Another WW2 experiment

Recently I was inspired by https://wargamingwith54mmtoysoldiers.blogspot.com/ to look again at WW2 games. Having considered adapting stuff from Don Featherstone/Lionel Tarr, I remembered some ideas I’d written up and play tested https://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2019/11/even-more-ww2-playtesting.html and revisited them this morning. Having made some changes I roped in Russell (on Zoom) to command the Sovs and roll the dice. In broad terms we had a Soviet rifle battalion attacking a village held by two weak German companies. Above - the Soviet AT rifle platoon reaches the road block. 
 

The field of battle.  And a mug of tea.  

The German forces - they were all hidden at the start. 

The Sovs. Loads of ‘em. 

The Sovs entered with a rifle company on either flank and the HQ, MG and ATR platoons in the centre. 

The one dead German they found -  a victim of astonishingly accurate mortar fire. 

The HQ leading from (near) the front. 

One of the rifle companies was largely mown down by Germans in the church. 

A successful test which took well under two hours including chatting. I think this game has potential - I need to not leave it another three years before the next game….
