Mike Leathem – Battle Report – German vs US 1944

Mike’s been trying out some of the new rules from Combat HQ2.

Last night we played a two player game. Battalion sized game reduced strength US infantry, 1944, defending three villages. Germans focused their attack on a single flank and once the defenders had engaged it was difficult to keep the defenders intact and still have enough command to reinforce them from the opposite flank. Really great game resulting in an overpowering win for Germans, not me.

German big push came with the arrival of two Panthers. The US responded with two M4s and an M4 76mm.

A few comments.

We played with new stats for Panzergrenadiers. RD 4 but they had high suppression which felt right.

We also didn’t use GTG but RD stats were raised by one.

Biggest effect was with mortars. no reaction fire for them now and this was perfect. so much better.

We had a fantastic night and looking forward to more games.

Big thank you to my tormentor on the night Brynski
