The first Late War game.

On Wednesday night, I played Steve with our first attempt at using the new Fortress Europe book.

He was packing Panzer IV’s and some Panthers and I got my British infantry out.

I’ve missed these guys.

We were too excited to really note down what happened but it ended in a draw. I didn’t have anything to really pressure his Panthers from the objectives and he couldn’t shift my infantry on the other side of the table.

However, my thoughts are as follows:

1. It’s great to be back in Late War.
2. It’s odd to start thinking about two formations as standard plus support.
3. Panthers are nasty but still have to be careful.
4. Infantry can be a real pain for tanks.
5. PIAT teams, I love PIAT teams.
