ZEKE Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I will be there with v4 americans, and/or germans, and/or russians to play east front or north africa. Lately, it seems that most games are FoW so thats all I've been bringing. Team Yank has been left at home unless a special request is made ahead of time.

ZEKE Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I am still working on some kind of viable russian churchill list. I still have a couple ideas to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyfor88 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Sounds good Zeke. My new terrain is urban based. So infantry will be very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 THUR, JAN 10. Played 2 Soviet forces (2 generals: ZEKE and barca) vs. Germans (1 General: phyfor88), in City terrain. phyfor88 tried out his awesome MDF damaged city buildings on a dense terrain battlefield. IMPRESSIVE! SOV: 109 pts, ZEKE, Lend-lease force =Churchills, Valentines and Universal carriers and recon SOV: 109 pts, barca, Infantry force, artillery, 1 Platoon of KV-1, a pair of SU-152 Germans: 218 points, phyfor88, Panzer grenadiers, Nebelwefers, PaK-40, 10.5 cm howitzers, Panthers and Pz IV (late), Stukas Mission: Rearguard Outcome: Decisive German victory. Comments: Soviet: Churchills are a small/fragile formation on Eastern Front Soviet: Infantry in the attack need to take the fastest route possible to their assault positions Soviet: SU-152 only worth their points in blasting infantry out of buildings Soviet: battle plan needs to be fast, simple and direct, not subtle nor slow. German panzer grenadiers put out a lot of fire power. German: The command card from Ghost Panzers that allows the force/formation commander to be a super observer placed the nebelwerfer salvo template anywhere. German: Panthers and Pz IV both gave a good accounting of themselves when handled well, but can be wasted if handled badly. German: High points lists obviously favor the Panthers. They are expensive Dense urban terrain requires different tactics than most other battlefields, and practice to get better at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyfor88 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I agree with your observations. Soviets need a simple,directly at the enemy, plan. Germans have superior firepower, range, anti tank, and armor. I have been impressed by the panzer IV. when supported properly it is a great tank. I look forward to again using my German 1/2 tracks.

barca Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Soviets facing fully-kitted out panzergrenadiers is a tough problem, if the Soviet gamer is trying to craft an all-comers list. Did not try Hero Tank Bn, but 3 tanks in a regular sov tk company does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyfor88 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Yes it was James. No armor above a 1. But many 1/2 tracks and troops all over 4 units with at9, 7 with AT 12. More at 6. PZ grenadiers were strong that game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyfor88 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 James I was looking thru the Russian cards found a good one for you to examine. Leonid Ivanovich Monchenkov, it lets you infiltrate a full motor rifle or hero motor rifle after turn one into the opponents deployment zone or no mans land like coming from ambush. This seems a really good way to tie down units and threaten Nebelwerfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phyfor88 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I may be bringing a friend. Lets do eastern front. Also have you looked at the SU-76 ? There is an official command car that allows a formation of them. AT9 rof 2 and does bombardments, can move and shoot standard. Seems to fit nicely with your Soviets.
