Yesterday I played my first game of FoW since months.
I used the following 1650 (1625) points list:
3rd Canadian Infantry Company from Turning Tide
Headquarters
Company Commander Rifle team
2iC Commander Rifle team
Combat Platoons
Rifle Platoon #1: Capt. Treleaven ( Rifle/MG team, Piat, Light Mortar), 3 Rifle/MG Squads (6 Rifle/MG teams)
Rifle Platoon #2: HQ section ( Rifle/MG team, Piat, Light Mortar), 3 Rifle/MG Squads (6 Rifle/MG teams)
Rifle Platoon #3: HQ section ( Rifle/MG team, Piat, Light Mortar), 3 Rifle/MG Squads (6 Rifle/MG teams)
Weapons Platoons
Anti-Tank Platoon: HQ section Rifle team), 3 Anti-Tank sections (Six 6 pdr guns)
Mortar Platoon: HQ section (Rifle team), Three 3" Mortar sections (3 Observers, Six 3" Mortars), 3 Piats
Carrier Patrols: 1 Universal Carrier patrol, 3 .50 Cal MG's 1 Wasp patrol
Brigade, Corps and Divisional Support Platoons
Independent Armoured Platoon: 3 Sherman V and 1 Firefly VC
Corps Field Battery, Royal Artillery Platoon: HQ troop (Rifle team, Staff team), 2 Gun Troops (2 Rifle teams, 8 OQF 25 pdr, 2 Observers, 2 Carriers)
Air Observation Post
Auster
My opponent used a German Panzer company that looked like this:
HQ: 2 Panzer IV H + Bergepanther
5 Panzer IV H
3 Panzer IV H
2 Panzer IV H + 2 Panzer III M
4 Flammpanzer III
Panzerspäh Patrol
And made a Kampfgruppe
Because my opponent is going to a tourney which has Hasty Assault as 1 of the missions listed he wanted to play that mission.
The time was set on 2 and a half hour (Tourney time for a round).
In the time-frame we managed to play 6 rounds.
When time was up my opponent didn't claim an objective so i won.
In this mission the defender has 3 ways to win. Claiming an objective, Keeping the opponent out of his board half and when you run out of time. So everything is in favor of the defender.
At the end of the game we both came to the same conclusion. The mission is broken.
My opponent had absolutely no change of winning this game.
He simply had no change to claim an objective even if we would have played on for hours.
As long as I can contest the objectives, which I can do round after round nothing goes wrong for me.
This mission is absolutely not Tourney worthy.
