A local
gaming club in Aalborg 9K had a small earlywar tournament (3 games). Earlywar
is the ETC period this year and finally more focus on this FOW period locally.
I have not
use my Blitzkrieg French since 9. April 2011 !!! When I the tournament was announced,
I hurried to sign up. The French got at small boost in 3th edition. One man turret don’t forbids shooting when moving and my MG gets 2 shoots when pinned.
Great stuff.
I played
and almost identical list as 3 ½ years ago, only swapping HQ 25mm for and 81 mm

It was a
blue vs. blue event and it was possible to meet T-34 and KV and other heavy
tanks.
It was fun
to play earlywar again. I needed to get used to the short ranges, a couple of
time I did overestimate the range of my AT and deployed it too deep on the
board.
I played
vs. 1 British armored company from Africa, 1 Japanese infantry, and 1 French
Char 1 company
