Finally time for your videos again. Have you increased your troops? Nice. A agressiv german push forward with a pretty close result. Motivating battle! 👍 Looking forward to the next...

I really like your battle reports. The battle ratings at the bottom of the screen in close games just adds to the tension. Keep up the great work. I always look forward to the next one.

Thanks a lot. I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my silly little project. The next one should be up soon.

Nice report. Battlegroup is such a great game.We track ammo using very small dice in holders behind the vehicles. Black for AP,green for HE.

Thanks. Yes, we're having a lot of fun with BG. I've tried tracking ammo with dice myself, but we found that we like not knowing how much ammo the enemy has. I would consider doing it in big battles with lots of vehicles. It's definitely easier than tracking ammo on a sheet of paper like we're doing now.

Thanks for sharing! (Do you count ammo? It seems like you don’t.)

We do. One of the panzer IIIs was all out of ammo, and the rest of the panzers had just a few shells left. The BT-7s were mostly out. I too felt like they should have run out, but I think there are several things that made it feel like there was a lot of spent ammo: 1. there were a lot of tanks, so quite a few shots overall. 2. there was a lot of moving and shooting, so only one shot fired (if the spot check was passed). 3. lots of failed spot checks, so they didn't get off as many shots as they would have liked, and 4. we often roll both spot checks and to-hit rolls at once to save some time. If the first shot destroys the target, we just ignore the second shot.

@@southlandbattles you’re right, a lot of failed spots… Anyway, I just wondered. Plus I think early war has more ammo. (Vehicles like a Marder has very little.)

@@matthijsclaessen8152 That's right. 10-13 shots for panzer III, 13 shots for BT-7. I have some panzer IIs on the way. Those have 18 shots. I play a lot with StuGs in late war. Those have 4-6 shots each. You really do notice the difference. 😅

In our games we count rounds but do not differentiate between types. We justify this by saying the crews would know what sort to take and it saves another layer of record keeping.
