Managed to take some pics of the German-Ukrainian game. Bit of a one sided affair, the Ukrainian Mech group barely made it off their start line due to poor activation rolls. Happy to note this one has GHQ models in!

The Germans flung a Panzer Battalion recce platoon of 5x Panther II forwards, followed by an infantry platoon in 4x Sdkfz 251, whilst a heavy Panzer Company of 10x E-75 ("Tiger III") held the flanks with long range fire. In reserve was an AT platoon of 4x 10cm PAW600 towed by Sdkfz 251. The infantry platoon carried a Fliegerfaust AA team, as well as Panzerfaust 250 and MP44 assault rifles.
The Ukrainians had a Heavy Tank battalion of 21x Is-IV, a mixed regiment of 20x T-34/85 and 10x T-54A, backed up by an infantry company, 4x Su-76 and some towed ATG which never saw action.
They had 3 flights of 4x Yak-9K armed with 45mm cannon and AT-CBU.
The Recce platoon came up close in the centre, wreaking havoc on the T-34/85s and infantry and Su-76, whilst the E-75 plinked away at a mile against T-54 and Is-IV.
The Is-IV is a tough tank! Virtually immune in the turret to even 10.5cmL56 kwk APCR and 12.8cm APCBC rounds, even their rare APDS rounds were ineffective at these ranges. Luckily the Is-IV never made it to a hulldown position, and some were knocked out in the thinner hull armour.
Some of my GHQ E-75 models had lost their muzzle breaks in transit, so I used these to depict 12.8cm armed versions, whilst the others had 10.5cmL56 guns. Very effective against T-54s even at 1700m range.
The poor Ukrainians never got any good shots in, only managed to scratch the paint on a Panther II, and did some light damage to E-75 with an airstrike.
