The battle that just never ends!
This battle played out at 60pts and was meant to be the first of multiple games in an evening....this was NOT the case. We fought over everything and by the time we called it it was down to bare bones. Both sides losing lots as well as shelling out the hurt. Table selection was dictated by a friend of ours and he went terrain heavy which slowed the game down to a crawl. I lost track of the turns as we just slugged it out both refusing to back down. The Soviet forces held strong and the Germans were able to recover an almost lost objective. Hard fighting, as will be seen in the photos and looking forward to the next one. Hopefully it won't wind up taking up all of our time and leave no time for other games.
This battle was HARD! Like if we were in a tournament we would have both lost anyway. The game went on for no less that 12 turns with terrain hindering both sides as well as aiding. The congestion of buildings was a welcome change but it was just carnage at close quarters. Both sides were rolling rather poorly for morale checks (with a couple exceptions). We both agreed that next time we will probably get our table designer to take it easy on so much terrain. We were both bogged down by Cross checks which made the game grind on for many more turns than we wanted to play. I tried the artillery and the fliegerfaust group to no avail. I don't think they will be making it back into my future lists, I'd be better off just taking more groups of Leopards or shoring up the ones I have to 4 strong (HINT HINT Phil and Wayne)
Hard fought battle mein freund.
Damn, that’s a nice looking table, I like the density, it actually looks quite natural. Good game!
PS. Pineapple does NOT go on pizza…
Looks like it was a pretty fun match, bloody but fun.Recommendation for Danger zone alone. 😛
Great fight and a slugfest as we germans say
beautiful table but the closed terrain mist have been a challenge for the Germans
A usual Excellent AAR, supportive pictures and a good ORBAT list
An Draw Report like this should be rated WIN, under these circumstances
Great table and reporting, PEIPER. You’ve fought long and hard for the Bundesrepublik. Perhaps a beach vacation is in order. I hear the Crimea is nice this time of year, and Leos handle sand quite well!
Tough battle
Tough table to fight on. I don’t really like big towns that much. Keep on fighting.
Well it was definitely the Danger Zone. Nobody was safe!
geezz looks like a bloodbath!
Nice report format, and no wall of text, a hard fight! but still well done! Nice terrain as well
That was quite the grind. And a bonus point for using Kenny Loggins.
Hard fought and looked like fun Pieter. You did well and a draw is still a win against RED.
Good luck too you.
It was bloodier and crazier than I care to admit Ivan lol
A very nice table. Looks like it was an epic battle.
