UAR Debabh Company (T-55)
(English text below)
Siendo un fan de los blindados soviéticos de la Guerra Fría, las hordas árabes del 'Fate of a Nation' enseguida captaron mi atención (vale, las preciosas miniaturas de Battlefront tuvieron algo que ver). Aunque creo que el libro está algo descompensado en favor de los israelíes, la oportunidad de alinear una fuerza considerable de la Guerra Fría era demasiado buena para dejarla escapar. Así que engañé a algunos amigos para entrar en ello, dejándoles a los poderosos (y asequibles) israelíes.
As a Soviet Cold War hardware fan, the UAR hordes from 'Fate of a Nation' quickly caugh my eye (the beautifully crafted Battlefront's T-55 played a crucial role too). Albeit I think the book is slightly unbalanced, with the Arabs on the receiving end, the opportunity to field a sizable Cold War force was too good to let it go to waste. So I tricked some of my friends into it and let them play the powerful (and affordable) Israelis.

The approach to St-Lô: German Lists
(English text below)
Para nuestra campaña de St-Lô hemos limitado las Compañías elegibles a los libros y briefings de Normandía. Además, se ha fijado una puntuación máxima de 1575p a fin de fomentar una mayor variabilidad en las listas.
For our forthcoming St-Lô Campaign, only Companies from the Normandy books and briefings are eligible. In addition, a 1575p threshold has been set to encourage a greater variability in the lists.

Chendo ha elegido una Compañía mecanizada compacta y con mucha potencia de fuego, que puede alcanzar los 8 Pelotones gracias al Kampfgruppe. Con humo, Recon y una buena cantidad de medios AT y antipersonal, esta lista dispone de todo lo necesario para defender el Atkantikwall... y para encabezar un contraataque sobre la cabeza de playa aliada.
Chendo is going to field a compact and versatile mechanised Panzergrenadier Company with lots of firepower, that can grow to 8 Platoons through the Kampfgruppe national rule. Provided with Smoke, Recon and a good amount of AT and Anti-Personnel assets, this list has everything it needs to defend the Atkantikwall ... and to spearhead a counterattack on the Allied beachhead given the case.jueves, 3 de abril de 2014

Para nuestra Campaña de St-Lô he escogido una variante de la Task Force A de la Liga. Rápida y agresiva, su efectividad se reduce considerablemente frente a infantería atrincherada. Por esa razón, su amplia dotación de medios de reconocimiento tienen que ser capaces de minimizar las emboscadas enemigas. No es especialmente contundente en asaltos, pero cuenta con una gran potencia de fuego para preparar la acción de sus dos pelotones de infantería.
For our St-Lô Campaign I have chosen a downsized variant of the Task Force A list I have battle-tested in our Walküre League. Fast and aggressive, its performance can be greatly reduced against stubborn infantry in prepared positions. Due to this, I bolstered their Recon assets to deal with enemy ambushes. Not particularly strong in assaults, it still has plenty of firepower to prepare the ground for the Poor Bloody Infantry.

The approach to St-Lô: June 1944
(English text below)
- La primera: 'A través del Valle del Aure', tendrá como objetivo asegurar el pueblo de Couvains, a 5 millas al noreste de St-Lô de cara a la próxima ofensiva sobre la ciudad.
- La segunda: 'El avance hacia el bosque de Cerisy', buscará desalojar a las unidades alemanas del estratégico terreno elevado del bosque de Cerisy y asegurar así la cabeza de playa aliada frente a posibles contraataques.
Los jugadores, 3 americanos y 3 alemanes, disputarán un máximo de 6 partidas (2 cada uno) en cada uno de los escenarios para decidir el resultado final.
With our I Walküre League almost over, and the winner yet to be decided, it is time to unfold our next Campaign. We will leave behind the harsh Ukrainian winter and move to the rainy Normandy on D-Day+3 to join the American advance towards the strategic town of St-Lô. The approach will be covered in two simultaneous 'Axis of Attack' Campaigns:
- The first one: 'Across the Aure Valley', will aim to seize the village of Couvains, 5 miles northeast of St-Lô for the forthcoming offensive on the city.
- The second one: 'The advance to Cerisy Forest', will see the G.I.s trying to oust the German units from the strategic high ground at Cerisy Forest in order to secure the Allied bridgehead.
The players, three Americans and three Germans will play up to 6 games (2 each) per scenario to decide the outcome.

Building the Ausbildungs - Part 1 - HQ Panthers!
(English text below)
Con la salida del nuevo libro para Late War, 'Desperate Measures', empecé a acariciar la idea de construir una unidad acorazada ad hoc de principios de 1945 hecha a base de carros supervivientes de varias unidades, vehículos de entrenamiento y tanques procedentes de los talleres. Esta variedad, por un lado, me permitirá 'reciclar' vehículos que prestan apoyo en pequeño número a otras Compañías, como los StuGs o los Brummbär, con lo que sólo me hará falta alguna adquisición puntual para completar la lista.
With the release of the new intelligence book for Late War, 'Desperate Measures', I began to cherish the idea of building a motley ad hoc armored unit from early 1945, made of surviving tanks from several combat units, poorly equipped training vehicles and refurbished units from several workshops. This diversity will allow me to 'recycle' tanks and Panzerjäger that currently support other infantry companies in small numbers, such as StuG or Brummbär, so I only need to make a handful of purchases to complete the list I want to field.
