Obergefreiter Bauer is joined by Oberleutnant Beck - at close range the withering fire of the German MG42 and two SMG's decimates the British, they are forced to flee, their victory at achieving their objective short-lived...<br />

The battle is effectively over...but have the German forces been delayed for long enough?<br />

<br />
Another good game of Chain of Command! The battle ebbed and flowed throughout and it looked like it could have gone either way at one point. Andrew saw a slim chance of victory as the German left flank weakened. Half a section was all that stood between him and taking a German jump off point. Another jump off point was tantalisingly close to this which would have essentially ended the German advance. A decisive action and brave (if foolhardy) charge by two sections of British almost pulled it off...unfortunately the immense firepower of the German sections remaining MG42, bolstered by two SMG's at close range proved too much. The slaughter that ensued was too much for the British and their attack was halted.<br />
<br />
Figures are a mix of Black Tree, Bolt Action, Crusader, Artizan and Pulp. Terrain is mostly Andrews, including his lovely new battle-mat.<br />

Some pics from a recent Bolt Action game played with my bro-in-law Jimsy.<br />

First time I had played (Jimsy had many games under his belt) so we started simple with about three squads per side, me as the Jerry and Jimsy as a unit of Paras.<br />

*****************************************</div>
<br />
It was as close as you could come to a draw but the bro-in-law ultimately won out.<br />
<br />
Enjoyed the game in general but it seems pretty basic after playing Chain of Command, which is definitely my favourite WW2 game at the moment.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There also seemed to be some weird imbalance where despite my well built in defensive positions, veteran troops and stock of MG42's the Paras easily ran up and overwhelmed my troops with ease due to the 'Blood curdling charge' rule.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyhow, kind of fun but doubt I will play using these rules again...</div>

<br />
This was difficult for the Germans as they only had one anti tank weapon. The mortar they had only had HE so was not fired once.<br />
<br />
The French armored cars had to wait to withdraw until a third car caught up with them.<br />
<br />
The Germans tried to maneuver froward and knock out a car via either machine guns (mostly ineffective but do stop them firing/moving) and use of the antitank weapon.<br />
<br />
On the last turn before the French withdraw intact a HMG forced the last remaining armored car to panic, withdrawing by 2". This then put it square in the sites of the antitank weapon. The result the car was immobilized resulting in a German win.<br />
<br />

It wasn't long before they had two squads and the HQ on the table.<br />
<br />

<br />
The French were another matter entirely. For several phases they only managed to activate their two senior leaders and one squad!<br />
<br />

<br />
The Germans took no time to advance through the village, taking up a defensive point in the large building.<br />
<br />

Finally the French brought on another unit, this time one of their tanks. It promptly fired a few shots over the German heads!<br />

<br />
The third German squad entered the village to the French right flank. The defenders were looking like they may be very quickly overwhelmed after only a few phases...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

...indeed the German squad to the left flank had soon overrun one of the French jump off points!<br />

<br />
A view of the battlefield - at this stage the Germans had three squads on the table, one in the large white building (the figures a short distance to the right of the picture are 'in' the building) another one just on the edge of the town square (to the left of the picture) and the last by the fencing. The French had one squad, two senior leaders and a tank.<br />

The French then cam under fire from the Jerry across the town square...<br />

What followed was a bizarre series of die rolling (by me) that resulted in 6 double 6's being rolled (!!!!), thus carrying the turn over to the French for a long period of play.<br />

First up, another French squad took up residence in the old medieval tower just off the town square - a perfect position to shoot at the Jerry below!<br />
<br />

The third French squad then entered the field just behind them.<br />

<br />
A massive fire-fight then erupted across the town. The French concentrated most of their firepower on the more exposed Germans by the town square - caught in the open and with the turn constantly carried over to the French they didn't stand a chance - after a few turns all that remained was the shocked MG crew and their unconscious Gefreiter. Not surprisingly they fled the field!<br />

Deciding they were too exposed they retreated to the relative safety of a stone wall - unfortunately not all of them made it and those caught behind ended up taking some hits.<br />

We didn't get to play a full game but it all ran pretty smoothly, rulebook referencing was fairly minimal and all present enjoyed! The French looked like they were going to be severely battered within a few rounds of play but my ridiculous rolling streak of double 6's (yes, 6, surely some kind of record?) turned things around and the French almost looked like they could snatch it. Could have gone either way when we had to wrap up the game.<br />

<i>The Battle</i><br />
<br />
The Germans moved up to take defensive positions. The first squad headed for the larger of the two ruined houses but could only get as far as the dense cover of the forest nearby. The second squad took cover in the smaller ruined farmhouse with part of the squad (with the MG) set up along the bocage.<br />

The British began their assault by moving one squad through the fields to their left flank and a second squad holed up in the farmhouse ruin to their right flank - just beating a German squad there!<br />

*******************************************</div>
<br />
Things almost panned out as near to a draw as you can get but ultimately the Germans moral crumbled at the end. Despite this they had held the British back and delayed them significantly. The British probably were the clear victors as they still had a tank and a reasonably healthy squad. The Jerry were reduced to pretty much a Junior Officer (Hauptmann Matz) and one rather shocked panzershreck man!<br />
<br />
Another great game - we probably procrastinated and the battle took the whole day but with a few more games under our belts (and maybe more regular play) it should start to all come together.<br />

Figures are a mix of Bolt Action, Black Tree, Crusader and Artizan belonging to Andrew and myself.</div>

<br />
Not 100% certain as to the colours although they seem to match the colour pictures I have. Squad 2 and the command squad are ready for undercoat but no idea how long it will be to I get to them as I really should be doing more Germans.<br />
<br />
Now I just need to find that artillery piece and but a second MG and crew and a decent size force to be fielded.<br />
<br />
No flock on the bases as I plan to use varying flock on each squad to differentiate them.<br />

