Tyne and Tees vs Panzer Lehr in Encounter (round 2)

Crocs roast some Grenadiers! This was round 2 of Battle Cry in Petawawa hosted by Perkins hobby house. I was playing against Clockwerks77 from Table Top Tacticians and knew it was going to be a supper fun game as we always have a blast.  I'm trying out the WWPD batrepper, I really enjoyed using it, hope you enjoy!

This game was dominated by the scenario and how we chose to deploy objectives and which platoons were deployed. I now know that I will almost always put my objective in the centre of the board and ensure that which ever platoons I deploy need to be able to defend well from an assault while holding an objective. I ended up pulling out a 6 - 1 victory. Let me know if you like the battle reports this way I'm using the batrep software developed by WWPD. I like the interface, its a little different but I think it will save a lot of time. Stay tuned for round 3 coming soon!
