Reply To: KG Klink, Poland, Game 1

[Just Jack]

Sparker – Thank you Sir, I appreciate it, standby for (many) more.

Rod – You’re absolutely right regarding Schwerepunkt, but please keep in mind that the tabletop is only showing one small portion of a larger battle, following only portions of a single unit.  So, as an attachment to 4th Panzer Division, KG Klink was responsible for one small portion of 4th Panzer’s fight at the frontier, which was only a part of 10th Army’s fight to breakthrough at the border.  In this manner I can use the KG to carry out any of the varying types of missions as parts of larger battles.

And you’re right, the Poles put up a fair amount of resistance, but mostly that was due to the amount of forces and their structures on the tabletop; I gave the Poles a pretty good chance of doing well as I didn’t simply want a pushover.  In terms of how I’m running the campaign, even if the first fight failed, the overall breakthrough by 4th Panzer would still have occurred (just off table), and so I’d still have moved on to Mokra.  Only with a severe reprimand for the Schutzen Company Commander for embarrassing the Kampfgruppe 😉

And Happy New Year to you as well, hope you’re getting some gaming in!

Kyote-John – Hey Old Man, glad to see you, hope you’re having a great holiday season.  I apologize, I’ve been playing so much I haven’t really been reading up on the forum here, but I just read through your Barbarossa thread, good stuff, just need pics 😉  You get a camera, then you can call me and I’ll walk you through how to 1) set up a blog (which you don’t need to use as a blog like I do, just as a means to store your photos on the net), and 2) how to post them here!  Take care.

So far I’ve finished 7 games, and the table is set for number 8.  I’ll try to get another one written up and posted today, so stay tuned fellas.

V/R,
Jack
