So we don't break this out to often, but we had a request from one of your newer players to the group to break out the 1.32 scale skirmish game from forces of valor the toy company-"battle tactics"


We used the stores saving private ryan table so it saved me set up time.

Game 1 was a bridge assault with the german forces defending.

after several turns of not being able to hit anything the german forces were forced back to the bridge. loosing all their infantry. the panther was the first tank to die. the jagdpanther put in a good showing but was eventually abandoned after the crew was killed.

Now for part 2, i was tired and needed to get some sleep so i could finish this.

Game 2 was even bigger VS an american force. i was able to use all my german forces save the plane.

This time we put 2 tables together for a 8X8 game in a desert setting. Once again the panther was the first thing to die, we had a bit of everything else happen-tank over-runs of infantry, infantry assaulting vehicles. lots of shots bouncing off their intended targets. quite a few of the vehicles took damage to crew or mobility but it wasn't until the US player lost both his pershings that the game was decided.


The german side-
.king tiger
.jagdpanther
.panther
.whirblewind
.sdkfz 250/1
.shwimmerwagon w/second officer
.commanding officer
.X3 infantry squads

Spoiler:


The US side
.X2 pershing
. sherman EZ8
.quad 50 halftrack
.X2 halftrack
.jeep with second officer
.P-51 mustang
.X3 infantry squads

been a very long time, but there was some interest in WWII games, so we broke out the big scale skirmish game for forces of valor.

Soviet forces advance through a German held town.

The T-34/85s tried to gang up on the Jagdpanther in the open and did manage to damage it but not enough to save them before the king tiger got to the fight (the thing is so slow).

the Soviet force mainly killed the German infantry but lost all their tanks in the process. with minor damage to the panther & Jagdpanther.

A very fast paced fun little game.

another run through forces of valor skirmish system with a demo game. this time around we used halved ranges for a smaller table. still a great fight. the only thing that saved the AXIS was the BF109 making several successful strafing attacks.

it effectively ended in a draw, very tough game.

Long time since we last did some battle tactics. it's a fun skirmish game but we are usually so busy doing other games it doesn't get much love.

We broke out the Stalingrad table.

The Axis side-

X2 panzer grenadier squads
X1 honemag
X1 Schwimmer wagon
X1 panther
X1 STUGG IIIG
X1 panzer IV H

The soviet side
X3 T34/85s
X4 rifle combat teams.

All infantry squads were carrying AT weapons. the axis side lost the Schwimmer, panzer IV, all but one grenadier and took damage on both the STUGG and panther. but the panther saved the day taking out all 3 T34s giving the remaining force time to chew through the infantry.-

Axis win-
