Panzerbrigade 150 - Solo wargame

Quando nell'inverno del 1944 gli americani spostarono le loro stanche divisioni lungo la linea delle Ardenne non potevano essere certo a conoscenza del fatto che l'esercito tedesco stava per  realizzare proprio li la sua ultima grande offensiva all'ovest. Truppe commandos della Panzerbrigade 150 indossando uniformi alleate si erano già infiltrate nelle loro linee, controllando vari punti strategici. Il nome in codice era operazione "Greif" (o Grifone) al comando del tenente colonnello Otto Slorzeny. Era solo l'inizio della fine, ma il resto è storia. Questo è un piccolo tentativo di gioco in solitario con alcune regolette fatte in casa: eccone il brevissimo resoconto fotografico.

When in the winter of 1944, the Americans moved their weary divisions along the line of the Ardennes, could not be certainly aware of the fact that the German army was right there to make his last great offensive in the west. Troops Panzerbrigade 150 commandos wearing allies uniforms  had already infiltrated their lines, controlling various strategic points. The code name was "Operation Greif" (or Gryphon) under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Otto Slorzeny. It was just the beginning of the end, but the rest is history. This is a small attempt to solo play with some homemade simple rules: here's the brief photographic guide.

MG!! The American infantry jumps down from the truck and opened fire
