Mid-War City Fight!


I was in Ottawa again this past weekend and found a few ours to head over to Pripyat's and have a Mid-War FoW game on his new cityfight board! It was ultimately cut short, but we had a very engaging and enjoyable battle.

Video after the jump!


Prip's already written up a great AAR on the Tabletop Tacticians' site, so I won't bother repeating all that detailed info here... go check it out! However, I was taking video, so I've posted those below.



So, my thoughts on the outcome of the battle (highlight to see):
Things were looking good for me on my Right flank, but the left was still a big mess. Pripyat mentioned that I should have been more aggressive on that side, and he's right. Had I positioned my 2nd unit of PzGs behind the tanks and moved up through the ruins from the start, I would have been in a great position to take the far side objective!

There were a lot of Soviets left on the board and the battle could still have gone any way... I'm calling this one a draw. Great game Pripyat!

  1. Cool. How did you splice them together?

  2. I used iMovie - it's a video editing suite that comes packaged with Mac OSX. It's not perfect; for instance, while iPhoto recognizes when I've shot video with my iPhone upside down (and corrects it), but iMovie seems to flip it back!

    iMovie does have some basic editing tools though so it was not a difficult problem to overcome.
