Battlegroup Battle Report 400pts Fall of the Reich / "The Gamble" 

We always forgot about those Timed Barrage rules. It's not as big of a deal when Vin's scatter on top of his own units though :)

The Acceptable Casualties played Piers Road to Starpel scenario yesterday and guess what I forgot😂

Thanks, TG. Hopefully we'll stay out of retirement this time around :)

@@TheAcceptableCasualties, that would be cool, missed them and started my own project meanwhile.

Thanks for watching! Hopefully we can get the next one out pretty quick.

Trust me when I say we missed playing BG and doing the batreps :)

We're discussing that now. I want to build up an Italian force but I still need to talk Vin into covering his half of the bargain. He seems to be pushing for Early War French or Winter War Fins. I might need to pull my "Big Brother" card on this one :)

The Acceptable Casualties The Winter War is just Finns versus Russians. Whilst the Desert War has more scope.

Awesome. What armies do you guys play now? We'll be jumping around between all eras of the war on the Eastern front.

@@TheAcceptableCasualties I have got US ( building an armoured plat almost complete) and Panzergrenadier (2 full inf platoons and Stugs for days) , my friend he has a bunch of Brits and SS so we can cover basically every theatre and we can interchange. We just need the Russians now! Glad you will be covering Eastern Front

Thanks, will do!

I totally forgot about that. Thats what I get for being so rusty :)

Still a good battle.

I probably won't dip into cold war / moderns anytime soon. How are you liking Northag compared to Team Yankee?

@@TheAcceptableCasualties No comparison. I bought into Team Yankee because I really liked the models. Team Yankee seems to some how be a complicated beer and pretzels game. Northag manages to take BG and bring it to a larger scale without losing the game play, and adding some really interesting elements. The staggered arrival of your units really makes you think about your list, more than BG I think. And the accelerated chit pull really brings the tension on fast.

I think they use the term "Pinned" for consistencies sake when it comes to the rules writing. My guess is that it could be just another way to say the tank crew has been shell shocked by an incoming shell or a grenade going off in/near the turret.

Ive been doing more rules writing than actual gaming. Im trying to flip that script :)

Ive only played CoC twice and I had a good time playing it but I prefer the BG mechanics. I wasn't a big fan of the assault phase or armored combat for CoC but I loved how they handled deployment before the game starts. I wouldn't feel right comparing the two due to my limited experience with CoC.

They appear to be primarily 4Ground

Thanks

Those are 15mm 4ground buildings and the farmhouse is from Kreative Scenery.

The Acceptable Casualties thanks I wish to build up my collection

Ive tried multiple combinations of that road set and there is no getting away from it if I use that "end" piece :)

Visually I prefer playing with individual stands, I think it looks a lot better on the table. From an actual quality of life perspective I think the individual basing works well for small platoon sized games in 15mm but once it gets to company sized and bigger it can get a bit annoying moving 100 soviets across the table for an URA! charge :)
