More new and updated Spreadsheet Armybuilder Files.

Because it is still bizarre weather over-here I still can't paint any of my miniatures. So instead I updated and made some more new Spreadsheet Armybuilder Files.

Market Garden - 1st Airborne Division Airlanding Company (3v1.0)
Market Garden - Frost's Perimeter Force (3v1.0)

Next we have a list with all new British Spreadsheet Armybuilder Files

The Ancible Issue 20 (But no longer for free)

Because this magazine is now no longer for free to download this will be the last time that I will tell on my blog that the latest issue of the Ancible magazine is available. Simple because I don't have the intention of buying the magazine even if it is inexpensive. Beside that is the fact that I can not even buy it. With sadness I have to say goodbye to this magazine.

What is in this issue:
Judge Dredd
Battlestar Galactica
Star Wars x-Wing
Andy does lots of painting

The Ancible

Update for a lot of army files.

All British and Canadian Market Garden army files except the British Airborne army files are replaced by new army files.
All US Market Garden and NUTS army files are replaced by new army files.
The German Bridge by Bridge - 107. Panzerbrigade Panzerkompanie (3v1.0) is replaced by a new army file.

In all these files the stats for the self defence anti-aircraft AA MG or .50 cal AA MG were wrong.
Replaced them by the correct one. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I will update these stats for the Turning Tide files when the new book is released.

Thanks for reading

Market Garden, Bridge by Bridge and NUTS army files.

The last several weeks I have been making a lot of new army files. This mainly because the weather overhere is too bad to do any painting (can't prime the models). So instead of painting I spend more time on making army files. The reason it is such a long list of new army files and I have not posted them earlier is because I also needed time to place them on my own webpage for download. By placing them on my own website it is easier to download the files. Each army has it's own webpage, links to these pages can be found below my blog name. There is one page for the US Files, one for the UK & Commonwealth Files and one for the German Files. The Allied Files link will still bring you to the old page for download but will also get a new webpage soon. This also means that links that brought you to my pages in older blog posts no longer will work.

This has been the first time I made some German army files so I started with some easy ones.
From the Bridge by Bridge armybook:
-Bridge by Bridge - 107. Panzerbrigade Panzerkompanie (3v1.0)
-Bridge by Bridge - 559. Schwere Panzerjagerabteilung Schwere Panzerjagerkompanie (3v1.0)
From the NUTS armybook:
-NUTS - 653. Schwere Panzerjagerabteilung Panzerjagerkompanie (3v1.0)


And then there is a long list of British army files from the Market Garden armybook:
-Market Garden - 1st Airborne Division Parachute Company (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 1st Airborne Division Airlanding Company (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Frost's Perimeter Force (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Commando (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 11th Armoured Division Armoured Squadron (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Guards Armoured Division Armoured Squadron (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 2nd Houshold Cavalry Armoured Car Squadron (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Inns of Court Armoured Car Squadron (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 52nd (Lowland) Division Rifle Company (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Canadian Division Rifle Company (3v1.0)

Then last for the US Airborne from the Market Garden armybook:
-Market Garden - Airborne Divisions Glider Rifle Company (3v1.0)

And for those who have missed it an update:
-Market Garden - 101st Airborne Division Parachute Rifle Company (3v1.1)

For download just click on one of the links below my blog name that correspond with country the army file belongs to. 

Thanks for reading.

Overloon Tournament, the After Action Report.

Finally my After Action Reports
Like I said in an other post I completely forgot to take pictures of my battles. Yes I feel ashamed. But this doesn't stop to write a little AAR about the battles that I played.
First there is a slideshow picturing all the tables used at the tournament. And at the end of this post there will be a list with the results of the tournament.


Game 1: Hasty attack.
Opponent:
Kampfgrupe Peiper
HQ koningstiger
5x Panzer IV J
1x Konigstiger
Full SS Gepanzerte Panzergrenadier
Full SS Gepanzerte Panzergrenadier
3x Puma (2cm)
4x Grille

This was indeed a Hasty Attack. After dployment I already noticed that I did something wrong but it was to late. I also should have chosen the other side of the table.At the left hand I had a full Parachute platoon doing nothing while on the right side a Airborne engineer platoon had to protect an objective. Further there was a Glider field artillery on the left hand and also a Anti tank platoon in Immediate Ambush. A better option should have been my second Parachute platoon as Immediate Ambush.
Turn 1.
After his Spearhead movement and his normal movement the Panzer platoon and 1 of the Panzergrenadier platoons were close to the objective on my right hand and thus on my Airborne engineers. His Panzergrenadiers jumped out of their halftracks.
I ranged in with my artillery on the Panzergrenadier platoon in the first attempt meaning Time on Target. Having all infantry teams and halftracks under the template plus Time on Target I thought this was my change. Yes 2 halftracks go up in flames but the disappointment was that only 1 of his infantry teams died.
Turn 2.
The Panzergrenadier platoon unpins. The shooting step several teams of my Engineers dye. The Panzergrenadier assault. My defensive has no result. Now with in seconds my Engineer teams protecting the objective are dead. My teams don't have the courage to fight on and move back. The Panzergrenadier platoon makes their consolidation move and by doing so my left over Engineer teams are even pushed back further away. I look at the situation. Noway I can get teams near enough to the objective to contest it. Game Over. 6-1 lose. And disappointed.
Table played on.
