German Game Turn 8 – Night



Well we are playing with programmed weather and the weather for December 2 is Storm. Its not good news for Eldar.

Rules for storm weather are quite severe



You could see the storm effect in his artillery fire. Despite hitting the 2/17th and 3/113th about 6-7 times each the best he could achieve was 1 man from each unit. Ranged fire from his infantry was also quite low. He averaged about 4 men per shot. The Russian shot as well as possible and did get artillery support, but with 3 Bn’s v 2 Bn’s they were a bit outgunned. Going by his fire results I would say his unit A is the weakest and B the strongest.

The 2/1st Gds Bn just off map lost 3 men to artillery as well.

Things must be hard for the Germans now. They were already penalised by the Frozen Penalty.
 


The effects of these are.


 
Russians are not effected by the Frozen Penalty but the Storm does effect them.  There is no Night Disruption in this scenario and Russian recovery is superior to German as you can see in the chart above. 

All in all things are indeed tough for the German in this scenario.
