Mr B and I took the Allies against Mr P aided later by Le Duc and John.
Nebelwerfers fell short to no effect and our flight of 'Tiffys' targeted two Tigers but failed to inflict any damage, our 3" Mortar battery was also pants failing to activate several times or missing target (an 88mm Flak on high ground).
So much for the support arms !
Usual cat and mouse between Shermans and Fireflys and the Panzers.
However we did between us managed to destroy a Tiger 1 (Mr Wittman !!), a PzIVH and a Flak Mobelwagen.
We sadly lost 3 Shermans.
Mr B had the bulk of our Infantry which assaulted the town inflicting heavy losses on SS defenders.
In fact German losses mounted quickly so that they were soon rolling for Faltering each end phase.
Game was conceded by Huns after some 9+ turns, as they were 1 loss from auto break level (12) despite still having 2 operational Tigers, whilst we were still in good shape with a mere 5 losses overall.
Another highly enjoyable outing with this rule set on a super table with BIG kit.

Le Duc took a pile of pics including this atmospheric shot (see them at https://warfareintheageofcynicsandamateurs.blogspot.com/2019/10/20mm-action-at-steves-cintheaux-44.html) showing Pz IV and Wittman brewed up
As I mentioned on DdG's blog, this is a terrific looking game. Love that last photo!
ReplyDelete20mm very photogenic for sure (Mr P had some excellent 'brewed' markers)
