Jim's Panzers v. Mike's Soviets
The battle was fought with our house rules for WWII.
Deployment was by platoon in order of coloured dice out of a bag BA style.
the Germans have MkIV's & Stugs on the ridge on their left, 2 Tigers & a mechanised infantry platoon behind the village. The Germans advanced their tanks off the hill to get into range of the T34/85's & do some damage before the T34/76's got around their flank. But the Soviet's had the advantages of hull down, defensive fire. & better dice.
The infantry of both sides was content to grab part of the village & hunker down while the big boys slugged it out.The Germans turned their remaining Tiger & their Stugs to face the T34/76's on their flank while the MkIV's advanced to cover to keep the T34/85's busy. But they missed every shot - the only T34/76 to die being picked off by the panzerschrek hiding behind a half track.A shower of good dice by the T34's destroyed the Stugs & the writing is on the wall for the Germans as the T34/85s swarm forward.The lone remaining Tiger is facing 6 T34's, the 3 surviving MkIVs are facing 6 T34/85. It's only a matter of time.The Panzers have been destroyed & the Panzergrenadiers in the village are doomed.
The Soviet flanking manoeuvre backed with good dice secured them a decisive victory.
