Well I am not sure if Stalin will have me shot or not. Game one, faced german panzer grenadiers in a meeting engagement. Did well and russian light tanks wiped out hie 251s. next was a US Mech force in Free for all- He left a flank open and my light tanks penetrated all the way to the edge of his board, they were screened by trees. My T34s died in front of his Shermans and M-10s but the lights fell on his flank and took and held the objective. Then a german panzer company and I hit head on. In a 3 turn blood bath the germans broke. Last I faced a British armored Company. Very open terrain and hens and chicks rule really killed me. I was probably to aggressive closing with the British and his crusaders wiped out my lights and I walked into a concealed battery of 17 pounders, which wiped out my SUs. I broke and ran and will be sent to a gulag in Siberia. so finished 3rd, but was very happy with the results and the vancouver guys were very nice to game with. The judge was very helpful and they do have some house rules that are different. Always good to see how other people play the rules. Good gaming Terry

That is good. did you just have tanks or did you have infantry to.

Just tanks. I ran a russian tank battalion of a company of medium tanks, 2 companies of light tanks, support company of SU122s, support company of SU 85s. Had mobility, punch and numbers. But they are only conscript and no kommisar, so you don't get to try the kommisar reroll. There are draw backs to the russians, hen and chicks and everything hits you. It is also an expensive army, it takes alot of figures and tanks. Alot of painting.
