Saturday saw the chaps gather to try out the Butovo Scenario (full details for the scenario and TOE can be found here).
Table Set-up. Gray squares are minefields (2 dummies) |
73d Guards Anti Tank Dig in |
Soviet lines are drawn |
Butovo |
General Von Cleweswitz on recon. |
The German deployment plan |
Russian fire plan |
Delays to the German arrival and inability to get off multiple orders works to their advantage as they avoid the Russian HE assets |
T |
2nd turn Russian Assets |
PzIVs unaffected by the Arty. However on the next command test their HQ found their radio had been damaged (blunder led to -1CV).
|
3d turn and the ruthless Russians shell their own positions. Again the tardy Germans fail to oblige |
Germans deploy for assault on hill 233 |
The Russian Maxim gave the German central effort a lot of problems, keeping the PAK 40 suppressed. |
Germans expose the weak left flank of the Russian defenses, but can they carry Butovo? |
Turn 8 and honors even |
The Russians scramble to redeploy their forces to the Eastern outskirts of Butovo. |
Mr 1/36 improves the weather. |
Germans take advantage of their improved CV and assault Butovo in force whilst the Russians who have had good command all game struggle to get orders off and fail to reinforce the Eastern edge. |
Turn 12 end of game situation in Butovo |
Final scores on the board. Germans carry the day with 3 VP (1 objective and inflicted more casualties) to the Russian 2VP |
Scenery looks great. Great work from General Sutov in producing so much terrain for the game.
The scenario seems pretty well balanced. The BKC system is great.
Will be updating the campaign situation and working up the next scenario which will be an attack on the Russian Main Line of Resistance, stay tuned...
Keep em coming. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. We are working on the next scenario now.
