This was another non-historical scenario I put together as a Battlefront WWII learning scenario for a new player, introducing him to combined tank and infantry tactics along with employing minefields, barbed wire and AT guns in a more or less static defence.
The scenario is meant to represent a Russian armoured attack on a prepared German position, with well dug in troops protected by barbed wire and minefields backed by a heavy Pak screen. The objective is simply to inflict the most damage, with the Germans requiring a two to one ratio in victory points (i.e. inflicting twice as much damage as their opponent). The game was played in 20mm using the Battlefront WWII rule set, and was really an excuse to trot out my newly painted HaT Russian tank riders, mounted in small groups of two and three per stand so that they can mount and dismount from the vehicles. Here is the link to the full AAR with photos:

Thanks, all.
Tim, the ISU 152's's were Italeri fast build, and the KV1's -um – Pegasus fast build.
The field pieces are a mixture – squares of material from the fabric shop, pieces of artificial turf from the dollar store with a bit of spray paint, etc. The tall crops are squares knitted by my wife, God bless 'er!
I edge the fields with thin strips of sticky one side velcro with clump foliage attached – quick and cheap to make and they have the effect of disguising the fabric edge. I use the same along the laneways.
Hope this helps … |

Wow, excellent looking game. Lots of terrain, tough tank country. |

Great! I like wargames terrain with a realistic layout, and not with every road, stream and fence in perfect alignment. The real world's not like that. Good work! |

Awesome Bill, thanks for sharing. |

Great report! Definitely enjoyed the beautiful pictures and the very easy to read "play by play" of the game. Looks like you two had a great game there! |
