Another game utilising one of the members' ultra fast play concept Napoleonic wargame rules. A number of unique mechanisms enable players to fight large scale games in quick time. This comes with the benefit of getting a lot of toy soldiers onto an 8' x 6' table. The scenario used was first wargamed back in 1967! When it comes to wargame scenarios, 'why reinvent the wheel?', as they say.
A game that demonstrates the flexibility of the Midgard system, as long as figures are on the same frontage bases. This is some kind of Gallic civil war using Esci and Airfix 1/72 figures.
Some of the most utterly disgusting and replant monstrosities to be found anywhere in the Mortal Realms met in this brutal clash.
Ultimately the Ogors overcame the Moggotkin folks, despite losing their commander in the first turn.
The Italian Campaign in WWII. Fallschrimjaeger vs the North Irish Horse, using Bolt Action rules:
Some Byzantine vs Crusader fun:
A strong force of Panzers, along with German infantry supported by 10.5cm batteries and a flight of Stuka ground attack aircraft, battered their way through stubborn Polish defences to claim a victory with typical Teutonic efficiency and ruthlessness.
The real heroes of the battle, however, were a detachment of Polish Bofors A/T guns which managed to KO three Panzers, including a Pz.III. Likewise, a Polish rifle company disabled 2 German A/T guns that had exposed themselves in an overly aggressive and foolhardy move.
Rules used were Rapid Fire Reloaded which work well, although the interaction between tanks and infantry feels a bit 'off' sometimes.
Figures and vehicles are nearly all from 'First to Fight' in 20mm scale. This is a Polish manufacturer who produce a comprehensive range for this campaign. Well worth checking out : First To Fight WrzesieĊ 1939 - Sklep Modelarski They also available through the normal distributers.
