Our first game of IABSM. My German oppponent and I fought for control of a small village.
His first blind managed to zoom up and reveal itself to be his King Tiger, which began systematically destroying everything it came across. Fortunately for me, the King Tiger rarely was activated.
Our infantry platoons fought over the center of the field with his infantry sending off my first platoon only for me to bring up another entire platoon of Soviets, which gave him some authentic German feelings.
Eventually my forces got slowly overwhelmed as my T-34/85s had a hard time dealing with some StuGs and one tank became obsessed with a Panzershreck team (my interpretation of 'must engage in a firefight'). All the while his King Tiger and it's buddies were slowly working their way through my flank, and I'm not sure how I would have dealt with it in the end.
We called it after close to 5 hours. Really the most fun We've had playing anything WWII.
