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]

Actually I´m in middle of an game (Spearhead) where I´m functioning as an umpire. The scenario is from "Where the Ironcrosses grow" (eastern front supplements and scenarios for Spearhead rule. The 11 German pz div. is attacking russian infantery suported by two hvy tank reg. I´m playing the tactical situations (all the moves and cobats e.t.c.) while the players give their units orders by contact me by phone or e-mail. [6 Apr 99]

Skirmanovo (November 1941) - A Soviet counterattack East of Moscow to halt the German onslaught. Game was fought with double blind movement using a system similar to Bill Owen's. The Soviet 50th Cavalry division arrived late, but the Germans were very extended by then, counterattacking the Soviet tank Brigade and Rifle division. They left too few reserves and Pliev's cavalry had an easy task destroying the undefended German rear area troops, transport assets and headquarters units. Clear Soviet victory. [2 Apr 99]

Spearhead set in Russia '41. Non historical-non competition game A Motorized Inf Reg (two Battalions) and a Motorcycle Battalion with Stuka support force a river crossing against a Russian Infantry Reg (three Battalions with support) who have to defend three different possible crossing sites. The Russans bring up a Tank Brigade to reduce the bridgehead before the Germans can bring over their Recon and Panzer Battalion. They manage to prevent this but the Germans held the bridgehead.

1944 1:200 British Armoured Division against German Kampfgruppe [29 Mar 99]

In my last Battle with Spearhead I played on the German side trying to stop the Indians of the 4th Indian Division from breaking out of Benghazi. [29 Mar 99]

Two German tank battalions, two infantry batalions and a motorcycle battalion attacked a Soviet force of two infantry battalions, one cav regiment and a tank regiment. Important lessons learned - Pz111 can't afford to trade blows with T34 and KV1s. [28 Mar 99]

I refereed a game for two friends of mine.

One battalion of US infantry, supported by a couple of arty battalions, attacked a prepared German defender of one infantry battalion, supported by a battery of Nebelwerfers. The game ran only for a few hours, but the players became interested enough to ask for more... [26 Mar 99]

koursk, was great [17 Mar 99]

We have been playing scenarios from panzerkampf and rommel battles last battle Hurgten forrest

initiative and commamd span outstanding best for use as combined arms interesting when using infantry and fighting in built up areas .Lacking points list [21 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]
