They infantry didn't stop them.? The cavalry stopped to get everybody in order after winning the fisticuffs.I do agree that the cavalry should have some chance of getting out of control and chasing the defeated infantry or swooning off somewhere. Maybe a house rule to allow this possibilty sometimes is in order.

Re: Effects of fisticuffs on charging cavalry

That seems to be the answer.? In the example, they HALT, which is one slower speed than a walk.

It clearly states that it is a bonus movement action.? They did not say that they get an additional die on a movement action or on one or both of their actions if they take each as movemnts.

Annual Kursk 6mm IABSM

#200801

I try to run a Kursk IABSM game every July and this year was no exception. This one was going to be an all armor one based on the action of Kampfgruppe Stachwitz on the southern front of Operation Citadel on July 10, 1943.

Pz Div Grossdeutschland was working its way north towards Oboyan but had to dispatch a strong unit of panzers(KG Stachwitz) to the SW to deal with units holding up the 3rd Pz Div.

William would command the panzers, while Simeon, Jon and I took the Soviets of the 22nd Tank Brigade, 6th Tank Corps.

The Russian tank hordes are coming in from the near, SE corner while KG Stachwitz begins from the opposite NW edge.

The Russians had 3 companies of 10 T34s each and a bttn CO vehicle.

KG Stachwitz had a unit of 4 Panther Ds(subject to the breakdown card), 10 PzIVG/Hs and some off board Tiger Is. The Tigers could cover the left flank and would roll a D4 to see how many could fire at 18" plus range.

Russian crews had 2 activations (3 for the company COs) while the Germans had 4 activations. So it was Soviet numbers and speed vs German training and firepower.

6mm IABSM Velikiye Luki relief game -Now with Command Cards

#200800

This was a quick and simple game based on the last ditch effort to relieve Velikiye Luki on Jan 9, 1943.? I wanted to try adding Command Cards to the deck ala Sharp Practice (Sharpening Up IABSM) to see if that would give the players a bit more control over their 'plans'.? ? This scenario seemed like a good one to experiment with, especially since I was the defending-pretty well immobilized player.? Attacking Germans had 5 Command Cards in the deck and the Soviets 4.

Overall I liked the addition of the Command Cards, unfortunately having new players involved didn't really provide a lot of feedback.
