Hürtgen Forest - Game Video
1:10,000 Scale Wargame - 1991 Desert Storm
The 12-hour game of Tactical Combat Middle East expansion for Panzer Leader (Toshach Miniatures), depicting 1st Marine Division’s vanguard at the Al-Jaber-Burqan Corridor on 25 February 1991, is complete.
This video boils that 12-hour game down to a 30 minute report.
At 1:10,000 (1-inch hex = 250 meters), the game board would be almost six feet across. In all it is 16 kilometers across and 10 kilometers deep.
Upon this arena we deploy the bulk of two reinforced regimental combat teams (Task Force “Ripper” and “Papa Bear,” screened by Task Force “Shepard”), accurate down to the platoon, against the remnants of three Iraqi brigades, two from 5th Mechanized Division and one from 3rd Armored.
In all, we have close to 9,000 men on this table, the leading half of two division sized forces, on a table that actually encompasses the maneuver spaces and engagement ranges that such battles witness.
It’s not all 1500+ meter “tank-and-TOW” matches, though … there are also desperately close street fights where 440 men and 20 tanks would be crammed into one 8-foot 15mm table (yes, those battles do happen in real war, too).
I would never ask my viewers to sit through a 12-hour game or video replay, of course, so I hope everyone enjoys a quick 30-minute summary.
Off work today with some hobby time planned, so this is lined up with a couple of other Sitrep bits to keep me company while I mutilate some bits of plastic.
Thanks, @damon – I think you’ve already seen this vid on YouTube, I just hadn’t posted here on OTT as well.
Best of luck with your mutilated bits of plastic! If they came out anything like those 28mm Churchills you brought to the BA Boot Camp, I hope my plastic comes out half as well mutilated! 😀
Yeah, I realized after I started watching, but I watched it again ‘cos it’s good fun.
Working on some 20mm stuff, a couple of tankbuster aircraft for WW2 Luftwaffe and a Wirbelwind flak tank for the ground pounders.
