Tabletop waiting for the next game |
Campaign map - blue circle highlights the action being fought. |
Panzer Grenadier force: 1 x assault gun unit, 1 x AA unit, 1 x armoured infantry unit, and 1 x mortar section. |
British Guards force: 1 x tank troop, 1 x armoured car troop, 1 x armoured infantry platoon. |
The British off-tabletop artillery section. I put the models next to or on the edge of the tabletop so I don't forget they are there and part of the game. |
Units are deployed |
Turn 1 - Units from both sides converge |
Turn 2 - British tanks soon make their presence felt. |
Turn 3 - The Panzer Grenadier assault is beginning to stall as casualties mount |
Turn 4 - The assault fails |
Turn 5 - The remaining attackers retire |
A really good game with small forces Peter. I'm sure you can buy railway track by the metre from model railway shops but your card pieces do the job nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will have to remember railway track the next time I visit the hobby shop.
DeleteAnother splendid game - your railway line works for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteAt this rate it looks like it'll be cocktails in Berlin tonight! Cracking stuff as ever - I wonder do you follow the Tactical Painter's blog? He uses old OO/HO railway track and sourced it cheaply in Oz as he's a fellow Antipodean. Why is it that so many of the best wargaming blogs come from the wrong side of the planet? I guess all that blood going to the head stimulates creativity?

Thank you for the link and interesting site with excellent terrain modelling. One more action to play out.
DeleteNow an interesting slant on the campaign. The Germans are losing too many units that can;t be replaced perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThe Germans defiantly started the campaign with more units, but losses need to be managed.
DeleteThe German commander must be at least somewhat concerned about his mounting losses.
ReplyDeleteI rather like your train track solution - inexpensive, not difficult to make, and looks the part. Also, great idea keeping the off-table artillery next to the table or on the table edge so you don't forget about them.
Losses are bringing to mount on both sides. The Germans have a greater number of units and can afford to push ahead. Units are only removed from the campaign if eliminated on the tabletop, those with hits are restored to full strength in the next campaign turn.
