"Revolving Battle at Nashcon" Topic

Would like to thank all those who participated in the Combat Command game at NashCon – "The Revolving Battle".

Based on Eric Raus's (commander of 6th Panzer) colorful if not entirely unbiased account of the battle, the game featured 4 Russian Tanks Brigades and 2 Mech Brigades aganist 2 German Panzer battalions and a Panzer Grenadier battalion. A big game even by Combat Command standards.

Ended in a close German victory as the Panzers fighting on interior lines raced back and forth to stop each new Soviet attack (the Soviets came in 1 Brigade per turn).

A great group of players made the game easy to run – even with a few players having never played Combat Command. (It took nine players to run the game.)

Thanks again for all the kind comments about both the rules and the game.

Play to reprise at Historicon this Summer.

Thanks Nashville – yes this is a picture of the game.
