Had a quick pre-GenCon game today. A completely 'weird-less' game of Americans vs. ROA. In my attempt to get across the battlefield, I brought an Infantry detachment filled with militia, an MG42 team, cossacks, sniper and a cleric. Blocking my escape was an all-Airborne Veteran detachment with veteran BAR's, a mortar and an eccentric millionaire officer.
I thought I had a good chance until the game got off to a rocky start with Stragglers being used on my Cossack officer. I got a few good kills with the sniper and MG42 team when the sniper was suppressed and some of my militia began to fall to seriously lucky BAR fire. Turn two started my quick descent to failure as an amazing mortar round landed on a militiaman and my ROA sergeant. With no drive mitigation on the table, it was only a matter of time before my whittled-down militia began to route. The game ended with only three Americans dead, one wounded and my officer never even showed...typical Cossack.
Time to build some German hotness with which we can deliver a blow to the capitalist dogs!
