[BGB] BGB South/AAR: "The Nomonhan Incident"

[Viclaire12 at aol.com]

Hi guys;
First play test in preparation for Havoc.The scenario is the 5 month  
struggle along the Korea/Manchuria/Mongolia border  from May to September  1939. 
Russian forces commanded by Rich "Georgi" C. and the IJA commander by Pete  "Tojo" 
O. and Neil"Banzai" R. 
Pete had the regular army while Neil had the SNLF. Attacking over the  
Khalkin-Gol River ( aka the Halsa River) they were met by the delightful  surprise 
of the first introduction to combat of a few new Soviet tools  ( the T-34, the 
Artillery tank etc...) . Attempting a brilliant pin/holding  force maneuver ( 
Pete attacked along a wide center left flank while Neil took  his SNLF with 
armor over the only bridge they really had in an attempt to turn  the Russian 
flank. Would have succeeded if the T-34's hadn't trundled up. Most  of Rich's 
armor was literally on the wrong end of the table. Yet he still could  turn them 
around, smash through Pete and head straight for Neil. Great time,  good 
snacks thanks to Rich's "Better Half". 
Coming up: Pete O to christen his table with a "Freedonia  Chronicles" game.
Next schedule game here will be another play test for Havoc  "Through the 
Looking Glass". 
Time: T.B.A.
I finally received a "store bought" copy of CD-IV:"Test of Battle" from  
"Santa".
It is worth it. The enormity of the work that went it to this book is  
remarkable and Frank Chadwick and Glenn Kidd's best effort. 
Good gaming.
Vic
