| The game setup. I am the Germans and need to keep the Russians from capturing the Pillbox under the Russian Sniper counter and also hold them away from 3 of the 4 victory buildings. |
 |
| The Russians come onboard and my captured AMD 35 armored car fires! And Misses! During my first Player turn it fires and misses again! It fires IF and misses yet again... |
 |
| The Russians fire a measly LMG and Immob the AMD, my crew fails morale and bails out... |
 |
| The Russian T70 Overruns on their second turn, my crew survives and tries to pull out a Faust - ending up Pinned... |
 |
| On the plus side my squad with LMG and leader direction little stuns an open topped SU76 |
 |
| Russian Turn 2 CC puts the crew of the AC out of my misery... |
 |
| Things start looking up on German turn 2, the AA gun goes on a ROF tear Immobilizing the SU76 and Killing a T70 outright. |
 |
| On Russian turn 3 the German sniper strikes! |
 |
| The OT T70 Tank commander is selected as a target (in my next game I was taught that T70 are Tankettes so nor riders allowed). All of the Russian Vehicles are now either Immobile, Recalled, or Destroyed. |
 |
| Russian Turn 4. The MG nest with the leader in the middle of my line should have fallen back, instead he fired and in return fire the squad was DM so the leader had to break to go with them since he was pinned by the same shot. |
 |
| I then compounded the stupid by having the Concealed squad and leader go after two enemy 628 squads in CC, my guys survived the first turn but were finished off in the second. |
 |
| End of Game on Allied turn 6 (out of 7). The gun went on another ROF tear DMing a 628 squad next to the pillbox and the squad and leader just below it in this pic. My 9-1 leader never managed to rally himself or his troops - being shot at while falling back so always being DM. One turn I am flying high with all the Russian armor mostly out of it (the SU76 made it through the whole game and eventually broke the gun crew though they had to abandon their vehicle a few times after getting hit again as well) - the next turn my line crumpled up like a wet paper bag and I felt like this fellow. |
So now I have a new T-shirt for my game days
Next report is on ASL08 - To the Square.
