All,
I've been working hard on getting everything ready, and hope to start this coming weekend. I previously posted 5 battle reports ("Somewhere in Italy, Late '43") I did in playtesting Ivan/Weasel's new rules, "5Core Company Command."
I liked the rules so much that I'm looking to play a series of games which follow a fake-but-historically-plausible German Kampfgruppe through Poland, France, North Africa, USSR (relief of Stalingrad, Kharkov, then Kursk), Italy, back to USSR (Korsun), Normandy (Caen), Holland (Market Garden), Ardennes (the Bulge), Hungary, and finishing up in Silesia.
So, this weekend I'm looking at beginning the German invasion of Poland. Here's the plan for the first six games:
1. Frontier, 1 Sept 1939,
KG Klink forces crossing against defensive positions of Border Guards and National Defense units.
Date – 1 Sept 1939, 0500
2. The Battle of Mokra, 1 Sept 1939
2.1: KG Klink recce elements clash with defensive positions of 19th Uhlan Regiment in forest.
Date – 1 Sept 1939, 0630
2.2: KG Klink mechanized attack on defensive positions of 21st Uhlan Regiment in village.
Date – 1 Sept 1939, 0800
2.3: 21st Armored and 12th Uhlan Regiments counterattack KG Klink in village.
Date – 1 Sept 1939, 1000
2.4: 21st Arm and 12th Uhlan fall back, 2nd Mounted Regiment carries attack on KG Klink in village. Date – 1 Sept 1939, 1100
2.5: KG Klink mechanized attack on defensive positions of 2nd Mtd Regiment at railroad embankment. Date – 1 Sept 1939, 1500
There is more info on the blog, such as force structures for the first six fights listed above, as well as the rest of the operations (first strike on Warsaw, Battle of Kutno, then capitulation of Warsaw) I intend on carrying out.
