82nd Airborne Glider Engineers vs Kampgruppe Pieper in No Retreat

82nd Airborne Glider Engineers dug in around the objective

Lords of War ran a 1750 LW theme Battle of the Bulge event and it was one of the best run tournaments that I've played in. It was also the first time that I've played with the weather effects of ice, snow, blizzards and fog. My first game was against Rob who was rocking a King Tiger Pieper list. The mission was No Retreat and it used the rules for snow, and ice which didn't hurt me as the defender but would slow Rob's advance.

Kampfgruppe Pieper vs Hell's Highway British in Free For All

The old man draws a bead on his opposite and sends him to his maker! This was the second game of the OMG Doubles tournament. It was 1000 pts a player and the mission was free for all. We played against a Hell's Highway British list played by Stefan and Serge. They were rocking two 8 gun batteries of 25 pdrs with infantry supported by tanks, time for the pie plate of doom!
