Terry, is it possible to squeeze a player or two extra in to the fight. Even if they only command a small detachment for either side? Perhaps a recon element for the German spearhead or a relief column for the Soviets? We may get an extra player or two this coming Sunday. Hate to leave anyone out, but I understand if its not possible. Chris

Maybe you and I could designate "learning platoons" to some of the other players....I may have an observer show up.....

What time do you think we'll get started?

Well, looking at the size and scale of the battle, we will probally start at 10:45 or later. Unless of course everyone has their army lists all ready completed and forces organized.

Everyone should be there at around 10. But sometimes john opens up a little earlier for us, and we can start gaming sooner.

Snake, You can have who ever, help you or any one else can bring somebody. This is not a little click of players. More the marrier.
Sean, We have been real good about being ready to start early. John has been real good to let me in early so I can set up. The other 2 scenarios have started by 10:20 or so. Every one has come with lists ready and deployment starts. This will be a quick starter.

Terry,

Just sent you two possible lists. May adjust a few hundred points to designate a small recon company for a new player. A BMW scout platoon, with three armored car patrols and some pz 38's as back up. This can lead the way for my Panzer force.



Chris

Chris, Sounds good

Terry,

read the last list I sent you. The blocking force list is legal and lethal. Can't wait to see it in action.

Taber, I have everything you need to run early armor. I now have:

6 pz 38's
2 pz 35's
2 pz 1's
3 pz 2's
6 pz 3's 3x3.7cm 3x5cm
3 pz 4's
2 stug's
2 sdkfz8 armored HT's with 88's
2 proxied Bison 150mm inf gun carriers
6 HT AA platforms
20 BMW/sidecars for MG infantry teams or scouts

and other stuff as well.

Terry / Chris,
I am planning to be there as an observer. If you guys need a player, I would be more than happy to fill in, but watching and observing might be what I need after the "Tabacco Factory" and the "Bridges of Doom."

Bill

Bill,

You need to play, not watch. If we have an even number, hopefully we will squeeze you in.

Chris

Bill, Come play. We will find something for you to push. Terry

Terry,

I wrote up the list for a small recon company (aufklarungs). So Bill can use that if that is ok. Perhaps Sean Curl or Evan can write up a small force of about 700-1000 points for a third Soviet player to use.

We have the figures so it shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps a Soviet Heavy Tank Company? or even a T34 company? nahhh, to tough, more infantry, Soviets need lots and lots of infantry.

Chris

I already have a small force about 1000pts written up. I just don't know If I, or even you can support the amount of models needed for my army and another small army. As it is now, my force consists of 230+ stands.

Yes,

between Terry, Evan, You and I, we should have enough Soviet Models.

I have ready to play:


Strelk HQ full
3 strelk companies full
2 HMG companies
Mortar Company
Hvy Mortar Company
AT rifle Company
Flamethrower Sections
45mm AT guns
76 AT guns or Arty x 4 missing 4, can't find them
57mm AT guns can be used as something else
122mm Howitzers x 6
Cossack company with two Tachanka's
6 BA-6/10 armored cars
lots of T70's 11
lots of T34's 14
7 KV's either 1 or 2
37 mm AA guns and Dshk AA trucks.

So a quick Strelk force of around 1000 points would look like this:

HQ- 25
full strelk company 32 teams with Kommie 270
Full strelk company 32 teams with Kommie 270
HMG company full with Kommie 200
Full Mortar Company with full lt. mortars 255
45mm AT gun Company 225 with Kommie for 6 guns
Flamethrower Platoon 9@465 6@310 3@155
DSHK Trucks 3@75 with Kommie
AT rifle Company full with Kommie at 130
Sapper Company with Kommi for 345 with 23 pioneer teams

So fielding a 1000 point force is easy. You can also add a tank company, Artillery, AA, Heavy Mortar, Katyusha's, Armored Cars or Cossacks to this.

4x37aa @120, 3@110, 2@75 +5 for Kommie
4x76 arty @230 with observer and kommie can have 2 of these
4x122 @ 185 with ovserver and Kommie
2XKaty @ 150 add DShk truck for +15 and Kommie +5 fires as 4 guns

There you go. I have enough stuff to probably field three full battalions or close to it.

Remember 5 T34/40's are 595, 10 T60(we can use T70) are 240, 5 KV tanks are 760 and 7@980 add+40 to upgrade to KV2 per tank. BT Tanks are dirt cheap with 10 BT5's @ 355, 10 BT7's @ 405.

So fielding a 1000 extra points between us is easy.

chris

Ok, thanks for the list of your models Chris.

Terry, could you please list your models and how many of each do you have? That way I can make a accurate force that I can make.
