🇵🇱 Dzisiaj w domu handlowym Astra, a konkretnie w Planszóweczce, rozegraliśmy desant w Normandii. Połączone siły anglo-amerykańskie, dowodzone przez Cacymiła, Pawła i mnie, starły się z Niemcami pod dowództwem Dominika, Huberta i Andrzeja.

Każdy z alianckich graczy miaÅ‚ do dyspozycji 800 punktów oraz barki desantowe. Po stronie niemieckiej na każdego gracza przypadaÅ‚o 600 punktów, a dodatkowo obroÅ„cy dysponowali bunkrami i dwoma polami minowymi na gÅ‚owÄ™ – choć poÅ‚owÄ™ z nich zneutralizowaÅ‚ ostrzaÅ‚ przygotowujÄ…cy natarcie. MuszÄ™ przyznać, że zaskoczyÅ‚ mnie brak Churchilla AVRE u CacymiÅ‚a – ten pojazd idealnie pasowaÅ‚by do takiej bitwy.

🇬🇧 Today, at the Astra shopping centre – more precisely at Planszóweczka – we played a Normandy landing scenario. The combined Anglo-American forces, commanded by CacymiÅ‚, PaweÅ‚, and myself, clashed with the Germans under the command of Dominik, Hubert, and Andrzej.

Each Allied player had 800 points at their disposal, along with landing craft. On the German side, each player had 600 points, and the defenders also had bunkers and two minefields each – although half of them were neutralised by the preparatory bombardment. I have to admit, I was surprised by the lack of a Churchill AVRE in Cacymił’s force – that vehicle would have been a perfect fit for such a battle.

Podsumowanie:
– Major PawÅ‚a poprowadziÅ‚ skutecznie natarcie w centrum – prawdziwy bohater z zwykÅ‚ym Coltem 0.45. Sporo spustoszenia zrobiÅ‚ również samolot.
– I w koÅ„cu pancerzownica dopadÅ‚a zapalniczkÄ™ Ronsona (mojego weterana – M4 Shermana). ByÅ‚a to 8 albo 9 tura – Alianci mimo olbrzymich strat wygrali. Gra byÅ‚a bardzo wyrównana i dziÄ™ki Hubertowi który losowaÅ‚ koÅ›ci dość dynamicznie szÅ‚a do przodu.
– Oby wiÄ™cej takich gier!

Summary:
– Paweł’s Major led the assault in the centre very effectively – a true hero armed with nothing more than a standard .45 Colt. The aircraft also caused a great deal of devastation.
– And in the end, the tank hunter got to Ronson’s lighter – my veteran M4 Sherman. It was the 8th or perhaps 9th turn, and despite suffering huge losses, the Allies won. The game was very evenly matched, and thanks to Hubert, who drew the dice at a good pace, it kept moving forward smoothly.
Hopefully, there will be more games like this!
