RECENT BATTLE REPORTS
Fred Cartwright

Last WW2 armour skirmish game was an Eastern Front scenario. Germans supported by Stug's attacking Russians in a town. Rules used were Crossfire with the street fighting providing perfect interuptions of LOS to avoid to loong fields of fire. After a hard fought game victory went narrowly to the Germans. Tried out some armour variations to Crossfire which have been aired on the net. Makes armour more relavant, but still vulnerable if unsupported by infantry. [29 Mar 99]

Dan Higdon

A valiant group of Soviets discovered the hard way that 5 T34-85s and 5 SU-76s are not sufficient to kill (or even really slow down) 5 Panthers and 5 Pz IVfs in an open clearing. The range and power of the Panthers' guns is just too great. [29 Mar 99]

Vince Solimine

Battle for Stonne 1940. French & Germans. Good battle with early war tanks. [28 Mar 99]

Rick Rutherford

Some of the members of our group have just started playing WWII historical games, and we're using the "Mein Panzer" rules for micro-armor. During our latest game, we had a couple of dozen Soviet T-34s assaulting a village held by a dozen German tanks, and the Soviets won a resounding victory. [26 Mar 99]

David Chong

One great aspect of Mein Panzer is that a player can quickly play an enjoyable game controlling a full battalion, but even just controlling a platoon or two each, as we did last week, is very satisfying! [26 Mar 99]
