WWII PLATOON VOTING RESULTS:
Voters, By Period - 1945 Eastern Front

I believe it was a scenario covering the German advance into Belgium. Infantry div elements pushing up densely wooded roads. Elements of Das Reich airlifted into rear areas. Belgians reinforced by French cavalry. Slow German progress up board with resulting "historical" victory. [7 Apr 99]

My last battle was the British involvement in the battle for the Ardennes (something which is not well written about).

TAC:WWII as usual gave a thoroughly good feel for the battle, the tactics used and the formations. It allows flexibility, yet accurate historical representation.

In this battle, the guards division advanced, to help our American cousins who were in the doo doo, YET AGAIN. The British advanced with the armour taking on the King Tigers, while the infantry took the Panzer Grenadiers. This action was a delaying action until the rest of the division was able to arrive and halt the German advance. Very thrilling action with the armour almost being destroyed, while the infantary held their own. The whole flavour of the game could only be experianced through Tac. [6 Apr 99]

Actually I´m in middle of an game (Spearhead) where I´m functioning as an umpire. The scenario is from "Where the Ironcrosses grow" (eastern front supplements and scenarios for Spearhead rule. The 11 German pz div. is attacking russian infantery suported by two hvy tank reg. I´m playing the tactical situations (all the moves and cobats e.t.c.) while the players give their units orders by contact me by phone or e-mail. [6 Apr 99]

Spearhead set in Russia '41. Non historical-non competition game A Motorized Inf Reg (two Battalions) and a Motorcycle Battalion with Stuka support force a river crossing against a Russian Infantry Reg (three Battalions with support) who have to defend three different possible crossing sites. The Russans bring up a Tank Brigade to reduce the bridgehead before the Germans can bring over their Recon and Panzer Battalion. They manage to prevent this but the Germans held the bridgehead. [29 Mar 99]

Two German tank battalions, two infantry batalions and a motorcycle battalion attacked a Soviet force of two infantry battalions, one cav regiment and a tank regiment. Important lessons learned - Pz111 can't afford to trade blows with T34 and KV1s. [28 Mar 99]

Last night we played a real hum-dinger. Rommels attack at the 1st battle of El Alamein. Except that this time Rommel got enough gas to do the wide swing he wanted. Mass death & destruction never before seen by man. A good time was had by all! ;-) [28 Mar 99]
