Inspired by Pier's earlier post here are some pics of the Rapid Fire game I played with Jon in the week. Similiar to Pier's our game was based on a scenario from the 3rd RF supplement, Narwa 1944. In fact it is Pier's reports that has got me fired up for WWII games again.
Jons tank battalion cross the rail track
Little Kate gets ready to give support
The Soviet tanks spread out and advance on the German positions
The Germans in the ruined farm await the onslaught
The German Tigers claim their first kill
The Soviets knock out the German Stug III
Fighting rages around the ruined farm
The Soviet objective was to get a tank and a company of eight infantry to block the road by turn ten. By turn nine it was obvious that this could not be achieved giving a German win, nothing amiss with Jon's tactical plan he just did not get the rub of the dice for the majority of the game, but as you can see it was a hard fought battle.
