The scenario involved the Sons of The Desert raiding the compound of the Cunning Artificers to retrieve a precious Gemstone, stolen for its energetic properties?<br />

The scenario pitted a significantly understrength German Infantry Division (Myself and Fran) against a nearly full strength Soviet Tank Corps (Alex, Ian and Jon) in late 1943. Snow was on the ground, the rivers were frozen so that all units could cross anyway barring Heavy Armour (e.g KV-1s). We used the Spearkrieg amalgamation rules (because they work) and the scenario (and bulk of the figures) was provided by Alex (and Pendraken).<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
94th Division was deployed with 2 Regiments up, 1 in reserve. (See Stalingrad TOE). The only hidden deployment was the hidden location of our limited anti-tank guns as well as the garrison strengths of the front line villages. We were promised that a Panzer Division would be sent to assist.</div>

The surprisingly high Soviet Command Values led to rapid advances and early pressure appeared to be applied along the line. But in some ways the lack of Anti-Tank Guns an vehicles meant that actually the Soviets couldn't actually see there opponents whilst the German could call in Artillery, Mortars and Anti Infantry Guns with surprisingly good effects.</div>

Finally the ongoing tank fire was to much for my 1st battalion and they retreated - abandoning their positions and leaving a hole in the lines - it would have been interesting if we'd have had a couple more turns to see if the Soviets could have exploited this. Instead the towns were assaulted again and again, and again and again and eventually despite throwing back multiple assaults, the engineers fell and Jons infantry was able ot seize the village.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

All in all a great game and an interesting scenario, it just goers to show that combined arms works and if you fire enough of it, even tanks are susceptible. Thanks Alex.</div>

Last tuesday, I was introduced to "Muskets and Tomahawks". Now 28mm generally isn't my thing (with rare exception to the Lord of The Rings Skirmish rules or variants) the majority of my models are 6mm or 10mm. 28mm is for skirmishing or RPGs. But . . . I was really pleasantly surprised by these rules.<br />

Each unit has there unique stats (enough variability to maximise flavour whilst simple enough to keep the flow of the game) and the turn is ordered by a number of cards within the deck to randomise the order of movement). </div>

It gives a great overview of what promises to be a huge new game system.Lancaster Wargamershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17060658650965488056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054529772527302897.post-78696521962497055432013-01-21T07:15:00.003-08:002013-01-22T07:23:53.687-08:00Stalingrad South – 15th Sept to 20th Sept 1942 - Spearkrieg Game<h3>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Stalingrad.</b> We’ve all heard about it and maybe seen some films about it of dubious historical value but entertaining nevertheless. So, apart from it being so well know, why refight it? It’s just a slog through an urban Hell, right?<br /><br />Well, in some ways it is but for both sides it is about nursing resources, organising complicated attacks in a difficult environment and more importantly, the Germans CAN win it but it is very tricky. As a wargame player, one of the interested for me is in understand the problems WW2 commanders faced and recreating that on the tabletop. I’ve done this in for Normandy and Kursk and now I wanted to try urban combat.<br /><br />At the club, we use a mix of Spearhead and Blitzkrieg Commander (BKC), a hybrid of my own construction which we call <a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.co.uk/p/spear.html" target=""><b>Spearkrieg</b></a>. Spearhead provides the core but we use command rolls to trigger movement and firing and a different Recon system (see link for more on <a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.co.uk/p/spear.html"><b>Spearkrieg</b></a>). We’ve found that, with a few considered tweaks, we can recreate massive battles/campaigns involving more than half a dozen Divisions that can be played quickly and give historical results.<br /><br />For Stalingrad, we will be fighting three campaigns. The first is in the south of the city, the second in the middle and the final one will be in the north around the main factories and set several weeks after the first two campaigns. The main source for maps, information and the Divisional strengths/TOEs is from the quite frankly superb book, Armageddon in Stalingrad (volume 2) by David M. Glantz and Jonathan M. House. Glantz is a excellent historian and produces academic texts full of all the stats and maps that we wargamers actually need. They are a slog to read because of the detail but they are worth it for that detail, particularly for the Soviet side (e.g. division commander biographies are included and numbers men (by weapons) week by week for the divisions in Stalingrad).<br /><br />This report covers the South battle around the part of the city that contains the much talked about the Grain Elevator. The Germans are attacking with three Divisions: <b><a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.com/2013/01/toe-for-german-24th-panzer-division-at.html" target="_blank">24th Panzer Division</a>, <a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.com/2013/01/toe-for-german-29th-motorised-division.html" target="_blank">29th Motorized Division</a> and the <a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.com/2013/01/toe-for-german-94th-infantry-division.html" target="_blank">94th (Saxon) Infantry Division</a></b>. The Soviets have a mish-mash of units dug in around the city (see <b><a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.com/2013/01/toe-for-10th-rifle-brigade-at-stalingrad.html" target="_blank">10th Rifle Brigade</a>, <a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.com/2013/01/toe-for-35th-guards-rifle-division-at.html" target="_blank">35th Guards Infantry Division</a> and <a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.com/2013/01/toe-for-russian-131st-rifle-division-at.html" target="_blank">131st Infantry Division</a></b>) but the hope of reinforcements <a href="http://lancasterwargamers.blogspot.com/2013/01/toe-for-russian-92nd-naval-rifle.html" target="_blank"><b>92nd Naval Rifle Brigade</b>.</a><br /><br />The map is based on a German military map I found on the web and seemed to match Soviet ones I found that weren’t as detailed. I traced onto the map the Spearhead 3” sector squares, railway lines and deep gullies (see South Map). The Germans had to set-up in the marked areas (or just off table) and the Soviets set-up, dug-in, anywhere 10” or more away from the Germans.<br />I’m not going to give a blow by blow account of the fighting but here are some maps and pictures showing the re-fight.<br /><br /><b>South map</b></span><br />

