finally got some time to battle
we set the table up to be US landings D Day
my competitor strangely had an over balance of Tigers...LOL
great game and it degenerated into a father vs son thing so much we stopped taking pictures
was a delightful way to spend an afternoon
Nice looking battle. I have been preparing for years for an amphib operation, but just am not there yet. Very complex exercise to run.
ReplyDeleteI like the terrain set up as well, all and all it looked a great way to kill an afternoon.
thanks Paul
ReplyDeleteits a lovely way to spend some time and lots of fun
he always loads up his side with tigers and heavy metal so i always get some off board help- naval gunnery and also i have 3 moves to get on shore free
we use the old airfix rules which i grew up with and they have no water moevemnt so we have scratch upped a few to use
its all very nice and good and as said a great way to connect
That's an awesome game David, how well do the Airfix rules work for a game of this size?
ReplyDeleteHi Al
ReplyDeletethey are fine for large scale action and small- no problems at all
there is plenty not catered for in the rules- ie trying to blow a bunker up or how long does it take to drop a bridge from the Churchill arve or even what damage does the Petard mortar do when fired from the Arve.
but we just muck something up and push on.
we have used them so much that the book is falling apart and we know most of the fire tables and also movemnet rules in our heads......
also using 6 sided dice means easy quick rolling or a resolution if we dont have a rule-
"roll 5 or 6 and you can do it!!" LOL
