The game was Early/Mid Germans v US Marines. Not exactly historically accurate, but at least they were Americans.
My list is based around a recon Kampfgruppen. So Bikes (as suits early war), Armoured Car, infantry with some supporting elements to help deal with a stubborn or non by passable strong point. I did make 1 mistake in my list by taking a Infantry Gun and Pak38 ATG. Made no difference in the end, but i obviously have to change that.
I copped a decent beating in this game. My deployment and use of assets was not the best, but what really bought me unstuck was the marine airstrikes which benefited from 2 6's on both appearances! combined with a good flaming result from the Marine Engineers, my entire right flank was pinned/neutralised in the space of 2 turns. This really turned the tide against me from about turn 2 and I was just trying to make a game of it from there.
I am looking to replace the halftrack with something more useful as it is just a 89 point taxi that does not really do much when troops are unloaded. I am also looking to replace the IG with a mortar and downsize the squads a little to look at an additional armour option.
My first use of some of my terrain to, which was great after years of sitting in boxes.
Anyway to the pics:
