5 - Panther Tanks
DSP
Sporadic Air Support - Stuka Bombers

Game 1 - Vs German Panzerkompanie

My Panzers take the building with line of sight to the objective. Opponents Panzers straddle the forrest shooting out.


Panthers charge for the objective cautiously as not to give free shots at their side armor.

After one Panzer goes down, the company command stormtroopers to the side of the building away from the flanking Panzers.

Reinforcements with 2iC come in behind enemy lines to to destroy the Jagpanthers and draw out the Panzers from the forrest.

Center table is a stalemate as the Panzers try to destroy the Panthers but only get bailed over and over again. The sole active Panther whittles the enemy Panzers away.

Another set of reinforcements arrive. Stugs charge to help the 2iC Panthers out.

2iC Panthers take the Objective on the enemies side of the table but still need to eliminate the last Panzer contesting it.

Center table Panthers finally break the Panzers and move on the objective.

The enemy flanking Panzers try to eiliminate my Panzers in the rubble trying to claim their objective. (Building is close enough to have the Panzer within 4 inches of the objective).

The back objective is won!

Game 2 - Vs US Tank Destroyer Company

This was a very one sided battle. I was attacker and defender had choice of table side. As luck would have it the table set up had half full of forests and other half with hills. Being a Tank Hunter Ambush army, defender took the forest and did nothing but wait for clear shots to my tanks. (IMO, something has to be done about the ambush rule as it is overpowered)

Not looking good for my tanks. As soon as my tanks tried to charge the objective, my opponent popped out his tank hunter guns.

Even with reinforcements, the ambush just sat back and didn't even try to call his own reinforements.

After my Panthers were able to destroy most of his infantry, my opponent finally calls in reserves.

The three remaining Panthers try to break the AT guns in the forest before the reinforcement tanks reach the objective.

Turn 6 arrives and defenders hold strong. Battle is lost.

Game 3 - Vs German Motorized

This army had a devastating bombardment with his Panzerwerfers. So, my strategy was to spread out my tanks in a way he can only get 1 tank per shot.

The guns behind the field were my target as they were closest to the objective.

My Panthers didn't worry about the gun in the rubble but the guns in the field kept making their saves.

All my tanks fired on those guns and my opponent kept making his saves.

Down to the last turn, my Panzers breakthrough but still cannot destroy any of the guns.

My opponents finally gets his reinforcements and assault my Panther but it's moot as the game was already lost.


Won best painted. The organizer won first place which I believe should not have been allowed as the organizer only played due to the odd number of players.

Some of those Panzers look very nice - are the fully painted ones yours? Any chance of some close-ups?

It is a shame to see games with nothing but Panzers. It's strikingly similar to WH40k, with its Marine v Marine games. I know it's a hybrid 'fun'/historical wargame, but it loses a lot when everyone wants to play Germans.

I will try to get clear photos soon. The last tournament I posted was all allied armies and I was the only axis player. So, it's kind of hit and miss here in vegas.

Wait, the organizer won?

And kept the prize?!

What a douche!

Yup, he did keep the prize and left without helping to clean up the tables.
