I want to bring the Mao Li Story to a end so I come up wth the last two adventures here ist the first one
lets remember .
After contacting the Chinese Rebels
( http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?t=4122&highlight=mao)
the British Agent ,Sir Montague Rutherford, stard a guerrilla war aganst the fearsome Hei´No and his forces.
A few weeks he attack the warlords here and there but then Rutherford hearing about a convoy with warlord Uniforms and supply.
He come up with a realy desperad plan.
The Plan was to get the supply .
With the uniforms the chinese rebels sneak in Hei`No´s stronghold and attack the guards from within the fortress wile a force of british servicemen attack from outside .
That would end the lordship of Hei´No.
All was in the hands of a small unit of rebels that ambush the convoy........
We play the TaT Rules ( http://www.triumph-tragedy.de/index.html )
A small Force of rebels lead by a British Agent try to get some trucks of the Warlord convoy .
The Warlord´s try to escape on the Road to the other table edge .
(We want to test the vehicle rules from TaT )
The Game take place in our Wargaming Club in Hamburg.
The Players are Heino and Rob as the Rebels and me as the Warlord .
Grimm before the game sure he will win

(A unit armed with pistols is to hard in a TaT game so on´t do it at home )

(never play with old guys )
loosers
http://www.displacedminiatures.com/Grimm/image.html?galleryId=2635&imageId=25988
so after the battle what can I say about the TaT vehicle rules ?
You Guy know I am a TaT fanboy and I realy like the rules but the vehicle rules dosen´t work fine ,with more then two or three vehicle on the tabel.
lots of the vehicle rules are not clear and you have to make houserules for them .
The good thing is that makeing some houserules for a TaT game dosen´t waist the gameplay ,what I mean is that it is easy to make houserules and you dosen´t change the gameplay.
After all I hope that TaT will produce a vehicle book with a clear and easy way to use more then two vehicle in a game .
cheers Grimm

Thanks for the report Grimm !
Didnt expect to see Rob on the pictures. Did you play in 6 mm ?
:)
For the vehicle rules :
Iam not really sure were the problem was. Maybe you can be more precise.
Cars actually work the same as units. What you should not do with cars ( only for fun ) drive at high speed around the tabletop. Trucks are also easy to destroy.
In case you have ideas for more detailed vehicle rules. Please let me know. We are happy about every new idea that can possibly improve the rules.
Cheers

Thank you.

That's yet another fast paced exciting game.

Looked like a very tense game! Convoy games can be tough for the convoy player, particularly if your cavalry screen gets killed early.
WHY HAVEN'T WE PLAYED T&T YET DAMMIT? Joey, this is your fault.
