Russ was in the neighborhood and we got a quick game in at Great Escape. We played Free For All and Russ brought Churchills and Shermans against my Panzer IIIs.
 |
| Russ' Churchills and a battery of 25 Pounders hold this side of the board, so I use my Panzer IIs to increase my deployment a bit. |
 |
| My Panzer IV Fs try to hold off the now advancing Churchills. |
 |
| My Schleppers and the 25 Pounders trade shots, Russ losing two while I lost one. |
 |
| I lost one Panzer, which caused them to break and run since they weren't in command. Not really a fan of that new rule. |
 |
| With only Panzer IIs to hold the Objective it was only a matter of time before the Churchills run them over. My Panzer IIIs spent the game dueling some Shermans to no result. |
Well, this game was quick! Once the Panzer IVs ran it was over, but really it never looked good. Un-upgraded Panzer IIIs have no chance vs. these newer tanks, even with some numerical superiority. Panzer IVs are overpriced, but I really don't want to use Marders, either. Not sure if this Panzer list will work after all against these new British heavies, and once the Soviets appear, they're probably toast.
