Lessons learned - 1. Don't bring light vehicles to an infantry urban fight; 2. Don't hesitate in the face of really good troops - if you are going to die, do it with dignity on the attack!; 3. At least try to roll one die that kills something during the evening!; 4. Snipers SUCK!
I didn't take many pics as my troops were not on the board long enough to do anything! Here are the couple I did take. I was too busy getting my butt handed to me!

The MMG was in the bomb crater but they fell victim to a German sniper during the first turn of the game. Upper photo is the command group, bazooka team and infantry squad trying to take a covered route to the factory. It would keep them safe for only a couple of turns. |

Overall it was a fun game. Just wish that I had acquitted myself better as commander. I look forward to getting another chance with them!

Don loves veteran troops. Veteran Germans with two LMGs and assault rifles are pretty over powered.
Yeah, he is a great player and that Army list has super firepower. I really dislike points based gaming, but it is the way that they play games. I prefer our way of doing something that is at least roughly based on historical OB's or historical situations. I also think that the game would be totally different if it were linked to a campaign so players wouldn't be so quick to just through everything in for the last turn. Have to play some more and different scenarios and see if there are different outcomes.
