We're back in the winter of 1944 with another battle report from the new tank combat game published by ‪@warlordgames‬ - Achtung Panzer.
For this game we are playing the scenario -Block Clearing. The Germans are defending and the Americans are attaking truing to clear the way for the advance. We are using Class Points for this game to keep things simple.
As alwasy there will probably be a few mistakes but in the end we had a good time.

One thing thatbhad been pointed out which is quite right it that a Penetration roll of 1, always results in a glancing blow, so one of the tanks would potentially have survived a little longer. Just one of those things you over look as you get used to a game system. We wont be forgetting that again 😅

Your table was great. I love that you always put so much work in to your tables, it really makes a big difference in achieving immersion in your games.

Love the Achtung Panzer batreps! I’ve also been trying to wrap my head around all the rules so these do help in that respect.

In the 1980s, there was a game called BattleTech. This was the best tank platoon simulation game for decades and many of rhe training schools encouraged their cadets to play. Achtung Panzer! Seems to be a reasonable variation of BattleTech. Aside.from the occasional large scale combat, the majority of tank actions were 3 or 4 tanks apiece. I've watched a couple of batreps, and while it may not be the smash-em game like 40k ot similar, this is extremely tactical. It may not be for everyone. Hearing the players, it's like the 40k players when they get into Middle Earth, and are pounded by turn 25.

Sounds spot on, you certainly have to think ahead and then you're stuck in that action. I like it, but do understand why others may not 👍

@vancemag 3 ай бұрын

22:17 A roll of a “1” results in a glancing blow (pg43) 👍. Also, I believe the front armor of the turret would’ve been used instead of the side.

@7thson726 3 ай бұрын

Yes you are spot on, I didn't even notice that at the time or in the edit. That's another post it note added for reminders 😬 cheers

@@7thson726 I haven’t had a chance to finish watching the video yet but if that’s the only thing you missed during this game then that’s pretty dang impressive! I’ve definitely found there are a lot more little rules tucked away here and there for this game than I had expected. Really been enjoying it though.

When you are halted and aimed, you can make a crew test to try and target a specific location. This is really useful against a hull down target.

Great battle report and weakening about investing in this game. But if I do will play in 15mm as I already have the tanks and terrain :)

@NSYresearch 3 ай бұрын

I wonder if you could play this with each tank changed to a troop ( 4 tanks ) Playing at 15mm on a 6x4

@reecedignan8365 3 ай бұрын

When it comes to this and What A Tanker from TFL… I really think Too Fat Lardies done it better. What a Tanker relies a bit on both the cooperation of your dice and some luck in hoping you get the right ones to load, spot and fire but if you can’t hoping you get the right ones to move too to avoid receiving shots back. As such, weirdly you actually find yourself moving more to engage enemy targets but also to help avoid getting shot at.

Game still looks terribly flawed. Park some Panthers and splat Shermans with ease. Mediums rely on lucky cards whilst heavies dominate.

@7thson726 2 ай бұрын

Totally get what your saying, I'm not as invested in the period so I'm happy to just enjoy it as a fun game 👍

@TheEldarGuy 2 ай бұрын

Yes? If you park in the wrong spot, the Panther will be splat. The German tanks were heavy on the front and had sizeable range for their weapons. It's also important to remember, there were over 50,000 Sherman tanks made for the USA alone, and just under 6000 Panther tanks built. Yes, the Panther will crush the Sherman, I believe General Bradley had many words about the inefficiencies of the Sherman tanks, but they did seem to populate like cockroaches, so quantity over quality. It's easy to get into gaming mechanics on these games, but on paper, the German war machines were pretty good. Which is why the USA used so much of the tech to improve their tanks post WW2. This isn't chess, with two exactly even forces, it's not paper-rock-scissors where this one beats that and is beaten by another (like 40k and most other tabletop wargames). This is tactical, and the enemy both sides fight is time.

A tank game looks ridiculous in 28mm

You look ridiculous in 28mm 😁 seriously though, I completely get that some people feel that way. I am not as invested in the period so I'm happy to enjoy it this way.

@philipknapke7529 3 ай бұрын

Depends on the terrain. I get that the average distance of a tank battle was something like 500 yards but they absolutely also occurred at point blank ranges, often in cities.

@sirrathersplendid4825 3 ай бұрын

Not ridiculous at all. Have you seen the historic camera footage of the tank duel in Cologne in 1945? There was a panther, a pershing and several shermans involved in a small area of the city centre. There are numerous other well known cases, for example, at the French village of Stonne in 1940.
