J188 Grab and Go

I am the German defenders.  While I believe in bringing all my guns up front, I am not backing up fast enough.  I am not happy about exchanging casualties with the Russians at the present ratio (slight more than 1:1) since there are twice as many Russians as the Germans!  Even though the Russians are spread out, they have 5 leaders in this scenario (these are the Guards Para!).


Series Replay : 8 The Fugitives (AH General Magazine)

This is something I wanted to do for the longest time – to pick up a copy of the Avalon Hill General Magazine (AHGM) and layout the Series Replay turn by turn – to see the action and to read the commentary!

This is the first one – published in AHGM vol 23 issue 2.  This was played only 3 weeks after Advanced Squad Leader was published.  The German player was Don Chappell, the Russian player Jim Block and the Neutral Commentator was Charles Kibler.

I have only gotten a turn done so far, but I am proud to have started.  I encourage you to pick up a copy of Avalon Hill General Magazine vol 23 issue 2 and follow along as well!!

I will be adding subsequent turns in the days ahead.

Gavutu-Tanambogo CG, 1st Assault Period

200mm NOBA does interesting things.  For one it keeps all the heads at Tanambogo down since anyone who breaks out of concealment will be targeted.

The Marines need to move off the beach quickly and clear the island.  The issue here is to make sure that we have rout paths amidst IJA units dashing out of caves to close combat unsuspecting bystanders.

This concludes the 1st assault period of the Gavutu-Tanambogo CG, more to come!

Here’s the whole series:
