AAR: Eastern Front Action with Rate of Fire
Mark and I got together on Saturday afternoon to let the 1/72 toys out for a spin. I set up a very simple "capture the crossroads" scenario and put together two force lists from my Soviet and German collections using the excellent Rate of Fire rules from Crusader Publishing . The Soviets started a bit closer to the crossroad so they felt a bit more like defenders, fitting given the 1942 date I assumed when I put it all together. Pregame... the junction sort of in the center is what we're both attempting to control at the end of 10 turns. The blown out building near the crossroad became a target for me. It was bloody tough to shift those reds once they'd taken up a position in there! Oh God... the KV moves to threaten my Panzer II! I had my little tank pull back, but both the KV and BT-7 could both still see it! The BT's shot missed but the big 76mm shell from the KV got the tank's attention! The shot went wide and the German crew all thanked their lucky star...
