Grenadierkompanie vs. Tankovy
I just got Grey Wolf in the mail the other day and went straight to forming a Grenadierkompanie. My friends and I are all playing 1265 list as we are getting ready for Adepticon this spring. Here's what I game up with.
HQ
CiC, 2iC 45
Panzerknacker 5
2 Grenader platoons 210
panzerfaust 20
4 Brummbars 280
4 StuG G's 380
2 PaK40's 110
Transports 5
Hs 129b
Sporatic Air 115
Total: 1265 on the dot.
Now to the board. With Pete's flee market buys we made do.
We got a wheat field in the upper middle of the board. Surrounded by woods and a few hills (Hull down capable). A somewhat basic town in the lower left with hedges for their yards. We played them as just concealing terrain. Then there was the crop rows in the lower right hand side.
Pete starts moving into position in a move for both objectives.
After killing 3 grenadier teams, he moves in for an assult. I'm able to smoke one as he came in with the defensive fire from my panzerfaust.
After killing another infantry team, my grens high tailed it towards the StuG's. They then failed their platoon morale and just kept on running right off the board. But wait, my PaK40's come out of reserves!!
Pete consolidates he's force on the objective.
The PaKs, StuGs, and Brummbars surround the 2 detached platoons. Trying to force a morale check. They only kill one more.
A PaK40 is lost in Petes returning fire. But now it was my turn again. With all guns firing at full ROF, they unleashed!!!
Destorying the detached platoon in the woods and forcing morale checks. Both failing and running off. I stormtrooper all my troops to help out the battered Brumms.
StuGs move into position and start cleaning up. Forcing another morale, Pete roles a 1. Then a three with his Battalion. The game was won!!!
We packed up and headed home. Some have a little less to pack then others.

Pete
Anyways, it was a good game. With such a small, cramped table, both our planes barely saw action. I really liked Pete's "at the double move", it put us right in the battle right off the bat. I must say though, my reserves seemed to come on just when they needed to. And then some really, cause my 2nd infantry platoon came on in my winning turn. I only mention this cause it never seems to work out so well for me in any other game (Jason!!!). Well I hope you enjoyed my very first battle report. My first blog post as well.
