Dealing with KV-1s in '41

lýkos · **lýkos**

Just an Update on how it went:

I used:
Disciplined Spotter
Kübelwagen
leIG18 x2
Pioneers x2
Flammenwerfer 35 x2
SdKfz 251 x2
StuG III Ausf. D x2
Wehrmacht Expert Sniper

My opponent used:
KV-1
T-35
Maxim M1910 MG x2
40mm Bofors L60
Commissar
Soviet Grenadiers

We rolled for the map setup and got a rather open one with the objective on a group of hills.

My troops quickly advanced to the objective and avoided LOS to his tanks while the sniper moved into a position with a good field of view. After some maneuvering I got backed into a corner when my opponent "offered" me an exchange of fire at medium to long range between his KV-1 and my StuGs with me having no possiblity to get at least all my vehicles out of LOS. In the ensuing firefight I maneuvered to get LOS to the T-35 and eventually destroyed it. His KV-1 however got off only a single shot damaging one of my StuGs and spent the rest of the game avoiding LOS to my sniper. Neither the T-35 nor the Bofors were able to do any damage to my StuGs due to some bad dice rolling. Having lost his Grenadiers and one Maxim to my leIG18s and the T-35 to my StuGs without inflicting any losses to my forces he decided to retreat.

A stunning victory which leaves with an even greater advantage in points for the next match.

For those who wonder: We are playing the Eastern Front Campaign for the Close Combat Campaign System http://community.wizards.com/go/t...M_34Close_Combat34_Campaign_Rules

Proving why the Expert Sniper is a broken piece. One 11-pt. mini singlehandedly alters the game without even firing a shot.

Anyway, sounds like a great game. Good job on the win.