<br />*Note: Soviet units could not break as per Spearhead rules but a platoon that was “killed” could only roll for recovery (on a 6) at the end of the day it was killed – failure meant it was lost for good. The German units could break and be lost for the battle but their killed platoons could roll for recovery at the end of each day. Resting German battalions for a day or two to recover was the sensible option!</span>Lancaster Wargamershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17060658650965488056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054529772527302897.post-52568991233693009482013-01-21T06:29:00.000-08:002013-01-21T06:29:00.625-08:00TOE for German 94th Infantry Division at Stalingrad<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a TOE fo<span style="font-size: x-small;">r the Sp<span style="font-size: x-small;">ierkrieg Stalingrad campaign</span></span><b> </b></span></span><br />

Plenty of games tonight; 3 games of bloodbowl, a naval dystopian game and an American Civil War.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My game was my first in the season, and only my second with the necromancer team, I somehow managed to take zero photos which is probably for the best as I was playing with skaven standing in for werewolves (well they're furry). A 2-1 loss against an efficient high elf performance by Ian was a fair result.</div>

The big game was a naval Dystopian Wars game set in the Steampunk universe between the British and Russians. One of the reasons I didn't get the Brits for my force is that in my opinion, the aircraft carrier is really not very attractive. But this scratch conversion is fantastic! </div>

So I threw together a quick semi-historical Ardennes game. Turnout wasn't massive so it was just myself and Fran for this one.<br />
<br />
SOMEWHERE IN THE ARDENNES - DECEMBER 1944<br />

OBJECTIVES<br />
<br />
Germans get a point for every fuel dump they capture intact, 0 points if dump is destroyed, Americans 1 point if evacuated or held. A point for each bridge held and a point for each enemy battalion broken.<br />
<br />
The americans have three stands of engineers to destroy or evac the fuel. It takes 2 turns to prep for demolition and 5 to evac.<br />
<br />
Past the last road before the river, the snow is thicker and movement off road is reduced by a third. <br />

Didn't get full notes . . . woops . . . but will give it a go with what I got/remembered/make up. I could only deploy one infantry battalion on table at the start and had access to one Priest battalion at until Fran got past the first fuel dump.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Panzers advanced steadily and drove straight around the first village avoiding my ATG which would have got a shot in the rear. A self propelled mortar was less lucky. With a combined assault with the Paras - whose battalion commanders were leaving the job up to the Regimental HQ - the first dump was taken moments before I destroyed it. <br />
<br />
I could have accepted this if my artillery came in at all. One of the few times it did come in it landed on my own positions :(<br />

<br />
As both flanks advanced I unleashed a few ambushes but awful rolling led to me only destroying one Panther (a second was destroyed when it blundered into a minefield.<br />

Eventually my tank battalion deployed and the 1st company blew away a company of Fallschirmjager. Unfortunately poor fire then failed to take out the supporting StuG IIIs who proceeded to destroy them in return.<br />
<br />
Up until the last turn it genuinely looked in the balance, the attrition had led to one of the jager battalions to break compensating for my 1st battalion and I successfully evacuated the second fuel depot on the Panzer flank. But some successful assaults and my artillery continuing to fail to come in led to 2 more depots falling as well as both bridges.<br />

All in all the game worked well, Fran played the game to the scenario and really did his best to drive his forces on. Both sides had appalling dice and both German Regimental COs were very busy (not helped by the Panzers Recce driving into a minefield).<br />
