I deployed all my troops to attack towards at single objective in the right quarter. Jesper trainer Panther got stuck the woods a lot, even though equipped with widetracks. Placed between the M10 and Challenger they got easily destroyed. 

My 2 recon units worked overtime lifting gone to the ground and I was able to clear the objective. Jespers scattered reserves didn’t help him arriving in the opposite corner.

5-4

Game 2: 

Micheals Grenadiers

Played surrounded for the first time. I didn’t concentrate and deployed all wrong and forgot my place M10s. I split my force in 2, I should have made a single push from the river side of the board.

Did try for a long time to grab a single point but failed.

1-6

Cromwells/Challengers vs. Stugs

The King is crowed

We had a mini tournament at KILANI. 3 games, lots candy and coffee. We are defiantly going to tried it again.

Table: 

1.       Christian – USSR Tankvoy

2.       Lars – Uk 1. army Tunisia

3.       Niels – US rifles

4.       Lasse – Tyske panzer grenadiers (med 2 Tigere)

Ud fra Niels smil, må Lasse ikke være god til at slå med terninger

Lars laver et Night attack med 6 Churchills

Mange baser betyder mange kan blive ramt

Tja, husk at lås døren

Niels tæller stadig

Niels holder en vel fortjent pause

Østerskov 2013, Picture rapport

1 ½ days of hard gaming and different kind of tournament completed. Personally I got trashed along with the Germans on the eastenfront. I only had 1 victory in 5-6 games. The campaign set up did allow for unbalanced games and I had a great time playing. I had come to play and enjoy the concept not win all the time. 

Lesson leared: Next time I will bring AA in my core list (or play allies)
