Due to lack of Players I think this game should be put back in the box.

PLAN B
Keeping to VE Day 80 theme and end of the 3rd Reich

All forces German v Russian

PBI day with 2 x normal tables (4x4)

1 x 4x4 table with the Reichstag on ,as  Colin as done a lot of work on this model and should be used
The foot print of the Reichstag is 2x1 with out the wings

Special rules for this table
Defender - German
Attacker - Russian

Use 6-22 level on the 'Chase' for units on table at the start
Normal scenery rules except the Reichstag counts as 4 templates so thr Defender only gets to chose another two

Only Objective - capture the Reichstag and plant your flag

Players -
Stewart - table set up German & Russian forces
Martin ?
Miles ?
Simon ?
Big Mike ?

Thanks for keeping this all on life-support, Stewart.

I'd be up for a "Berlin-lite" game on Saturday 10th May, such as you suggest here.

Sounds promising Stewart.
Thanks for persevering.

Good idea not to add on special rules unless you are doing a few play tests.

Possible considerations.

1. If a player is on the reichstag table. Can the attacker claim it by taking any single reichstag square? Or is it a single labelled square. Then as defender I will just make a "ring of steel" around it. Maybe still have 3 objectives with one of them in the reichstag? Otherwise the game will be very predictable. i.e. I know where the attackers are going to go.

How about reichstag on one table and the two wings on the other two tables?

2. Normal 400 points?
3. Restriction on army quality?
4. Restriction on vehicles?

Good luck
