This weekend our group played out our annual Big Game (Biggish Game, really – numbers and scope have shrunk to more do-able proportions over the years!) a two day affair that allows us to seriously get our teeth into a scenario of choice. This year's scenario was Near Smolensk, written by Michael Turner for the Battlefront WWII rule set. The scenario is set during the battle of Smolensk in Russian, July, 1941, and is a non-historical encounter that has the Russians holding a vital river crossing against attacking German armour and infantry.

Here is the AAR:

And here are a few pics of the action:

Enjoyed the pictures and description of the action. Thanks for sharing.
how do you differentiate units that are suppressed or disordered? (if playing Fire and Fury's Battlefront).

Hi Buckeye,

Yes, it's Fire and Fury Battlefront. The puffs of fibre fill on washers are the markers. Orange paint is disordered, black paint suppressed.
