Played 2 quick games against Skrivanek tonight. He managed to win both. Lessons learned included: mortars are nasty; scouting Krieghunds are good, but not a sure thing.
The lists were as follows:
German Recon:
Vet Officer - Pathfinder
Vet Doktor
Regular MG-42 (Looking at it now I did not have 3 Infantry...oops)
Regular Wehrmacht
Regular Krieghund
Regular Emaciated
Special order - scout
American Support:
Elite OFficer - War Hero
Veteran MG
Veteran Mortar
Regular Airborne
Regular Sniper
Green GI
Special Order - Artillery Strike
We played at Eagle and Empire in Alexandria, VA, on a really nice desert table.
First game was the new scenario from OTW 10 with the Americans trying to recover data from an experimental tank leaking radiation (we used the rules suggested on this board). The Krieghunds were ineffective on their charge, the mortar popped the German leader. The germans eventually chain-routed.
2nd game was welcome to hell. The mortar AGAIN popped the german leader, but not before he and the emaciated troopers (juiced for +2 strength by the Doktor) massacred the airborne. The Americans routed the Germans off the map, but had the stupid Krieghunds managed to kill either or both of the MG troops in hth, the Germans would have achieved their test-subjects secondary and possibly reached attrition.
2 fun games, at least one of which could've gone either way.
