers noted the Landrovers pulling up behind and lobbing grenades into the open decks, taking out the GPMG team but missed the Anti-tank group. who then fired into the building eliminating the snipers.

By the end of the game, all viechles had been eliminated. Both sides of infantry then withdrew.
