Overview:

On 30 July, Free State forces launched an attack to take Bruree. The Dublin Guards attacked the town from the southeast, supported by armoured cars and an 18-pound field gun. The Republicans held out for five hours until Free State artillery was brought into action. At least 13 Free State soldiers and nine Anti-Treaty fighters were killed in the action and more were wounded before the Free State troops secured Bruree. The IRA commander knew how important Bruree was to the defence of Kilmallock and drew up plans to recapture the town using three armoured cars, trench mortars and machine guns. On 2 August, Republicans captured Patrickswell south of Limerick. The armoured cars then attacked Bruree, taking Free State forces by complete surprise.

2022-06-08(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett IRA winPlayed against myself, the rolls for the Free States were working well up to a point, but the poor setup I started with really compromised my defensive line, and it was a matter of time before defensive points were broken and/or overrun. The IRA also rolled for multiple DC charges, and two snipers that managed to break or kill multiple targets. Special shout out to the IRA stack that malfunctioned two LMGs at once, only to roll two 1s in a row in the Rally Phase to repair both.
