IABSM (dice activation version) tonight in the Shed O’War with Iain Fuller and Per Broden

Re run of my April 1945 scenario with US forces advancing towards Leipzig and running into more than expected outside the village of Gross Glechin. A Flak position turns its fire onto the Yanks in a desperate attempt to delay the occupation of the city.

The Germans were a mix of veterans and green troops. Supports were weak, and not many of them. The Flak guns only had limited AP ammunition. The US had a full infantry company, tank and reece support, but no artillery and a Regimental commander who wanted to be at the Elbe before “Those damn Commies”. Time was the US players enemy.

Really enjoyed umpiring the guys and good to get a lot of WW2 kit on the table. A US victory but it was not a cake walk and many guys who should of made it home Stateside did not.

The Battle

The game continued with US forces gradually eliminating German defensive points in the village.
