Great game. I thought as the sun came up so soon, that was the end of the line for the Germans. Tight, very tight. I hope relief is very close. Thanks for the show.
You and me both! I had to come up with a game plan very quickly as I thought I would at least get across the river! Very close indeed. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! We are going into Stalingrad next so are planning that… and the route back to Berlin… however we have been thinking about invasion of france and possibly Dunkirk / Op Sealion at some point 👍🏻
Awesome battle report in this fantastic campaign you guys are entertaining us with. Once the sun came up, it was always going to be difficult for the Germans. On to Stalingrad it is!👍
Thank you as always 👍🏻 Yes definitely a difficult game… but it went right to the last roll of the dice. Stalingrad next, with a variety of different games to be played from the outskirts, tractor factory, Pavlovs house and much, much more… then heading back west to Seelow heights and Berlin and finally the Reichstag!
Thank you for confirming how to pronounce my first name. To think I may have been saying it wrong for the last 60 some odd years. Great game, thank you.
Despite a good showing by Comrade Mike's gallant soviet troops, the Krauts claw their way to a Pyrrhic victory capturing a vital bridge over the Don. Will this be a foreshadowing of Stalingrad, we shall see next time. Well played lads.
Loving your summaries! Very entertaining, and makes me smile, thank you. We head into stalingrad next so will see what that brings, thanks for the comment 👍🏻
@@tabletopminiatures7139 I learned the hard way to focus on the mission objectives. Your army could be almost completely destroyed, but if you accomplish the mission, you win.
How balanced is this with the Germans having their book released and the soviets still running off the rule book? I’m curious as I play British and my friend plays Germans. We’ve only just started playing BA to boot. I’m still gonna play regardless, but I’d be curious to know if it’s an uphill battle for the rule book armies.
It is still fairly balanced… if anything the new Armies of Germany book has removed some of the boosters for Germany… but I just play with the army I like and try not to worry too much about the rest (just focus on the objective and how you can achieve it, then I think about what the enemy have that I need to destroy) Thanks 👍🏻
I only saw one of the cover saves for the sniper, which was a one, so I am unsure if this would have made a difference but: snipers are infiltrators. Their cover save would have been increased to a 4+.

Another Good game guys ... please more narrative games or themed ... well done
Will do, we try to balance narrative with a few cheesy games so we get the best of both worlds.
Thanks for the comment much appreciated 👍🏻
Can't get any closer to than that! Great game guys ty so much for such great entertainment
Thank you… focus on the objective… focus on the objective!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Ooh, lovely game... lots of decent terrain and figures. Great scenario. Maybe motorcycles in the next one....
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

What a great battle rep. Top work as always lads.
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
@theministryofminiatures always do mate. Makes my weekend when I see new content. Got my aog book and my vet Germans so..... lots to build and paint.
Me too!
Great fun to watch and learn - right down to the end! Thank you for another excellent battle report. Very inspiring.
Thank you for the comment much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it… Stalingrad series next!

😂😆👍🏻
Oh dear hope we didn’t offend!
I do like the night fighting rules. My mate and I played our first v3 game with them and it was comedy mayhem 😂
Usually they last a little longer! But got to love them while they last! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
@ we made it be night the whole game 😂
I wish we had too! I couldn’t believe it when he rolled for dawn 😱
And forward we go, straight over the Don!
@@Erzbischof1968 indeed… one way or another!
That was close. I'm glad I lived up to my nickname.😊
@@Erzbischof1968 yes! Very apt, I wasn’t sure how that worked out… but it goes to show focusing on the objective is key .
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

I have to say I laughed aloud at being described as 'Comrade Mike'!
@tabletopminiatures7139 that’s your new knickname! Comrade Mike! 😂😆
Cheers for another GREAT GAME, who knows I might actually win one one day!
@@tabletopminiatures7139 I have a sense that going into Stalingrad next the tables may start to change!

Victory from the jaws of defeat!
I thought the Germans were done for once the dawn came so soon. Great batrep as usual.
I thought they were done for too! Just goes to show that you HAVE to focus on the objective.
Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Hold the bridgehead!
@@smoothbrush4722 indeed! Hope you enjoyed it 👍🏻😉😂
Great job as always! Not sure Mercer even fired his weapon in this one but he still gets paid the same, right?
I know… what about some serious early Patreon kills! Hopefully next time will be better 👍🏻🤞🏻😉😆
River crossing without heavy fire support, is always risky.😅
I know, the idea was to sneak across and take out the guards before the alarm was raised and then fight it out!
Best laid plans and all that!
@@theministryofminiatures Just like real live. 😉
@Erzbischof1968 a win is a win!
@@theministryofminiatures Nothing to complain. 😁
Indeed, steadfast til the end 👍🏻

What was your problem with the Brandenburg Rule? Why do you think you applied it incorrectly?
I think the rule remains even when the unit is destroyed… but we didn’t play that!?
I only saw one of the cover saves for the sniper, which was a one, so I am unsure if this would have made a difference but: snipers are infiltrators. Their cover save would have been increased to a 4+.
Hi, thanks for checking, we know about the infiltration rule, but he rolled 2 x 1’s so definitely dead!
