Kasserine Pass

Well at least that is what it felt like. Mid War scenario of Germans versus Americans. You don't get much for 71 points if you are American and as they are green troops the their skill check is 5+ on a D6. Couple this with Stuarts being hit on a 2+ because of their rating as reckless and you start to get a picture of what this battle will be like.

The scenario itself was a hasty attack with the Germans as attacker, which was just as well because I had to leave my platoon of medium tanks off the board in reserve. Now anyone who knows about my luck with reserves knows I had better start praying.

I did get a couple of hits in, but over all it was a walk over.

This scenario also gave me another look at version 4 mid war and I have to say I'm not a fan. Everything from circular minefields to infantry moving faster than half tracks and tanks to the same fast infantry never getting fatigued just seems silly. Instead of armour rushing about the battlefield infantry is. I might try it again, but won't be thrill to that is for sure.
