Gold Beach Wargame - Second Video Posted
Part II of our Gold Beach Panzer Leader game (myself with the Germans, @brucelea and @damon with the British) has now been posted on the Sitrep YouTube channel. Now that all the rules, units, history, and initial landings are out of the way, this video jumps straight into the carnage with improved sound, music, and a lot more combat. We see Royal Engineer AVREs blowing up beach obstacles, pipers striding out of landing craft, steadfast defense by German coastal troops, British armored bridgelayers, and Flail tanks clearing lanes through German minefields.
The Germans are just about starting to crack (maybe ???) But have the British lost too much already? And will my reserves be able to seal the breach? 🙂
British units: 1st Hampshire Rifles, 1st Dorsetshire Rifles, 2nd Devonshire Rifles (231st Brigade), “B” Assault Squadron / 6th Royal Engineers, Winchester Dragoons.
German units: Infantry Division 352 (Grenadier Rgt 916, III. Battalion) and elements of 441 “East” Battalion, Infantry Rgt 726, 716 Static Infantry Division.
More good fun. You even left in my ‘little outburst’ when I rolled double six for the flail tank landings…
Thanks, @damon . Moments like that (both happy and not-so-happy) are the best parts in my opinion. Those are the moments that happen at a gaming table. That said, I can certainly clip them out if you prefer. 🙂
And of course I’ll admit one more time that I should have put block counters every four hexes instead of every three hexes.
I don’t mind if you don’t mind the F bombs. Quite funny really, got a laugh…
I give no F***s about any f***ing f-bombs. 😀
Oh F@“k! Did I F@“$¥€g swear?
** BEEEP **
Nine hours of not swearing is physically impossible for a squadie, unless they are drunk and asleep. Even then I’m not too sure ???
@brucelea and @damon – My formative years:
Working on construction sites with my Dad since I was 12.
US Marine Corps at 17.
Warehouses and more construction sites after that until 30.
Yeah, f*** it.
Sideways.
With a chainsaw.
