There were only 6 attendees this month, 5 players and the GM.
They were divided into two German and three U.S. players. The rules were Kampfgruppe Normandy from Warhammer Historical. The scenario "Hold the Line" had the U.S. attacking, each side had 350 points worth of troops.
It will probably be the last play of these rules, as no one liked them, aside from the GM.

Looks an interesting game - fairly similar to one I've recently played myself. Interested to see your comments on the Kampfgruppe Normandy ruleset - I've read a few reviews in the wargames press but not played these before myself. Why not try Force on Force WW2?
ReplyDeleteI have played a few WW2 games of Force on Force, but they didn't "feel" like WW2.
DeleteI was going to link to some of the WW2 games I did using Force on Force, but Fortunecity, the web daomain that hosted the Club website is now Dotster and as of April 30th won't allow access to the site any more, some warning may have been nice :(
