We presented Behind Omaha, had another table with Firestorm Armada (didn't get to play it though) and also showed one small game of Disposable Heroes.
Friends from the forums were arriving on saturday morning
They set up a 5 player game. British and american forces...
against the german generalstaff
Allies advance to dug-out positions
Panzer IVs arrive, but get brewed up quickly
This Sherman forgot his turret at home but got equipped with the powerful T34/85 cannon
And the allies get to feel this
another brewed up Panzer IV
Next game: Mojos Germans vs. Edis Soviets.
We were playing with the old russian beta-army-lists which are a bit unbalanced.
The view on my setup:
The first T34s arrive.
A tidal wave of steel forms up on the other end of the table
AT goes into position
Panzergrenadiers occupy the ruins
Russian armor clashes in
A soviet infantry platoon advances too far, unaware of the 4 bonesaws in the building to their front
Leaving only the officer alive, the MG42s mop up almost the whole platoon in one single round!
The Jagdpanzer IV and the Panzer IV, alongside with a Panzerschreck begin to clear the german right flank
Therewhile, the left flank got busted by the KV and a mass of T34s... Unfortunately, some good dicerolls caused havoc among my infantry-officers and 3 out of 4 platoons were surprisingly headless and fled of the table. What looked good for me in mid-game, suddenly turned into a disaster. I could do nothing but spare the life of the few brave soldiers that did not run away. I surrendered for the sake of my soul...
Setting up the Table for a pause, displaying the advance of a Panzer IV platoon, accompanied by some Panzergrens:
Edis Soviets on parade
While everything else was already burning, a lone Panther utilized his full range and shot up one T34 after another while constantly reversing to stay out of their effective range...
A flanking maneuver
A Su 76 approches the other flank
First effective hit on the panthers flank
The last successful shot of the brave Panzer-Men...
Which were now taken from behind...
Have a good start tomorrow!
I want to play too....