<br />
Found some photos from the TWaT game earlier in the year - most were unusable but I thought I would post what I could salvage! I took charge of the Germans in the first game and Rob (GM) in the second. Andy controlled the British in both games.<br />
<br />
<i>Location: somewhere in France during 1944.</i><br />
<br />
<i>A battle weary and depleted platoon of Germans under Gefreiter Hugo Lutz spot a possible place to hunker down for the night - an old farmhouse sitting in the middle of a mess of bocage. Unbeknownst to the small unit of Germans, a 'lost' unit of British soldiers has had the same idea...</i><br />
<br />
<b><u>Game #1.</u></b><br />
<br />
Objective: capture and secure the farmhouse.<br />
<br />
2 sections per side with one HMG in support.<br />
<br />
<b>Germans</b><br />

The British completely butchered the Germans in this game. Everything ultimately revolved on the first combat of the game, a bloody hand to hand fight in the confines of the farmhouse. The British won this fight hands down sending the German 2nd section fleeing, who were subsequently caught in the open and mowed down where they stood, killing several including the Section Leader, Gefreiter Horst. The German 1st section could do nothing to force the British from their stronghold and retreated.<br />
<br />
For the second game we added a 'Big Man' and another section to each side. Andy kept control of the British who had now established a defensive point at the farmhouse. Rob took control of the Germans this time and their objective was to force the British from here.<br />
<br />
<i>The injured Gefreiter Lutz reports back to Hauptmann Waechter at HQ. After looking a various maps, the farmhouse is recognised as a potential strong point, covering an important part of the road network. The Hauptmann decides to accompany three sections to force the British out and take hold of the objective.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Meanwhile, Lieutenant Hugh Martin arrives with the rest of his section to bolster the defence of the farmhouse...</i><br />

Play ended here as we ran out of time - it was a hard one to call at this point.<br />
<br />
The British 1st Section under Corporal Smith (mentioned in dispatches) had taken a battering but the rest of the platoon and 'Big Man' Lieutenant Martin was untouched. The Germans had taken minimal casualties to Leutnant Werfel's 3rd Section, who were effective in their hand to hand clash with the Brits. Hauptmann Reinhard had joined Werfel's advance so it was looking bad for Corporal Smith's men if they stuck around. Meanwhile, the German 'Big Man' Hauptmann Waechter, along with the section HMG and a squad had begun peppering the farmhouse with fire. The British we effectively caught on both sides but had a strong defensive position, something the Germans previously had trouble dislodging them from!<br />
<br />
As mentioned before, a good game all round but it certainly made more sense in the second game. The rules were a little clearer but more importantly, the addition of a 'Big Man' and another section to each side allowed more tactical options which is ultimately the point of the game.<br />
<br />
Good stuff all round but now both Rob and I have picked up the new TFL WWII rules <a href="http://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=1505" target="_blank">Chain of Command</a>!<br />

<br />
We finally made a decision on what set of rules to try out and at last got to play our first game of Troops, Weapons & Tactics. Rob, Andy and myself gathered our mix of terrain and figures and set up a couple of 'playtest' games only to realise that all three of us had only really skim read the rules...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_lgCWQs9sS0L5_g1_wz0bCf21ckTeHJ6SAm0shbCSURusFFwezWBWmGJCdVNWl3VpcjUttQ1e9h2Kh74OJ5Jnw0EwyWAstoeyxW8SpKYIuABQ-eh_l4x1MeCeRFApeSSFmqRJeF4bzEwY/s1600/Photo1548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_lgCWQs9sS0L5_g1_wz0bCf21ckTeHJ6SAm0shbCSURusFFwezWBWmGJCdVNWl3VpcjUttQ1e9h2Kh74OJ5Jnw0EwyWAstoeyxW8SpKYIuABQ-eh_l4x1MeCeRFApeSSFmqRJeF4bzEwY/s320/Photo1548.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Despite this, after much page flicking we managed to get to grips with the majority of the system and were even able to cram two games into the afternoon. The rulebook itself could probably do with a better layout - as beginners we found the some of the rules too spaced out across the book, meaning all three of us rustling through our copies as we double checked if we had remembered a rule correctly.<br />
<br />

<br />
The two games were played over the same terrain set up with a central farmhouse playing the key objective in both. We were left with a fairly satisfied feeling with them overall and the desire to use the rules again - hopefully this time with a better idea of what we are doing!<br />

<br />
I also picked up the ruined version but have yet to tackle it. As this was the first attempt at a 4Ground building I really had no idea but following the instructions proved to be pretty simple even for me. One thing I would say is that a couple of the pictures on the instructions are not overly clear and I am sure at least one was in reverse! Having said that, it is all fairly instinctive and everything fitted together perfectly. I would recommend a good strong PVA glue (unlike the cheapo stuff I was using) as I ended up using a dab of super glue to fix the outer walls of the roof section.<br />
<br />
A few quick pics, with a couple of Artizan British Paras I am working on for scale -<br />

I opted for the 'no damage' look as I intend to use this for various periods and may well buy another to mix and match with the destroyed version.<br />
<br />
The layers come apart simply and sit on little tabs at the corner of each floor. It all fits nice and snug and is quite sturdy on the two lower levels as the walls are effectively double thickness.<br />
<br />
There is loads of room inside the buildings but I did find that my 2p based models are not able to stand in the doorways or stairwell. Anything up to about 25mm base size will fit perfectly well though. Good job most of my WW2 stuff is on 1p bases then!<br />
<br />
Hopefully it will get to see some tabletop action soon as we are planning to have a first game of Troops, Weapons & Tactics in the near future!<br />
