Some questions:
ReplyDeleteHow many points and how long did the game take?
How did you play BUAs? Looks like you used buildings and floors as opposed to general BUA areas? I hope that question makes sense.
Seems the Russians would've dominated had their armor come on faster.
Thanks for the report.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was Dave's opponent here, the Russians had around 5000 points with the German force being 3300. All in it took about 3.5 hours to play including set up and packing up. We used the BUA rules from the rulebook, the whole tile counts as a BUA. However we only give the building bonus (Save of 6) for infantry inside an actual building model.
It was a pretty close game had Dave not decimated my rear with his flanking force it would have been a different story. That said his armour taking 5 turns to only get a third way across the board certainly helped. :)
All in a very fun game.
