Playing some short and long scenarios since my friend and I have some time. Almost finished with our foray into Italy 1944 and started the Eastern Front 1944 for a bit. I played as the Germans in all three.
OA6 Mounted Extraction. Germans have to exit 28 VP of units off the board. All four tanks can easily exit as they enter where they are supposed to exit. That means at least four points of infantry must exit. Without mounting as riders, I figured it would take five of six turns to exit some infantry. On turn five I was poised to exit two leaders, three squads, and all the tanks using armored assault. Two shots by the Russians broke a leader and two squads. Lost by one point. Tense cat and mouse game.
G5 Six Came Back. As bleak as the name sounds. The Americans didn’t get mauled, but their starting position is not very good. Broke enough guys that FTR kills and prisoners were becoming commonplace. Ended this one early as there just doesn't seem like much for the Americans to do. Neither one of us liked this scenario.
ITR-16 The Fighting Tank Busters. Crazy hot dice for me. Got critical hits with the OBA, the Nashorn, and a CH on the lone British AT Gun. Even if it wasn’t for that – which was pretty considerable – the two modules of OBA put a serious hurting on the poor British. I lost one tank. Called it early. ROAR has it 7-1 pro German. I’d say that’s about right.
