Video Battle Report - "Siege of Odessa" 400pts / Operation Barbarossa Empty Video Battle Report - "Siege of Odessa" 400pts / Operation Barbarossa

Hey everyone, here's out first battle report for Barbarossa.  I tried to theme the game after the perimeter defense of Odessa 30km outside the city.  The lists and terrain are heavily influenced by the opening battle scene in the film "Battle of Sevastopol".  Enjoy the Show!

Very good Joe, a good watch... although you got that dismounting from pinned vehicles wrong... the order to disembark is on the vehicle, if it's pinned, no order is allowed, so the guys are just hunkering down inside. This way infantry can fight of an armoured infantry assault, or at least stall it. Otherwise the infantry just pile out and jump you...

Yeah I biffed that rule. In my mind I was attributing the order to the infantry, thankfully it didn't alter the game to much since Vin butchered the assault on the trenches. Next time I'll try to find a new way to cheat to gain an advantage Smile

Well I'm glad youre liking them. I'd rather be playing too but if I can't get out to roll some dice sometimes I search for battle reports to hold me over. This hobby needs a 24/7 battle report tv channel Smile
