Nik Harwood had just published his solo batrep using this scenario from the CWC rule book.  A bit of banter and an opportunity for a face to face with a gaming buddy brings us here.

For the background we had been running a modern campaign set in 1985 in the Northag region.  Work pressure (driving 3 hours a day into Wales) meant that I could only game every other monday and didn't have the time to keep this up.  With lots of background etc available I set this encounter in the same time frame in the I Ger Corps area pitting elements of 1 Pz Div against elements of 2 GTA in the close terrain North and North East of Celle.

For the table layout we didn't have out as much as for some other games but even this amount viewed from above was sufficient to cause LOS problems for both sides.

The game is scheduled to play on 21 Dec so will update when we get to play this out.  Hope to have the table set up on Sunday evening so MIGHT get some shots done ahead of the figures making a mess of it.

Minor problem with the victory conditions on this scenario using the force lists chosen.  With the 4000pts battlegroup taken for the soviets, the loss of one base of infantry meant that it is impossible to meet the victory conditions as you need 3 infantry per 1000pts to hold the objective (the middle third of the table).

Overall a good game and has been a while since we have had the models out properly (apart from soloing).
