Shirker berserkers versus 6th Airbourne/ XXX corps in an armoured engagement

Severe weather and low light levels hampered the allied shooting but mandatory carrot based rations worked in the German’s favour. Conditions inside their tanks were reported as being “unpleasant.”

kampfgruppen smiledge versus Blue Spaders in an armoured engagement

Full disclosure, my opponent doesn’t have a profile for D Day. As a Russian player she doesn’t think its right to play Russians. So she is using my Allied profile and a lot of my American models for the D Day games she plays here at Ricks cards. Tried out the training wheels scenario. We had to proxy a few panzer III, and IVs for the 35s and let my opponent borrow a Sherman or two since her Russian army only had 1. I almost have her convinced to start an American army and give her Russians a break.
This was a fun scenario and we are talking of adapting it to an Eastern front theme along with a few other players.
Anyway I barely scraped out a win in the last turn with a lucky shot to side armor with a 6 to hit and on the damage chart. The dice gods shined brightly on my for that brief moment.
Sorry, no pictures since there were so many proxies.

Nick Notorious Nightfighters versus Herman's Germans in an armoured engagement

A Canadian sherman platoon supported by a firefly and a staghound armoured car came up against Herr Jonnies panzer 4s and supporting Stug in the Normandy countryside..

Despite early success (the Canadians bagged a Panzer turn one!) The German accuracy started to take its toll in the following turns. By the end of the game only one very pinned sherman survived.

It was operation goodwood all over again!

1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler versus Company B in an armoured engagement

A detached element of the 101st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion from the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler consisting of three Tiger I tanks ambush an relief American armoured column of four Sherman’s. Initially the Tigers raced up the cityscape, attempting to flank and separate the Sherman’s. The right flank Tiger immediately destroyed a lone Sherman. In response, multiple Sherman’s opened fire on the command Tiger tank racing up the center of the city and handily destroyed it. The left flank Tiger attempted to push, but fell back after multiple hits unnerved the crew. Then the right flank Tiger crept up on the Sherman’s, attempting to flank them. But a courageous Sherman crew met them head on, with zero success. In return, the Tiger was battered but not destroyed. Meanwhile on the left flank, the Tiger rallied the crew and sent a shell down range at an oversized Sherman. The massive shell penetrated the tank and blew it to smithereens! To avoid further losses, the remaining two Sherman’s retreated out of the city.
