Wittmann with his 101st supported by the Gepanzer Kompanie face off against the Guards Armoured Divison and FSSF Special Forces.

As the Germans Advance from Dorset into Devon they hit a hastly prepared line and attempt to storm it. Do go easy on use, it is our first time doing this as well as my first post and after action report.

The Irish Guard company

The Gerpanzer Panzergrenider Kompanie

Wittmann and his Tigers
The Scenario was Hasty Attack. The Germans held some Stugs, one tiger platoon, the Armoured AA and a pair of Panzergreniders in reserve while the allies held a Irish recce and Guards infantry with a Sherman platoon, Scott platoon and the Second platoon of the SSF. the Achilles were held in Immediate Ambush.

SSF dig in with the Panzergeniders in front of them. the Achilles had been placed in front of them taking out one half track, but then were able to avoid fire from the paks and run to safety,

in the center, Wittmann advanced and was able to destroy the 90mm AT gun dug in on the hill on turn two, after the Cromwell and Challenger had bogged down trying to get a enfilade shot at them.

 then the Tigers turned there guns on the Cromwell not bogged and fired.

On Turn three the Challenger and Cromwell un bogged and gained a side shot. while the Achilles move to site guns on the tiger platoon.

The Challenger claimed one while the Achilles claimed the other.
Meanwhile the SSF had entered the town on the Left and the AOP had spotted for the Sextons destroying an infantry and bailing a half track.

The SSF were able to bail a Skf 251/9 and destroy another half track.

On the Third German turn the Tiger platoon in reserve as well as a Stug platoon arrived and the tigers go rear shots on the Challenger and Cromwell, as well as frontal on the CO and 2IC bailing all of them and destroying the one in the trees, leaving the Challenger the only tank in the platoon. Wittman fired on the Achilles and Bailed them.

The Stugs got a Sexton.
In the town fire was exchanged resulting in the loss of a Engineer HMG inside a building.
The allies responded in Sending the Challenger Forward and Destroying Wittmann while a jeep .50 cal and a m10 took out both paks. the Achilles stayed Bailed and would remain that way the entire game.

However the Challenger was destroyed on Turn 4 by the other Tiger Platoon while the Sextons lost another to the Stugs.

On turn 4 the SSF took out two panzergreniders and one half track as well as two Armored AA guns.

meanwhile the CO and 2IC made a dash to the right city to capture the Objective there.

They tried to hit the Stugs but the Front armor of 7 saved them from any damage. Curse the weak 75mm gun!
The Germans moved the Tiger Platoon to directly behind the CO and 2IC but failed to score a single hit, but the Stugs were much more lucky killing the CO.

The Engineers Jeep fell to the last AA gun while the other HMG fell to the powerful funs of the Skf 251/9s

On turn 6 the 2IC moved into the town and secured the Objective while the Americans killed another Half track. 

The Germans moved the stugs into the town and destroyed the British 2IC and the tigers moved into the woods and destroyed one of the Bailed Achilles.

On the Allies turn the Cromwell Recce Platoon arived and pushed forward to destroy a Stug, but unable to shift them from the town.

On turn 7 the Axis Panzergeniders assulted a M10 and lost one infantry and failed to destroy it as it fell back. the other M10 was bailed as the Tigers shot at it but failed firepower. The Stugs scored a hit on the Cromwells and took one out.

SSF infantry fired at the Panzergeniders killing two more as a Sherman platoon arrived to assist.

On Turn 8 the axis were able to destroy the last of the Achilles and the Quad destroyed a motor jeep of the new arrived Greyhound platoon.

the Tigers along with some surviving half tracks were able to almost annihilate the new Gaurds Infantry. they failed their moral and fled.

With the Gaurds infantry gone the British were thrown into disarray and the battle collapsed. the Gaurds fled while the SSF yelled at them to come back to the fray. Thus the Germans Broke Through.


This was our first game and my first battle report. i played the British, and just made several mistakes but we had fun in this campaign to Save Britain, and while we lost, Britons shall never, never, never be enslaved!
