Sort of hit the beach but Germans not defending.
Game 2 was my first outing with Germans. Got to love the Soviets though, much more my mentality of getting stuck in.
Game 1
He had 2 Sherman v, a firefly and a comet defending the corner objective. I had 4 stugs and 2 panzer iv.
The Germans won quite easily. He had the Shermans in a wood but 2 stugs and a panzer took them out.
Blitzkrieg is wonderful in the hit the beach scenario as it takes a while to get across the board.
Firefly hid behind a bunker but was eventually flushed out to try to stop me getting VPs. Comet lasted a long time pulling a couple of audacious moves using fast, once slipping between 2 stugs to avoid them and shoot at a panzer.
Luckily for me the Comet fluffed big time and I legged it, The Comet had to try to get back to avoid defeat but eventually died leaving me with 2 dead stugs and a dead panzer but many a beer was had in the bars of Berlin.
Game 2
Soviets defending their bunker,me, t34x2, t34/85,su100
Germans, stug, panzer iv, pantherx2.
Soviets stay put, Germans advance. The 85 had i8, shot the improved armour panther, bit of damage then radioed the su100. 7 shots, took panther down to 1 hit left. Panther turns turret, 2 unsaved crits on su100. Ammo hit, 3 damage, followed by... Ammo hit, 3 more, dead su!
I think I did shout out "sh*t!".
As in the previous game Germans on me very quickly. Valiant rearguard took out the other panther but not before it wasted a t34.
The commander's 85 lost hit points regularly and died a glorious death trying to stem the German advance.
With one t34 left v stug and panzer iv I thought I was still in with a chance, panzer iv shot me, my crew bailed out before they could shoot the stug which then finished it off as the crew watched from behind a hedge :(.
If the su100 had lived one more turn I think I would have won. 7 shots at i8 is splendid.
If the Panther hadn't suffered so much damage on turn 1, I think I would have lost much quicker as the Panther would have been much more active.
Bunkers are a bit rubbish, trenches are a waste of time generally but tank traps are free and block movement.
