1939 Fun

Rampaging German panzers race across Poland in this early war WWII game. This was a significant victory for the invaders. Apparently the Polish player suffered from 'bad dice syndrome'. Time to invest in some new dice, it would seem.

54mm WWII - Big Boys' Toy Soldiers

A low level skirmish game in which a US recon section had to scout out the most appropriate route through to the other end of the table. This was dutifully undertaken through the time-honoured wargame tactic of driving or running up the battlefield to attract some enemy fire, thereby identifying the hidden enemy combatants. This lead to the inevitable sacrifice of a number of men and vehicles, but the mission was accomplished! A great example of 'Recon by Sacrifice', if you will.

'You can't make an omlette without cracking a few eggs', as they say.

1940 - Blitzkrieg!

Some great early WWII armour in 20mm scale on display here as the French attempt to stem the German Blitz across northern France.

Timid Tigers Lack Punch - Rapid Fire! WWII

In this well balanced scenario, the British secured a convincing win. Despite a couple of early set backs, they professionally advanced on all fronts and successfully engaged the misfiring Germans. This was despite the fact that the Germans were expertly commanded and lead (!)  The biggest disappointment of the evening was the poor performance of the two Tiger Is. They failed to knock-out a single British tank. By the last turn of the game, they had been dispatched by the power of the British 17pdr.

Barbarossa Tag

Some early war action on the Eastern Front as the Germans kick off their Russian campaign on 'Barbarossa Tag'.

WWII - Fall of France, 1940
