More Airfix Battles

 I played Airfix Battles all day today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Once again I used models from my 15mm Flames of War collection which is a bit limited in regards to matching up with the unit cards in the box. 

 I had to use StuG IIIs instead of Panzer IVs and I am short of halftracks and heavy weapons too. I could of course use the counters in the box but I'm not too keen on the infantry counters. 

Here are some pics from Scenario7 PUSH DOWN THE ROAD TO ST LO! / DEFEND THE ROUTE TO ST LO

I used some Flames of War building templates as they are bigger and have more presence on the board.

A Sherman gets itself in position to cover one of the objectives, it was KO'd in the following turns.

A Tiger tank rolls up the road to engage the Shermans but eventually gets outmanoeuvred and destroyed.

There are two objectives on the road to be captured in this scenario.

Which card to choose?, the game gives you plenty of dilemmas.

I like the Interrupt cards which can spoil a good plan.

The Yanks take one objective.

And the tanks drive the Germans from the other objective on the last turn.

An entertaining game, the Germans were struggling after their panzer commander was killed which reduced their hand of order cards drastically, a lesson learned!.

I could fancy playing this with my 1/72nd toys, I could maybe ditch the grid and measure four inches per square. I think I'll have to give it a go.
