flames of war 17th waffen ss engagement record

flames of war 17th waffen ss engagement record

with my army finally reaching completement i thought i would start a running score on how my army had done in game

game 1. opponent british infantry company 

this was my first game of flames  of war and my opponent knew this so we played for fun and to educate me on the rules rab from stirling wargames club was an outstanding opponent helping me fuddle my way through the game though i lacked anti tank capability he engaged and gave a great game still had me buzzing about it 2 weeks after the game 

result german victory (by a slim margin)

game 2 opponent british airborne company

this was truly a baptism of fire game my opponent dug in entrenching veterans and maneuvering almost through my centre wiping out a platoon and a battery holding the area, crucial mistakes were made by me, mainly me forgetting that in flames of war you can move your mg42 teams and reduce their rate of fire from 6 to 2 but forgetting what game i was playing i forgot i could move and shoot so sat in a smoke screen for 3 turns truly an epic fail

result british victory

game 3 opponent british armoured company

oh my god the horror as i see my opponent unpack tank after tank now for those who have read my growing army list you will already know the one thing i lack is anti tank firepower i had to rely on infantry with panzerfausts and panzerschrecks so my infantry dug into the buildings dominating the centre of the table and waited to let him get close victory was achieved by deploying the wife card 1 turn from seizing the final objective 

result german victory (by slim margin and deploying the wife card)
