Coming together nicely. This week, I succeeded in putting a new bit on a dremel with the hopes that one day I'll find enough time to actually trim down the turrets of some T34s that are too large. Feeling a little inadequate now he he

Even a little start is progress mate ;-)

Battle report details to follow ;-)


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The game played was encounter and the points was around 3600

Turn 1 USA
Sherman 105’s lay down a bombardment on the 88’s and destroy one of them
Turn 1 German
Panzer IV’s, 88’s all fail to score any hits on the sherman’s in the woods and the panthers fail to destroy the solitary 76 that rolls over the hill.
Turn 2 USA
The shermans making an attack into the village and flank the Panzer IV platoon, using there stabilisers to great effect, but only managing to bail on of the panzers. The 76’s crest the hill and fire on the panthers managing to destroy the 2IC. The 105’s had a few issues and where unable to zero in, the shermans in the woods where also ineffective as they failed to destroy any of the panzer IV’s.
Turn 2 German
Enraged by the death of there 2IC, the panthers return fire on the 76’s, destroying three of them and bailing another. Panzer IV’s return fire on the flanking shermans, destroying two of them and bailing another. The 88’s fire on the same shermans and manage to bail 2 of them. The panzer IV’s fire on the Shermans in the woods but fail to harm them.
Turn 3 USA
No reserves arrive this turn. The 76’s fail there morale check and disengage. The stuarts launch a daring flanking move and get 5 hits on one of the panthers and manage to destroy it with their little 37mm.
Turn 3 German
No reserves for the Germans either. The Panzer IV’s wipe out the rest of the Shermans in the village and the panthers blow up one of the stuarts. All other fire in ineffective.
Turn 4 USA
Still no reserves. The shermans in the woods manage to destroy 2 of the panzer IV’s and bail 2 of them. Stuarts continue making flanking moves and manage to bail another Panther. The 105’s fire score three hits on the shermans but fail to do any damage with their bombardment.
Turn 4 German
No reserves for the Germans either. Panzer IV’s fail the morale and pull out. Panzer IV’s destroy one of the shermans in the woods and one of the Sherman 105’s. Panther destroy another of the Stuarts.


Turn 5 USA
M10’s finally arrive. The shermans destroy 1 Panzer IV and bail another. The stuarts score two more hits on the panthers side but fail to penetrate.
Turn 5 German
Another Panzer IV platoon and a full battery of wespes arrive from reserve. Panzer IV’s destroyed two shermans in the woods and bail another. The panthers destroy another Stuart and they fail their morale check and pull out.
Last Turn 6 USA
The priests and Armoured infantry finally arrive from reserve. Shermans in the woods manage to destroy another Panzer IV.
Last Turn 6 German
The Puma’s and Armoured infantry arrive from reserve. Panzer IV’s destroy another Sherman in the woods and they fail there morale check and pull out. Panthers make a final push and fire on the armoured infantry, but fail to hit.

Conclusion
With none of the objectives captured it was the germans that came out the winner, due to more platoons destroyed or retreated. It was a close game with some daring moves from the Americans, but I think the superiority of the panzers won the day. The Sherman stabilisers are very good when launching attacks, as you can fire at full rate of fire at a -1 modifier.

USA Losses
76mm Sherman Platoon (5)
2 Full Sherman Platoons (10)
1 Full Stuart Platoon (5)
German Losses
Panzer IV Platoon (5)

All that great FOW content and no comments!!!

Just need to finish off the last M20 Utility and it's obs infantry and that platoon is all done ;-)

Oh and repainted the 50 cal stand on the jeep, as it was bright green lol!!!!

Here are the priests dug in

And then the M10's

Nice. Are they the prepainted battlefront dug-in markers?

They are the ones ;-)

Finished just over half of the armoured infantry platoon












Automatically Appended Next Post:

Made a school boy error on the armoured infantry, I had given them all the half-tracks 50 cals, when three of them should have had AA MG's. You can upgrade them to 50's for another 15 points but only if they are from Hell on wheels!!! I have removed them now to have the correct AA MG's lol.

Only two more stands of infantry to finish, pictures to follow shortly.

Can you post a pic of one of the halftracks with the AA MG instead as well please?

Just got to base the last two stands and then the whole platoon is finished, then I will get the pictures put up mate.

The Armoured platoon is now completed
