Battlegroup: Clash of Reconnaissance (intro+turn 1)

Start of Turn 2

8 Rad moves up and attempts to fire at T-60, but fails to spot from all the dust that was kicked up. Truck moves up and unloads the Pak38 to gain a better position to fire.
LMG 1 arrives at table edge, but no more orders are available this turn.
3 units arrive (Truck/AT Gun, and Rifle Squad 1) at table edge. Rifle 1 moves towards objective while the truck unloads the AT Gun.
AT Gun sets up for a shot at the 8 Rad.

Start of Turn 3

Pak 38 moves into line of sight of the sniper on ambush.
Sniper takes out two of the crew, a 6 is rolled on their second morale test. This gives a chance for a free order for the Pak 38 on a “Beyond the Call of Duty” test. Another D6 roll is required of 3+ due to them being regulars, and they pass on a 6!
The heroic last remaining crew member opens fire at the T-60. First shot ricochets off, Second shot penetrates and knocks it out.
Command squad passes comms check to call in mortar strike. Spotting round is wildly off by 12″. Strike is called off.

    1. While I’ve played quite a bit of BA, it’s great for what it is. I’ve not played CoC yet. Battlegroup is VERY deep, the amount of things you can use on the table is never-ending, and units work like they would in reality. It’s more narrative than arcade style. The best aspects to me are its ability to recreate the fog of war, nothing is guaranteed, how it handles artillery, and the battle rating system. Lots of excitement and unexpected things develop, as they would in reality.

      1. Sounds interesting.
        It seems I have a copy (just the rules), a 2017 edition. I must have a read and see how it works.
        Looking forward to the he next installment.
        Cheers,
