| These could have covered both gaps very nicely |
That RR Embankment looked like the Alps and neither of us wanted to A) get bogged down on the Tracks or B) go into the shooting gallery that clearly woudl happen at the road you can see in the left hand side of the table.
Both of us were careful and by turn 3 we hand even shot at each-other. I had realized I should have gone under the RR bridge on the right and tried to send my Panzer IIs through here even moving at the double to do.
I survived the fire from Timus newly arrived H35 and shot back using 15 shots go get on killed tank!
At the same time I sent my Panzer IVs over the RR embankment and made it. I took out one S35(its as the platoon leader which immobilized them, not that it mattered much) and lost a Panzer IV from counter fire.
There was a lot of bouncing AT rounds for the next two turns, I did manage to get my 8-Rads over the road and onto the objective (driving like mad through the French tanks) so at least I was contesting my opponents objectives.
I think Both Timus and I screwed up our deployment. I should have gone right not left and Timus should probably have started with two Recon Platoons on the board (at least that is what I think I would have tried in his shoes.)
Thanks for a Fun Game Timus, Gordon you really should rate your board with a level of Difficulty in these tournament or something!

Sometimes commanders are making hard decisions due to the terrain we try to reflect that in the scenery in a fun way by adding things you dont normally contend with we often just look at the rul books terrain section pick items you NEVER see on the table and then build a table, this is that table, High RR embankments like this were used by the Polish to slow down german advances itwas a pain in the but but ddnt help them much in the end....hope you had fun!
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished :) you set up great tables but some are hard to fight on. You are right about terrain dictating the battle. I do feel this was the hardest table to fight on, at least that I had to deal with.
