Historical miniature wargaming & in-depth “deep dive” rules mod’s, tiny tanks & stuff!!!😀
Pinned
This thread is from the GM’s perspective, not as a player, but as the table Ref (rules modifier!), to chronicle the gameplay with the “deep dive” (realistics) rules mod’s where interesting battlefield situations take place in the world of miniature tabletop wargaming, so, let’s see what goes?😀

I finished off the German late war SP guns made from French tank chassis. I added Skytrex Command Decision crew and plenty of foliage to keep them safe from Allied airpower. #wargaming #painting #ww2

Konflikt 47:

I painted up another 6-man squad of US Inf for my K47 army. I really enjoy painting WW2 miniatures, which I didn't think I would. I also love the faces of these chaps, so much character!
I particularly like the head of the bloke with the BAR, having a sly fag.👍

The SU-12 entered trials #OTD in 1942. This vehicle consisted of a 76 mm ZIS-3 divisional gun on a chassis made of T-70 light tank components. The trials were successful and the SPG was accepted into service as the SU-76. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Last night as the French successfully held off a German Blitzkrieg we bumped in to how fixed line Forward Observers mesh with the abstraction/virtualisation of Forward Observers in the new rules.

Anyway a suggestion - the Forward Observation Point (FOP)

I'd like to use this more often, but my feed is flooded with politics. I like politics, but I also don't want my feed filled with it when I'm looking for wargaming content. Are there any threads/whatever they are called I should follow that will cut out the noise? Not 40k/Warhammer stuff though...

Sdkfz 251/22 3. Seems the best use of this vehicle, is the U.S. M-18 TD tactics, one ambush shot, then immediately “book”!, only, rearward, out of combat range!🤔, a good retreating/rearguard vehicle😶(for a short time)🤔, but, no real combat staying power!, anyway….🙄

Sdkfz 251/22 2. After only three rounds, there is a “mandatory” optics (gunsighting) check, if failed?, the to hit chance becomes -3, & gradually decrease’s -1 per subsequent shot, until the vehicle is taken out of combat & resighted!🙄, then come the mech/ checks, 5 mov phs’s dam/dis!🙄🤔not great!

The 251/22 is a pretty cool concept huh?, yeah but?, it has its challenges, it simply wasn’t designed to absorb the recoil of the 75 cm AT gun, it just wasn’t!, so, implementation on the battlefield has it’s issues!, of which we’re going to see on the mod’s!🤔

Stalingrad Project WIP:

This is my first @warlordgames.com
Bolt Action tank ever! And I'm having a blast!

Quick WIP of the IS-2. The main body is painted, washed and highlighted. Decals are on. I'll pick out the details next and then I'll start weathering it.

More tomorrow. 👍

Initially, the turret of the Maus tank was located in the middle. In October of 1942 the tank was redesigned to move the turret to the front, but #OTD in 1942 the turret moved again, this time to the rear of the hull. This was the final layout. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

In this table scenario, the Germans are defending a Hungarian village against a Soviet probe (recce in force!), the Germans have a Co. of the 27th Pz. Jagr. Bttn (mot.)/w an Sdkfz 251/22, (Pak 40!) and is backstopping the dug-in forward 1st Co. of the 79th Pz. Fusilier Bttn No. 1!🤔
