Title: Battle for the Merchyk : 12 August 1943

Okay, not BKC III but BKC II (and also not my own game, but a game played out and published on a non-forum member's blog - though a Battleground Show participation game runner).

Wargames In The Dungeon presents:

Battle for the Merchyk : 12 August 1943

"...So to create an interesting scenario I planned to fight the advance of Totenkopf up to and crossing the River Merchyk. We gave the Germans considerable superiority in points as previous battle have shown it very difficult to stage any kind of attack without this advantage. The Russians have been forced to deploy south of the river but can pull back if they get the chance...Stalin of course wouldn't be happy with this defensive approach. The Germans must attempt to drive to the river and seize the crossing."

Full battle report and lots of photo's over on Matt's blog, here

I did say to Matt, over on the blog's comment section to come over here and post his BKC games, as they're definitely worthy of a read. He just needs to be encouraged to upgrade to BKC III  :D

Great pics of a nicely laid out table along with a good writeup. Enjoyed it.

I liked the use of a B/W picture! An interesting idea that lets you see detail in a different way, not to mention a great 1940's vibe.
