Today weโ€™re getting back to our channelโ€™s original focus on modern-era wargaming. Our scenario takes place in the early weeks of the Ukraine War, using modern-edition updates to Avalon Hillโ€™s classic Panzer Leader system.

With their initial efforts to storm Kyiv frustrated at places like Hostomel, Bucha, and Irpin, Russian brigades tried to flank the city from the west or bypass it altogether in an encircling maneuver. One of these units was the 35th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, ordered on 27 February 2022 to take suburb of Makariv, some 50 kilometers west of the Kyiv.

They were met by elements of the Ukrainian 14th Mechanized Brigade, starting a series of assault and counter-assault that would last into mid-March. Is that the result weโ€™ll see in todayโ€™s Panzer Leader game?

Running a game next week at Das Krieg Haus in Ft. Lauderdale. The game takes place in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, where elements of Task Force โ€œRipperโ€ โ€“ 1st US Marine Division are trying to break through elements of Iraqi 5th Mechanized and 3rd Armored Divisions (Al- Jabr / Al-Burqan corridor, 25 Feb 1991).

Scale: 15mm
System: Seven Days to the River Rhine
Host: โ€œOriskanyโ€ Jim Johnson

Units featured:
M60A1 MBT, LAV-25, AH-1W Supercobra, AAV-7, possible USAF A-10 Thunderbolt II.
T-55, Type 59/II, T-62, BTR-80, ZSU-23-4 Shilka SPAAGs, D-30 122mm howitzers.

The Marines are very powerful, but the Iraqis only have to hit a few of them and/or delay aggressive Marine timetables of advance to win the game (frustrate very steep USMC victory conditions).

Units to be used in our Panzer Leader Moderns game later today. For anyone not familar, Panzer Leader is a "command tactical" scale game, each counter is a platoon, section, or battery.

Ukrainians MIGHT not get that Su-24 Fencer, we'll have to see how the game goes.

Getting ready for a Panzer Leader Moderns game recreating part of the Battle of Makariv, Ukraine, March 2022. This was a small town a few dozen miles WNW of Kyiv, where powerful Russian armored and mechanized columns would tey to bypass Kyiv, either to outflank it from the west or encircle it altogether.

Hexes are 150 meters. Opposing units will include elements of the Russian 37th Guards Separate Motor Rifle Brigade and the Ukrainian 14th Mechanzied Brigade.

Weโ€™re back to finish up our wargame commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Marine landing on Saipan (15 June 1944).

We started this game last week, recreating part of 2nd Bn/ 6th Marinesโ€™ assault on Red One beach on Saipan, part of Operation Forager in the Mariana Islands. So far, the Leathernecks have taken one hell of a pounding getting ashore, with almost 50% losses among their LVT-2 Amptracks and infantry platoons.

But now the (surviving) Marines are ashore, and the Japanese are about to learn to their cost just how well-equipped Marine assault units can actually be. Can the Marines overcome the bloodbath at the gameโ€™s outset and secure a foothold on this critical objective?

Almost simultaneous with the famous Allied landings at Normandy, another big invasion took place in the Pacific when 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions hit the beaches at Saipan. This was the opening assault of Operation Forager, the American invasion of the Mariana Islands.

Saipan would stand as one of the true bloodbaths of World War II, with ferocious Japanese resistance surpassing anything yet seen in the Pacific. Saipan sat well within range to launch B-29 bombers over the Japanese homeland, and the Japanese knew it.

This wargame was played on the 80th anniversary of the battle, recreating 2nd Bn / 6th Marinesโ€™ landing at Red One Beach. Theyโ€™re up against grimly-resolved defenders of the 136th Regiment, 43th IJA Division and even some armor of the Japanese 9th Tank Regiment.

Good evening, everyone: I'm posting the scenario I'm going to run at Das Krieg Haus on Saturday, June 15.

We're going to recreate part of 2nd Bn / 6th Marines' (2nd Marine Division) assault on Red 2 Beach of Saipan, contested by 136th Rgt of the 43rd Japanese "Honor" Division. This assault took place 80 years ago, on June 15, 1944 - opening Operation Forager, Marianas Islands.

Elements of the British 3rd Infantry Division and 27th Armoured Brigade have landed at Sword Beach. Pushing inland to Pรฉriers Ridge, they soon meet one of the few real German counterattacks that day. Kampfgruppe Oppeln of the 21st Panzer Division wants that ridge back, the ideal high ground from which to shell the British still coming ashore on Sword Beach. The British, of course, politely disagree.
