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]

Alan E Brain

Russia 1941. Dug in immobilised T-35s (the land battleships) withstood a massed strike by He-111Hs, then acted as target practice for some Pz IVDs. However the PanzerGrenadiers following up got into a stoush with some Russki infantry that counter-attacked into the village, and ended up second-best.

This set is particularly good at Pacific War, Russo-Japanese, Poland 1939, Russia 1941, and other relatively unpopular theatres. But good for the usual France 44 or Russia 45 too. [17 Feb 99]

Frank Kliewe

January 9th, 99 East Front, a ruined village got spanked by the russians (grrr) [10 Feb 99]

Jake Rose

Played a Mein Panzer game with a German armor BN attacking an American Recon screen. Americans had to hold initial line for 2 turns, displace to secondary line and hold for 3 turns. Germans had to try to cross table in 4 turns. [10 Feb 99]
