Marc Rebhun of HMGS South has sent me a battle report from a game he ran few years ago at the Recon Convention. The game features the 2nd Battle Of Kharkov, 19 May 1942, and uses the Rapid Fire rules.

One of the things Marc and I were chatting about was how he used pre-programmed orders in the games he runs at various conventions to play the defenders with other gamers taking on the role of the attackers. He sent me the report so that I could see it in action.  As I liked the report, I decided to share it

Here’s the link.

To relax after taking photos of his excellent 20mm models for Kampfgruppe Commander, Colonel Mustard and has built and painted an IBG Models Chevrolet C15A No.13 Cab in 1/72 scale.

Go to his site to read his commentary and to see more photos.
