Eastern Front NUTS! Action

Had a great game yesterday! Tom and Jason Came over and I introduced them to NUTS! version 2 from Two Hour Wargames. Also made this yummy spinach and artichoke dip.

We played an Eastern Front game, with the Germans defending a village and the Russians ordered to clear it.

Photos are kinda funky, as my flash stopped working again, you can click them to enlarge if you wish. In this photo the bulk of Russians were entering from the short table edge on the right side.


The Germans has two understrength Grenadier squads. The Soviets had an understrength platoon with two squads and a squad of scouts, who got to enter from any edge they wanted to. Here are the commanders...


From left to right, Jason commanding the Germans, Tom commanding the Soviet platoon, and Jack commanding the infiltrating scouts.

Here is the only photo that turned out even halfway ok, Tom's troops rush the buildings on the edge of the village.
The game was a lot of fun, house to house fighting is BLOODY once everyone started tossing grenades around. One highlight was when Jason dropped a grenade down a flight of stairs and killed or rendered out of the fight all six members of a Soviet squad!

The Russians managed to push out the Germans, with only one Grenadier escaping! But they took grievous losses themselves, taking 13 casualties out of a total starting number of 24.

Good times, so happy to actually have gotten a game on. Next gaming event will be Southern Front the weekend of the 24th-26th. Hope to see some of you guys there! I am planning on making gaming at my house a regular event, once a month, so will pick a date on October soon.
