Not sure I'd ever thought of it like that. <br /><br />I'm playing an IABSM scenario using BKCII rules and I'm using my 8 tanks to do just that: blasting the crap out of dug in SS in trenches and in buildings.Itineranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344688763064409885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-70337244211129809592013-12-03T18:04:48.199+01:002013-12-03T18:04:48.199+01:00Working backwards through the AARs so late to the ...Working backwards through the AARs so late to the game. For the record in one of my first games, I charged an MG34 with the hope of getting into hand to hand with the beast. The results were not pretty.<br /><br />That said, I have to agree with Anonymous, tanks were invented to beat up dug in MGs. Exploitation came later. Too easily we gamers get caught up in tank duels and forget they carried HE for a reason. ;)<br /><br />Great reportPatGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379668269395518541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-84992845780622637552013-11-25T16:12:09.289+01:002013-11-25T16:12:09.289+01:00That's what I was afraid of Anibal.

And, above all, that looks to have been a good, learning game for all sides. <br /><br />The more we've been playing Chain of Command, the more the players have been noticing that the German platoon LMGs are indeed deadly weapons in the right situation. They certainly excel in defence and can be very difficult to break down - something which is very much the situation in Late War games. Playing the game is very much a learning curve - just as the historical participants did, we found ourselves discovering (and re-discovering) the same tactics which worked on the battlefield to counter the German formations. But it's still a very tough fight!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-6749696378771153072013-11-12T08:47:17.079+01:002013-11-12T08:47:17.079+01:00No, only the map which I took from John's blog...No, only the map which I took from John's blog as mentioned at the begining of the postAnibal Invictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574972963418062956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-35025753985956889362013-11-11T22:37:16.393+01:002013-11-11T22:37:16.393+01:00Great looking game.

Most attack/defense games i've played with other rules give the attacker a 2:1 or even 3:1 superiority in numbers for them to have an even chance of success. T34/85's leading the attack with infantry following would have helped greatly. Infantry alone attacking undamaged, dug in defenders was suicide....Just my opinion.

The attacker will have to move, so he will want more power as he is going to take casualties crossing ground. As it stands the scenario feels more balanced for a meeting engagement.
