The other evening I was able to get an Early War battle in with Steve. I was running German Infantry vs. Steve's dreaded Panhards and French. As usual I am not good at remembering blow by blow since its been some days since the battle took place. I was able to get some awesome pictures and use the new Version 3 rules, hope you enjoy them !
Look to WWPD for additional photos and comments regarding the battle.

The game would finalize at 5-2, I would go to lose 3 moral test on three platoons and leave the field to the french. Awesome game with some crazy events. Much respect to French capabilities ... especially those swarming Panhards !
Keep the Paint flowing and the Dice rolling !

Great pictures and BatRep. Looks like a good time was had by all. I'm still reading through the 3rd edition rules but I'm impressed with how easy they are to assimilate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Big Lee ... The rule changes are so good you won't notice a lag in gameplay. Thumbs up to Battlefront on the great work!
