Panzerschreck 2016 Report Part 2

After a good night of board gaming and general banter we were ready for the final days gaming. First up was the army parade which ill put in another post. Our first game was up vs some good friends of ours.

Game 4
Mission - Pincer
Team - FCUK (French Connection U.K
Players - Damien Tyson and Andrew Shepard
Armies - British tanks and French tanks.

We were defending in this battle. So we started with my whole half of the army on with AT guns in ambush.

The French heavies start chipping away at my men.

I spring my ambush in turn 3 but all I manage is to bail a few tanks.

My T-28's charge in to contest the objective while the Char B tanks chew through my infantry. Warren's Panzer 2's come on to flank the H35's

In the end we kill one H35 for the loss of most of our force and the game.

There wasn't much we could do but hold on and hope I could assault the tanks with enough men to surround them and kill them that way. But it wasn't to be a 6-1 loss well done Shep and Damo.

Game 5
Mission - Dust up
Team - Clocks running times awasting
Players - Ken Camel and Greg Lockton
Armies -German 35-T tanks and German Recce.

Ken and Greg's setup.

Our setup My T-28's, an infantry platoon and the panzer 1's where in reserve.

Greg and Ken's plan of attack was very aggressive and shots would be fired on mass from turn one.

We luckily only had a couple of tanks bailed so with some quick remounting we opened fire.

Our lines appear to be holding Warren scores a few kills and a few bails.

Mean while on turn 3 my T-28's cam on machine gunned most of the recce platoon to death. Then made a B-line for the objective which at the moment was undefended.

Ken's first platoon of reserves arrive and head for our objective. But with a little motivation from my commissar assault and kill a tank and drive the other off.

Ken's and Greg's forceful march is starting to cost them Warren is starting to rack up quite a few kills. With the loss of only one platoon.

After my T-28's dispatch of the Panzerjager 1's that came back to defend we catch the objective without too much trouble.

 We were surprised by the speed and aggressiveness that Ken and Greg used but had they broke through we would of been in trouble. But it wasn't to be for them we took the game 5-2.
Warren and I felt we did much better this year just going for points not wins to keep the points ticking over. We only failed to score a extra point in one game. All our opponents were great and we had a lot of fun. We were quite happy with our mid table result we look forward to next year.
