I wonder what would have happened if the Welligtons had defended the village rather than charging up the hill

Thanks for an interesting campaign Jack

Thanks, Lemmey!

My pleasure, Paul!  Hmmm...  My opinion is that if they'd simply have stood fast and defended the village the Germans would have by-passed them to take out the heavy weapons, then pounded them with impunity from afar.  Me, I wonder what would have happened if that assault on the hill had worked! 

V/R,

Good point

Nice one, Jack !

Couldn't find any mention of the sniper.....I must have missed that bit. 

Cheers - Phil.

Paul - I get one every now and again!

Phil - I'm sure he was in there somewhere, keep looking!

V/R,
Jack

Thanks for sharing your campaign Jack, very entertaining as always 

look forward to seeing what happens in Russia.....

Thanks, Pierre, I greatly appreciate the support! 

I'm painting and basing as fast as I can; every day we grow closer to Barbarossa!

Hope your Russian force has a couple of KV-2's in it, they would make life challenging for Col Klink and friends early in the 1941 campaign.

I haven't forgotten those 1/600th planes I got off you by the way Jack.....slowly working on a campaign that they will appear in

LOL More of a challenge for the Russians if your rules model them properly. Slow, cumbersome, top heavy and prone to breakdown. The later SU-152 is a whole other matter.

I'd expect Colonel Klink to have a little more trouble than he did in Greece, but not much .... initially.

But .... Russia is vast, General Winter is cruel, the Rasputitsa sucks the life out of any offensive and eventually the Soviets will be able to mass the "Gods of War" at a rate of 200-250 tubes per kilometre of the front.

Vpered! Na Zapad!

Perhaps Klink will be lucky and get sent to North Africa or Normandy.

Remember 1 KV-2 STOPPED 7th Panzer for 2 days

Which does at times show that the Germans forgot what they should have been doing with Blitzkrieg, and rather got stuck into a frontal attack.

In 1941 a KV-2 is a monster the Germans have very few solutions too.

Far more KV-2s just stopped (due to breakdown or lack of fuel) than stopped any Germans

There's a reason they built over 5,000 KV-1's but only around 300 KV-2's

Thanks guys, and yes, getting closer to being ready for the Eastern Front.  I suspect things will get more difficult for KG Klink, though I do not have any KV-2s, just a couple KV-1s and a company of T-34s, a company of T-26s, and a platoon each of BT-5s, T-60s, and Ba-10 armored cars.  It will have to do

And I'm looking forward to your campaign with the aircraft, Pierre, hurry up!

V/R,
Jack
