Tank Duel another session

Tank Duel with my Dad last night.
More fun on Eastern Front.
First up we had 2 x PZIIIJ vs 2 x T34 M43.
The Panzers up against it with tough T34 armour meaning they needed flanks shots or APCR rounds in the main to dent the T34s.
This one ended in narrow points win for Soviets with us both losing a couple of tanks.
Then we played one of the historical scenarios set in winter 1945 in a snow blizzard.
This had 2 x Tiger 1 (showing their age) against 2 x JSII.
We also introduced the Infantry rules (very abstracted but nice addition especially the Germans with Panzer Shreck/Faust).
The one had varied LOS with the snow being thick or light on a card turn for each vehicle action with a max of 600m and Spotting being a lottery.
So a bit more cat and mouse although again the Panzers second best in armour stakes needing flanks (hard to achieve in snow) bur graced with 4 APCR per vehicle (ie double normal), the JSIIs have no APCR but dont need it.
Dad had foul luck in addition to the weather and had me dump Mud terrain on him a few times.
I brewed several Tigers for only a single loss.
Good solid game play with light rules overhead.
