Huzzar! - Round 2

This post is a continuation of my post about the Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy scenario Huzzar!  started here.

We left off last time with German and American recon forces sparring over the bridgehead objectives. One of my Greyhounds and a jeep had just run head on into a German halftrack on the eastern bridgehead.

I pull my M8 around to cover the street through the village, thinking the halftrack is backing up to a position in the village. I'm taken under fire from the flank, disabling the armored car and sending the crew running for cover. My crew didn't see another SdKfz 250/9 moving north along the road.

Huzzar! - Recon action

I had a great gaming weekend, how about you? I really managed to play a lot this weekend. I gave Chris' latest, Kekava Firefight a run as the Germans and thoroughly enjoyed it. I managed to pull off a draw, which I felt was pretty good given the size of the attacking Soviet force. I also played a couple of scenarios of Conflict of Heroes (I really need to do an entry on this game) and started to get my head around it. I split the rest of my time between Combat Mission Fortress Italy/Gustav Line and Combat Mission Red Thunder. Quite enjoyable!

Tonight I decided to dust off Combat Mission Battle for Normandy. I may just have found my new favorite scenario from that game.

Briefing for Huzzar!

CMBM 2

Combat Mission Battle for Normandy 2 is out.  After spending a few days looking at Panzer Commander Ostfront, the new engine in CMBN certainly looks pretty!

I like what I've seen so far of the interface improvements.  The upgrade is $10 at Battlefront, and brings CMBN in line with Combat Mission Fortress Italy in terms of engine and features.  This combined with the Red Turn DLC for Unity of Command would be enough to keep me busy for awhile - as if I didn't already have more to play than I have available hours!
