Partisan Action near Lvov, Summer 1944

[V]

300 point Defence Line game using the special lists included in Battlegroup Bagration with Partisans attacking Police Regiment positions near Lvov.

Turned into quite a bloodbath for the partisans with less than a third of them surviving and huge numbers of Germans arriving as reinforcements.

But thanks to alot of pins being removed and one heroic man with a Molotov, somehow the Partisans managed to secure victory by the skin of their teeth… the 5 non-numbered chits also helping! Fun game, very quick turns, but went on for quite a while as it started very cautious. By the end, the few surviving partisans were hiding in bushes.

I do however wish all my radios worked as well as the partisan radios in calling mortar fire support… only once did they fail to get through! Now accuracy was an issue but the radios worked…

That’s a great looking game, nice work! Interesting to see one focused on partisans, too - more often WW2 games seem to revolve around regular forces that include heavy equipment.

A great setup and collection

 Very nice. What kind of German tanks are those?

Well done, lad!  All the way around.  Interesting how the partisans snatched victory from the jaws of defeat...
