Gold Beach Wargame - Final Video Posted!!
Part III of our Gold Beach Panzer Leader game (myself with the Germans, @brucelea and @damon with the British) has now been posted on the Sitrep YouTube channel. It comes down to the final crunch here, folks, a 9+ hour game to the last turn, and almost the last roll! We have Typhoon fighter bombers, German FlaK, Royal Marine Commandos, Centaur assault tanks, Churchill AVREs, desperate defense and frantic close assaults!
This is one for the record books! With some funny jokes and sound effectsm too! 😀
British units: 1st Hampshire Rifles, 1st Dorsetshire Rifles, 2nd Devonshire Rifles (231st Brigade), “B” Assault Squadron / 6th Royal Engineers, Winchester Dragoons, 47th Royal Marine Commandos, Sherwood Rangers
German units: Infantry Division 352 (Grenadier Rgt 916, III. Battalion) and elements of 441 “East” Battalion, Infantry Rgt 726, 716 Static Infantry Division.
Hex and counter is definitely a good way to spend an evening, tense but fun gaming with some really tactically challenging and thought provoking situations. (And swearing, always swearing…fuxxing dice).
Thanks, @damon . I just really promise to make any LIVE game with REAL opponents much much shorter in the future. I think a big part of the length of our session was down to the fact that we had two players on the British side. This means we basically had three player phases in every turn instead of two. That, plus the “recap” recording segments here and there, all the special rules (and learning them), and the generally complicated nature of amphibious landings, all contributed to the length of the game. I have US Army / Marine forces for… Read more »
I wouldn’t mind, as long as we can split it up over a few weekends Jim!
Brilliant wrap up at the end, made me chuckle. ??
Oh, no sir. @brucelea , I love the enthusiasm, but you HAVEN’T seen this map. It’s gonna take me another week just to finish building the units.
Given how long Gold / Jig took us (one brigade), Omaha was two divisions, each landing two regimental combat teams (same basic idea as British brigades, in US Army). So … four times the size of the Gold game?
36 hours?
Glad you liked the “Kampfgruppe Oriskany” at the end. Whenever I see that scene I think naturally of our hobby.
Loved the videos, excellent stuff. All three of you deserve medals for a nine hour marathon.
Thanks very much @gremlin ! A lot of work, but a lot of great fun, too!
