The Whole Army
I kind of love how the whole thing came together in the end. Oh, and in a most surprising and ridiculous turn of events, the package of foliage arrived on the THURSDAY night before Panzerschreck. Seriously. I was SO pleased. So the OP and the quads that will remain in the 653 formation got foliaged as well. It was still drying when we put the box in the back to go north!
Panzerschreck?
This photo basically sums up the weekend:
People getting their much faster medium armour on the flanks of our Elefants and mostly, amazingly, whiffing. We lost two Elefants destroyed, two fled and the rest survived the weekend. MVP of the weekend was the Elefant CO who took 7 IS-2s solo to hold a flank to save the one game we won.
All in all 1 - 1 - 3 for the weekend but the highlight perhaps was we lost game 3. The last six stands of an American ARP ran through a minefield and then all the American armour opened up on the 2 StuGs and 2 Elefants on the objective. We lost both StuGs and one Elefant (shot in the side by failed-blitz, stabilised Sherman 75s on 6s, I might add) and then the two stands that surivived the minefield charged out. The Elefant shot the Bazooka and the one remaining rifle stand shoved the Elefant off the objective. It was a great game to play and a great way to lose that game.
Thoughts?
The list was sub-par. Okay on paper but also coloured by previous Panzerschreck experiences and not in a good way. If we had our time again, the list would be:
653 Schwere Panzerjager
Hetzer Company
