Pz8

Hi all 

I havent posted for a few weeks but Iv been playing games so Pz8 

I first got the rules a few years back and have been playing Balkan wars with them but my friend Pz Takis wanted us to try the WW2 divisional rules again so I put together a small ( 4 Divisions) game 

Its 1944 the Allies are in France and the Germans are trying to stop them from taking a towns.

The Germans have 1 Infantry Division (Poor) mostly eastern ex prisoners (6 Inf battalions and 3 Art battalions) with which they are holding the town and crossroads.

One Armored German Division (2 Pz battalions, 3 Pz Grenadier battalions & 2 Art battalions) will be rolling to see if it enters as to reinforce them. 

The US on the other hand have 2 Armored Divisions (4 Tank battalions, 3 Mech inf battalions & 2 Art battalions each) entering from the other edge of the map 

In the first turns the US move closer to the town and get in positions to attack 

The German Artillery tries to slow the US down but 3 1s are never good 

On turn 4 the US start their assault on the town and battles start all around 

I used small die to keep track of each bases hits 

The US forces using their supirior numbers are having no problem clearing the town and the crossroads 

but then the German reinforcements arrive and attack the US northern forces

The battle in the north is fierce but the German Armor is Elite (+1 to all combat and moral rolls) and it starts to get an advantage just in time as the town is almost out of defenders 

A few turn after that Both commander start pulling their forces back as to regroup and repair 

We both had lots of fun with the game. The US forces had the upper hand until the German armor arrived.

The rules are very nice and produce an realistic outcome.

We will be using them again in the future
