A cracking World War Two game today here in OHQ, Dave took command of an American armoured infantry force in an attempt on the German West Wall.
The early turns saw a steady advance by the Americans, hindered by several stonks from a German Nebelwerfer battery. The German reinforcements were obviously delayed by a rear area bombardment or had lost their way so the defenders were unable to take advantage of the hindrance.
Turn ten ended with the Americans Battle Rating being four away from being exceeded and the Germans just one! Could the Germans hold on until their half of the turn and force a chit draw to break the American morale. Alas no, scratch one Stug III and the resulting chit draw of a one breaking the Germans will to continue.
A timed P47 air strike is driven off by anti-aircraft fire.
A marvelgame from the off, full of tension and closely contested. My ears are still ringing from the nebelwerfer barrages falling all around my boys! But we pressed on in true gunh-ho style to steal the victory!
ReplyDeleteIt was most enjoyable indeed, Battlegroup delivers in style again.
Delete"...marvellous game..." bl**dy autocorrect!

ReplyDeleteThank you Neil.
DeleteSuperb looking game and a realistic result for the era?
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith. Indeed, I never expect to win as the Germans in late 44 early 45. It’s a bonus if I do especially with my dice rolling record😂
DeleteSuper looking table and figures, really good looking game.

Thank Christopher.
DeleteCool looking game, Phil.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you were doubly right, about the effectiveness of the 155mm gun, and your chances of winning against it.
ReplyDeleteYou need to stack the odds a bit in favour to at least give yourself a taster of what it's like to win. ;o)
A lovely looking game Phil…
ReplyDeleteThat M12 is certainly a beast…
All the best. Aly
