Kevin Kane – Franco-Prussian War
Rules: Modified Nach Paris, 24mm, 4-6 Players
A French Corp has been ordered to turn and face the Prussians once again. They are fortunate to have a heavy gun emplacement protecting one of their flanks. Will it be enough? Already dark blue masses are surging towards the French line with more marching fast behind. Krupp guns move into position. A mitrailleuse battery rattles into action…
I will be doing a separate write up for this battle which I played in. More to follow!
John Macone – Saving General Paulus
Rules: Modified/simplified Battlefront (basically Fire & Fury for WW2) , 15mm, 4-6 Players
It’s mid December in 1942, and the battle of Stalingrad has taken a dramatic turn. The Soviets have encircled Paulus’ 6th Army and are steadily strangling it. 6th Army’s only hope is Operation Winter Storm, a German counteroffensive intended to break through the Soviet bearhug. The German armored advance moves quickly through the surprised Soviet defense, until it hits a little crossroads village called Verkhny-Kumsky. The fate of Paulus and his men will be decided by a head-on armored engagement at this town, pitting Mark IIIs and IVs vs. T-70s, T-34s and KV1s. And some infantry, Stukas and Katyuskas just to round things out.
AJ Wright – Kampfgruppe Counter Attack
Rules: AJ’s Iron Cross multi-player variant, “Iron Cross Action”, 28mm, 4-7 Players
Date: 28 June 1944, 1330 hours
Location: Just South of Granville at Le Valtru, Normandy
History: Nearly simultaneously with the attack along the Villers-Bocage-Caen road, Kampfgrouppe Weidinger attacked to the south of Granville to secure the structures and orchards of Le Valtru. Just prior to the German attack, elements of D-Company Seaforth Highlanders had occupied this important and defensible terrain. The British were just consolidating their position when the German attack began.
