After two turns of frustration and having many of their commissars executed for failing to rally their armies against the seemingly impenetrable defense, the Soviets have finally breached the German defense. Their perseverance in assault on all fronts has finally paid off as the Soviet cavalry has conquered Obal and exploited deeper into enemy territories. From the look of things, they're galloping straight to Minsk.
The similar can't be said for the southern part though. Despite the complete annihilation of a Panzerspahkompanie and the Tigerkompanie's incapability of stopping the advancement of a new Soviet reinforcement in the form of an IS-2 battalion, progress has not been good. The Germans' defense has been spread thin, but the Soviets were unable to capitalize on that advantage as a bold move by a single daring Panzergrenadier division has kept the Soviets at bay. Despite being out of supply, two of the southern Soviet cities were now exposed to German assault by that lone Panzergrenadier division. Turn 4 is definitely going to be interesting, stay tune for more.
All in all, it was a fantastic Legio Hobby Night. 23 wargamers, in which 11 are WM/H players, attended the session. As a reminder, Kindred III and Golden Kris 2012 will be organized during Legio Malaysia's 4th Birthday Bash on the 30th of June. That's only four weeks away...are you ready?
Till next week, Ave Legio!
It was a truly epic night of FoW wargaming. Next week will be the most vital period of the campaign. Calling all Soviet Colonels!!! Comrade Stalin calls you!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Turn 4 will be the key to the whole campaign. It'll be make or break for both sides.
ReplyDeleteIt was an awesome game against tan.. superb teacher for one. Learn alot..can wait for turn 4.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly heating up. Soviet breakout in the north could spell disaster for the Wehrmacht though our small counter-attack in the south could also very well force the commies to turn around to deal with the threat to their own supply lines. Looking forward to this Friday's panzer clash Khairul. Long live the glorious reich!
ReplyDeleteHow many points we doing Nahri?
ReplyDeleteTurn 4 match-ups so far..
ReplyDeleteKhairul vs Nahri
Pura vs Iqbal
Thou art mistaken.
ReplyDeleteKomrade Jeff will take on the first week's Iron Cross recipient Herr Hauptmann Iqbal.
Khairul vs Nahri game is on.
Typical Soviets, backing off from their own challenge ;p
ReplyDeleteif Pura's not available, Jeff it is then :)
I can pump it up to 2000 points. Tigers are ready and eager to roll-out.(Though that probably means you get to bring another 10 tanks onto the table.. yoy..)
ReplyDeleteNahri, i only have 1500 points. I can try to go up to 1750 but 2K is definitely out of the question.
ReplyDeleteSure I'm fine with either. 1750 if you can, 1500 otherwise. Hopefully you won't make too short work of my panzers, but if you do I get to try and fit in a second game anyway :P
