We're getting stuck into the middle of the battle now with Jim and Dave as they fight out a rather cautious battle around the objective.
The British hung back here, looking to sucker the Germans in. Will they be able to withstand the withering amount of firepower coming in from the British and hold the objective?
We shall have to see how this one turns out by the end of the day. Are we soon seeing the flanks cracking too?
British cavalry (armor here) has always been known for being a bit rash!
Maybe sitting close enough to the objective to deny the enemy but not make yourself a sitting duck might work better – easy to second guess from the sidelines but we’ll see – maybe the Panzer IV’s will thin the Grants out more rapidly than expected
Yep @dorthonion , watch how long I last now that I’m hull down behind those courtyard walls and buildings, standing on the objective. 😀 In all honesty. though, the board was really set up to favor my side. Notice there is no nice terrain on the British side to hide behind close enough to score VP (4″ from the objective marker).
But, hopefully that’s what marks a good commander. Spot the advantage and take it.
Keep it up DAK.
I concur, Let’s go DAK! It is time to rule the sands and walk like an Egyptian
Come on dak
Come on you DAK. Should be making mince meat out of the British
Those tanks look great
Love the new dice
If hes dead…hes dead…righto! Now finish him!!
I particularly like “he can score all the victory points he wants . . .”
Yeah, I can. 😀 That’s what determines the winner.
Of course, if Dave kills me, he takes the objective and gets credit for holding it through both German and British turns through the rest of the mega game. The game will run 8 turns, so if he does it on Turn 3, he gets those VP on Turns 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 x 2 = 10 VP.
Great fun for all .
Geez that makeshift German fort in the middle is under siege by a ton of tanks!
It certainly was, @volksbane . It’s super-fast in the video, but when the camera zooms in you can see some additional British tanks coming in from Andrew’s board (the tanks are behind Justin. I’m already betting flanked from other tables, by the time it’s all over I will have fought tanks from four separate players. I won’t spoil the ending . . .
The mini’s are really impressive for the scale, might have to get me some of them! *goes to check FLGS’s website
To bad for oriskany, he is on the wrong side. The British might attack his flank.
Might? They already are! And more are coming! By the time this battle is over I fight the tanks of Dave, Andrew, John, and Bothi. It takes the whole British army to take down “Kampfgruppe Oriskany!”
GO DAK GO! Awesome all! Keep it up!
surprised the rats didn’t go for the cheese themselves, nice coverage guys.
FTW DAK maybe the whole battle swaps side and the germans go to cairo and the brits to tunesia without any more conflict =P
Great! Love the tension and I am looking forward to see one side to start rolling the front sideways!
Game is playing out great. It will be an exciting finish.
Could Jim and Daves battle be pivotal to the campaign as in with the current stale mate holding up either sides advance
It really does come down to our table @davidquinn77 , although in all fairness I only last as long as I do because of the awesome support of Tom on my immediate left wing ( @gambit505 )
Attack of the giant cotton balls!
Well now to see how long the panzers can hold out against the british firepower.
very curious to see how effective the flank attacks will be once they are unlocked as games finish.
Tide seems to be turning…
Really like the idea of the mega game with the ability to flank if you beat your opponent.
DAK on the rise!
Very interesting battle.
