Campaign end

i moved, we never finished, Brian had me on the ropes however i had inflicted more casualties than i had received. Possibly he might not have had enough troops to finish me off. We will never know. ...but at the point we were at he was in the lead and therefore wins.

BATTLE TWo

Battle 2 was another costly victory for Brian, but he advances to my FINAL SECTOR.
i made some tactical errors that became very apparent to me as i cropped and adjusted the images.

CAMPAIGN RULES

Brian has set up a "blog" on another site where he is able to host the rules and rosters as individual files. Please visit http://bcantwell.2pt.net/ to see what we have how, they're doing, and what parameters we're using.
I'll continue to post images here of the battles and possibly more...

BATTLE oNE part TwO

Here are some pics Brian took of the first Battle. Next I am going to post the Campaign Guide Lines and our rosters.

BATTLE oNE

Hey,
Brian and i are fighting a FOW campaign and this is the "blog" for it.
We fought our first battle today. This was the first outing for my infantry stands and PiiiL's.
Brian got a tactical victory, capping a flag with his last KV1, Damn those Guards units. All russians should be conscript i tell you.
First up is the actual map our battleground was based on, followed by a shot of the table.




Next is our deployments. I intended to rush my Armored Panzer Grenadiers up to cap the flag "damn the antitank guns full speed ahead."

Well we lost 1 251 and all passengers, but the assault carried on and the sole surviving AT gun fled along with the remainder of that Panzer Grenadier platoon.

Here we see my sporadic air support smoking one of Brian's looted 251 reserves coming on the table. Unfortunately the passengers made their saving throw.


Realizing too late that my PiiiL's could not penetrate the KV1's front armor i sent them to bombard his infantry an keep that side of the table bottled up. In this picture we see Brian removing infantry stands from the 9 dice of 50mm and 6 dice of MGs.


Here the 2nd Panzer Grenadier platoon is assaulted by the KV1's. Unfortunately the picture of the Heroic Panzer Knacker commander blowing up a KV1 did not come out. What really saved up is that one KV1 got bogged so bad on the hedge that even his wide track reroll couldn't unbog him. That and our Confident Veteran status.


This picture is of just after the last surving stand of infantry and the HQ threw 6 dice of SMG and MG fire into the assaulting red horde leaving them with just 2 stands that remained broken until the last turn. oh yea and the armored car patrol arrived to give the KV1 something to shoot at as soon as he crashed through the hedge.

Our valiant Company Commander rushed and stormtrooped to get close enough to the flag to extend the game one more turn. They died shortly after this due to a failed save from a MG hit.

and here is our last ditch effort could the Luftwaffe pull it out? NO. He missed.


Good game, could have gone either way. I should have focused more on the flag less on breaking the infantry in the woods, who knows.
Brian got a good roll for the next mission a breakthrough. However we definitely inflicted more casualties than we took.
