mission critical (FOW): Jabonica, Eastern front 13th August 1944


Overview:
Repeated attempts by the German army to destroy the Sandomierz bridgehead have failed . Two days ago Tiger II tanks were employed for the first time in the war and they could not pierce the bridgehead. A final attempt has been ordered for today. Kampgruppe Collin from the 16th panzer division has order to link up with 64th panzergrenadier regiment and push onto Ogledow. Unfortunately during the night the Russian 6th Guard Tank Corps broke through the German lines and captured Mokre and Ponik and is threatening to capture Jabonica.

WiP (FOW):what to do with those left over parts from the Plastic Soldier Company


Plastic Soldier Company (PSC) are making big waves in the world of the 15mm ww2 gaming. Cost effective plastic with a wide variety of options ticks a lot of boxes in the like column. So far I have picked up five different sets and have assembled three of them, the Panther, the stug and the T34 76/85. After assembling the tanks there usually is a lot of parts left over. Here are some of the things I have been thinking of using them for.

Mission Critical (FOW): Tiger hunting on the Eastern Front


Design notes:
Based off “Defence of the Vistula Bridgehead” by Chris Stoesen in the Two Fat Lardies
2012 Christmas special. The article was in turn based on the memories of Lieutant Evengi D Moniusko “from Leningrad to Hungary: notes of a Red Army soldier”

Overview:
Summer 1944, The Red Army has established a bridgehead across the Vistula River. The German army commits its heavy Tiger tanks to break down the bridge head. Between them and the river stands the 1645th Tank Destroyer Artillery regiment.
