I believe it was a scenario covering the German advance into Belgium. Infantry div elements pushing up densely wooded roads. Elements of Das Reich airlifted into rear areas. Belgians reinforced by French cavalry. Slow German progress up board with resulting "historical" victory. [7 Apr 99] |

My last battle was the British involvement in the battle for the Ardennes (something which is not well written about). TAC:WWII as usual gave a thoroughly good feel for the battle, the tactics used and the formations. It allows flexibility, yet accurate historical representation. In this battle, the guards division advanced, to help our American cousins who were in the doo doo, YET AGAIN. The British advanced with the armour taking on the King Tigers, while the infantry took the Panzer Grenadiers. This action was a delaying action until the rest of the division was able to arrive and halt the German advance. Very thrilling action with the armour almost being destroyed, while the infantary held their own. The whole flavour of the game could only be experianced through Tac. [6 Apr 99] |

Last game was a recreation of the collapse of the Romanian Front in 1944. It dealt with a German Infantry Division that was defending a river line only to find it has been outflanked. The Germans were told to deploy to defend the river as they had secure flanks. They had to fight off a Soviet flank attack before having their orders changed by higher command. This then forced a withdrawal in the teeth of an enemy attack. [11 Feb 99] |

1944, Soviets versus Germans, Soviets hugged right back and picked off German armoured formations coming over a ridge in the open, despite taking heavy losses from the remains of a Panther battalion and Luftwaffe attacks. [11 Feb 99] |

"Kampfgruppe Friebe", a scenario from Tac Publications's latest supplement, Eastern Front 1944. I umpired for two other players. Two German Panzer Bns with two PzGren Bns trying to break through a Soviet rifle regiment with AT support, to relieve Tarnopol. 22 game turns (7 hours in the game, played in 3.5 hrs real time). Absolutely historical outcome: Germans almost got there but ground to a halt with all thei tanks stuck in the mud or KO. As the author of Tac I am biased! But although I haven't played CD or CoA, from talking to those who have I think I will stick to Tac, as I prefer its limitations to theirs. [11 Feb 99] |
