WWII - Early and Late War Games

Two WWII games this evening. One set in the Polish Campaign of 1939 using Rapid Fire! rules, the second a late war game using 'Arc of Fire'.

Xenos Rampant - Blood for the Blood God

A couple of games of Xenos Rampant - In the first, the Rebels and Troopers (aided by zombies!) gunned down the Khorne Berserkers before they could make contact. In the second, the fury and frenzy of the World Eater charges hit home, slaugtering the enemy with unrivalled butchery and barbarity.
