Sitrep (FOW): the battle for Francville. Belgium. late 1944

The battlefeild view from the Kampfgruppe entry point

Every now and again I get the itch to have a big game of FOW. The battle or Francville pits the Volksgrenadiers and Kampfgruppe Piper vs the British XX corps and the US cavalry. It is inspired the Rapid Fire Ardenne book mission “Battle of the Bugle” with several twists. For the Germans the Volksgrenadiers hold the village of Francville while Kampfgruppe Piper is trying to move through the village while being attacked on both flanks and worrying about fuel supplies. For the allies the situation is no pretty either, they must prevent the Kampfgruppe from exiting the board and capture a heavily defended village and try not to shot each other in the process. The game is played on a 6’x6’ table with the forces begin about 4000 points per side.

It is a war out there (comparing WW2 rules sets)

It is good times for WW2 wargames players these days. For reason unknown several new rules are out or coming out to challenge some of the traditional rules sets. As a bonus most of these new rules sets are backed up by some generous new miniature lines.  But which system to pick from?  Below is my thought on some of the WW2 rules set I have tried or would like to try.

Three posts in less than a week? what is up with that. Could I have changed coffee brands? Is the fact SWMBO is on holidays in America affecting the posting :)
