Aaron got his group together on Armistice Day to start some Great War on the table. We played on an 8x4 table, 2 players per side, and each side had 300 points.
This time the Allies were on the defence. Mark's Canadians held the left flank while Aaron's Metropolitan French held the right. Todd and Jon's Germans formed along the front, using their infantry to keep the defenders busy while massing their armor against the left flank, hoping to overwhelm them.
Shawn Bagley organized a real extravaganza of a tournament for Bolt Action this past weekend, which he called Rumble in the Rubble.
We had a total of 22 players turn up, playing 3 games on 11 tables, each based on an urban area that saw heavy fighting during World War Two.
The GHS group started a new theme recently, planning a series of Napoleonic battles using the Black Powder rules from Warlord Games. We use the excellent supplement special rules from Clash of Eagles, as these give a very Napoleonic flavor to our battles.
The action saw two wings of the French Army pushing against a Russo-Prussian one. The defenders had decent positions, but were heavily outnumbered, especially in cavalry on their left.
The NUTS group had it's regular monthly WW3 Team Yankee game recently.
In a change from running large points of super tanks, we went with 105 point forces. This makes a number of other forces viable, as the super tanks are thin on the ground at 105 points.
The NUTS group's latest campaign, set in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon in 1982, had its second game recently.
Bart commanded the PLO and Syrian forces, with a formation of PLO fighters, supported by a formation of Syrian T-55s and another formation of Syrian T-62s.
