Over two days Richard and I played a game of Blitzkrieg
Commander using his very extensive model collection and his custom built
terrain. While both a bit rusty with the
rules, they played well and gave a fast moving game. We hadn’t bothered with points or anything –
it was more to use the figures and rules.
The German advance was held up in the marshes and a the
Russian armour counter attack, while menacing, was ground down by wait of
number son the German right and by a skilful deployment of Stugs on their left
(aided by a very good commander). Both
sides had lots of command problems which gave a good air of uncertainty and
difficulty.
If we were to play again we should probably be more deliberate
on the terrain effects – how dense is the forest, where does its affects come
into play, etc.
The only odd thing was the German Forward Air Controller
seeming to be able to wander dangerously close to the Russians without much
risk.
The German recon unit above did a lot of fighting.
In the above picture the German FAC is way out in front on the left hand side. Coming down the road is some heavy duty Soviet armour.
In the above picture the KVII has caused the Germans to pause and consider the consequnces of further advances.
