Download - Blitzkrieg Blitzkrieg Commander Playtest One of our members, JimCornell, made some exclusive terrain boards for our BKC playtest, so we were excited to try this new system out. All of us except for Dave B. Had played Warmaster before, so game explanation didn’t take up too much time. After explaining the various command, shooting, artillery, and recon systems, we were ready to go.

The scenario’s premise was the basic meeting engagement. It is set in late September of 1944 and a British force has broken through the main German lines and is racing ahead to seize a key village. The Germans have scraped together an armored kampfgruppe and are moving to block the British advance. The British force was broken up into three groups. The first was a mech infantry battalion of three companies plus antitank support. It would try to seize the village and a farm on the outskirts. The second group was an armored battalion of four squadrons of Shermans plus Fireflys that would try to keep the German armor busy.

The final group was the recon, artillery, and overall command. The British plan was to seize the village, dig in, and use the armor to provide flank support in the wide open spaces on the right of the village. The Germans had a scratch force of two panzergrenadier companies, an antitank company of Hetzers, several armor companies of Tiger IIs, Panthers,a and Mk. IVHs, plus recon and artillery. The German plan was to quickly seize the village and have the armor cut in from their left to the village and destroy any Allied armor in the way.

The anti-tank company along with other assets would hold the right against any attack on that flank. With both side’s forces set to go, all units were placed on the board and the Germans won the Initiative die roll and opted to go first. After a few final questions about units and rules, we were ready to try Blitzkrieg Commander for the first time. The Battle Begins The Germans had some successes and some failures on the first turn. The panzergrenadiers moved quickly and seized the outskirts of the village, but the supporting anti-tank units failed their command rolls. The rest of the Germans failed their command rolls as well, leaving the mech infantry exposed in the village. The British responded by seizing the other end of the village and both sides prepared for close combat.

The British armor moved to establish blocking positions on the right, while the recon moved out far ahead of the main force. Turn two saw the devastating power of artillery as the German guns caught a British mech infantry company in the open and pretty much wiped it out. The Germans moved some armor, but most failed again due to bad die rolls. Finally, on turn three the British armored engaged some of the further most German units, scoring a few hits and driving them back. The British brought up MGs and mortars into the village, setting up a defense against the expected German assault.

So far, the German armor had played a small role in the developing battle. Record Of Lodoss War Download Avi. Page 10 WARNING ORDER.

A typical game lasts 2 or 3 hours. BlitzkriegCommander is derived from the family of rules and uses activation rolls to simulate command and control.

Commanders can activate a single unit (or group of units) multiple times in a single turn, but each attempt is at an increasing penalty. This compels players to weigh carefully the risk and reward of each decision (e.g., should I move into firing position—which exposes my unit to fire if I fail the next activation roll—or should I wait in cover?). Combat is resolved with one or two dice rolls, but differs from Warmaster and Warmaster Ancients in that combat is most often ranged.
