We play Battleground WW2 at least three times a month. A great game, which is easy and quick to play while at the same time detailed. Has my vote as the best wargame, period! [15 Nov 1999] |
| David Larkins |
A meeting engagement between Soviet tanks (supported by a squad of assault troops) and two squads of Germans (supported by a Tiger II). The focal point of the battle was a small grain silo/processing plant. The IS-2 was disabled early on by an extremely lucky shot from a Pak 40, and things went downhill from there. End result: a total Russian rout. [11 Nov 1999] |

Tarawa Atoll, morning of 20 November 1943. Lt. Col. H. Ameys 2nd Bn. 2nd Marines storm Red 2 on the northern coast of Betio Island. Very tough going for the leathernecks. [13 Apr 99] |
| Vince Solimine |
Streets of Stalingrad urban infantry fight. [28 Mar 99] |
| Paul Leicht |
Skirmish involving units from the 3.SS-Panzer defending suburban area of Warsaw in August 1944 from elements of the Soviet 47th Army. [9 Feb 99] |

Tried doing the large scenario in Easy Eight's Tanker's Challenge supplement for Battleground. Thirty some t-34's versus half a dozen PzIV's and panthers (we modified to fit available models). The scenrio really goes overboard for a 1-1 scale. Even in 15mm there was too much stuff- the game took over six hours. [8 Feb 99] |
| Scott Fisher |
Last game had early T-34s against a German Recon platoon with some armored cars and Pz IIs. Very great game, quick to play and great realism. I think Battleground WWII is the best skirmish in the market. Usually this game is billed as pure "infantry" but we have found that it is a great game for armored actions too. [8 Feb 99] |
