WW2 : 2 Mini Games
Game 2 : The big beasts from the East
17th of Sept 2019
Well the Germans took full advantage of last weeks events, crushing the the Russian Armour (The heavy mortar did the trick) leaving the outnumbered Russian foot to take a bit of whacking.
A German victory ; Overall as our first forage towards the East everyone enjoyed it. We will expand our forces in the theater but not until late into next year as the desert project is still ongoing and next years late war 3 day event still needs tweaks to established forces.
Enjoy the photos

We started a rather unscheduled game, the second of our mini games. 2 Russian forces, heavy on Armour, facing off against two German forces.
t all started swimmingly for the Russians with the German Armour taking a pounding as well troop transports but then the 'card' god stepped in ; Basically the Russians only got to active around 6 units in 3 turns which the Germans took great advantage off.

Game 1 : East or West
3rd of Sept 2019
We completed the first game, and despite not quite taking the crossroads an Allied victory was declared - But Russian was seeking compensation for their heavy losses but ultimate 'game winning' performance (Or so the Red Rag daily reported it). The Americans did finally start to contribute with a big push which saw the German force withdrawing with a sizable force, including the Stug which for it's first run out from the factory had a very good debut performance.
Overall a very enjoyable game, which went to show that the smaller games throw up a different set of challenges with plenty of action.
Not to many photos, as as usual when trying to take pics during the game I often forget !

The first of our little 2 week games sees 2 1,250 pt German armies being sandwiched between a Russian 1,000 pt force and 2 American 1,000 pt forces.
So night 1 saw set up and 3 turns played, it all looked to be a straight forward affair for the allies until the last turn of the evening which saw the Germans recover from a bashing by severely hurting the Russians (Oh my those tanks are devils !) and starting to turn to face the Americans. It has been suggested that the American forces have only advanced slowly so that the Russians could be destroyed before then stealing the show against a weakened German force ... As if !!
