German Panzer Pioneers vs The First Special Service Force in Dust Up

FSSF sneak through the woods and make short work of the Panzer! This was the last battle of Summer Siege 2012 put on by the Dice Devils (DD) gaming club. It was 1500 pts LW and my last opponent was Twinlinked from the DD who I've played against many times and is a great sport. One of the armies that I've started to collect but haven't finished is the FSSF so I have an idea just how devastating they can be. The mission was Dust Up, and it promised to be one!

German Panzer Pioneers vs Russian Infantry in Hold the Line

Half-track MGs pin a Russian assault! This was round two of Summer Siege 2012 put on by the Dice Devils. I was again pitted against a Russian Infantry horde (played by Nic) this time the mission was Hold the line which had us playing the long way on the table and as luck would have it there was a massive run way (ie road) right down the middle.

Panzer Pioneers vs Russian Infantry in Break through

German 2ICs are not to be messed with! This was round 1 of Summer Siege 2012 put on by the Dice Devils gaming club in Ottawa. The venue was a Legion in Barrhaven and it was outstanding! We had air conditioning, plenty of room to move and sit, good lighting, immediate access to both the facilities and a burger and pizza place and best of all a bar that was fully licensed and less than 30 paces from any table. My first match up was against Richard who was rocking a massive Soviet Infantry horde supported by guns and assault guns. The first mission was Break Through.

88's enforce a no fly zone at SS 2012

This Saturday the Dice Devils held the Summer Siege 2012 in the Barrhaven legion, it was outstanding!  The prize support from Perkins Hobby House, FDB and the Hobby Centre was far and above what you see at most tournaments.  The venue was outstanding, air conditioned, beside pizz and burger places and it had a bar!  This was also the first time I've gone to a tournament that started after noon.  Thanks to Pripyat and RKelly for running the event.  I have a bunch of pictures (if you've already checked out the Dice Devils gallery you will have seem them already) but I've cut out the ones from my games so there will be three new AARs coming over the next couple of days.  Congratulations to the winners:

Overall - Ca$h
General - Big Willie (combined/axis)
Allied General - Louie
Best Army - Matt Varnish
Best Sport - Matt M

Enjoy!

Be warned there is over 100 pictures!
