On 31 March,
Kampfgruppe Kingston hosted what we hope will become our annual Spring
Offensive Tournament at Kingston Game Nexus. We started out looking to host 14
players, but in the end, expanded to 16 in order to get everyone who wanted to
play into the tournament. We were fortunate enough to draw players from Ottawa,
Laval and St Hubert with an even split of eight local players and eight from
out of town.

To our pleasant surprise there was a fairly broad range of armies
entered: seven German, four Soviet, two British, two American and one Italian. Of these two were recce formations, four
infantry, four armour and six combined arms (running both an armour and
infantry formation).

Timings
were tight but we managed to get three rounds in as scheduled before the end of
the day. So that we had a good run at the rules we used Breakthrough, Dust Up
and Bridgehead from the more missions. This allowed players to experience a
host of unique rules such as minefields, meeting engagement, delayed reserves,
etc.

Top honors of the day
went to Ross Bradley of Kingston with his US armoured infantry and tank
destroyers winning both best painted and best general. Second place went to
Christian Auclair from Laval with his Italian armour list. Third place was a
tie between the McAdoo brothers Matt and Sam running their German armour and
Soviet combined arms formations respectively. As always, Mike at Nexus gave us
fantastic support and fifty percent of
those attending left with some kind of prize.
