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.

Pictures of the Overloon Warmuseum.

Here are, in a slideshow, the pictures I took at the Overloon museum of some of the vehicles and other weapons they have displayed. This is just a minor part of the whole exposition they have in the museum-halls. Missing for example, are more pictures of WWII stuff,pictures of the WWII pacific and the cold war. I simple didn't have time to take pictures of everything. I even didn't had time to go the museum-shop to see if they have something interesting to buy. Maybe I will go back to the museum in the spring or summer so I can take a look around without the pressure of playing in a tourney.
Although it ain't always the best pictures I still hope you all enjoy the slideshow.


Thanks for looking.
