29 Let's go! Death from above

 The 29, Let's Go! campaign continues.  I realised that before playing he first game of Map 2, I hadn't accounted for the Blue on Blue incident that occurs after the American's capture Map 1.  After the fall of La Cambe, the US troops are attacked by friendly aircraft....

An unlucky platoon from C Company are strafed by Allied aircraft as the move up towards La Cambe.

                                        Men of 8 Platoon, C Company, 175th hit the deck as allied aircraft open fire. 

Although its not necessary to record casualties, I make a roll and end up with 5 fatalities - the loader from the bazooka team, a LCPL from second squad and three privates from 3rd Squad.  News of the attack filters back to Lt Col. Goode's command post and his morale drops another level....he is now back to anxious.  It is looking increasingly unlikely that the US will win the campaign!
