Spearhead – WWII East Front

Saturday the local HMGS-South group played a game of Spearhead with 3mm miniatures from Pico Armor. The scenario was based on part of the German counterattack around Kiev on December 5, 1943 – specifically the 48th Panzer Corps vs. the 1st Tank Army and the 18th Army.

Starting setup. The hexgrid is not used for these rules.

All other forces arrive on turn 1.

German motorized infantry dismounts and advances on the northern objective village.

A tank battalion of Pz IVs attempts to outflank the village.

On the southern flank, Russian tanks and PzGr head into the woods.

The northern village is assaulted.

Two-thirds of the village is taken.

On the southern flank, the heavy tanks duel while other Russian tanks advance against the PzGr.

We played for about four hours, by which time only a portion of one objective was taken by the Germans.
