Title: Battlegroup Overlord AAR in 28mm
Post by: Grey Panda on 30 July 2015, 11:32:16 PM

New AAR with  Battlegroup Overlord in 28mm.

Battlegroup is usually my rules of choice for larger Company/Battalion level games but recently I’ve been more interested in a skirmish/squad gaming… for some reason I never really considered the rules for this size of game…
Until that is when the other day I had a four non war-gamer pals over I decided to give it a try.
 I was very pleased I did. Probably the best, most enjoyable game I’ve taken part in in a long time. Anyway I took some photos of the game.
 2 players per side who were allocated units. I umpired so first moves were made with neither side knowing the strength or positions of each other (unless spotted or LoS) Due to these limitations lots of these photos were taken after the event (recreated the recreation)
 The empty battle field (and the clever “area fire” rules meant that the players actually shot at buildings without definite knowledge of an enemy presence, which I thought was brilliant :)
 The rules went down a treat with two of the guys wanting to immediately start into the hobby, poor blighters
 Anyway terrifically enjoyable game and I’m pretty sure I’ll be using this system for my future skirmish battles from now on…

I see you can make pigs (or is that a cow?) fly! Nice report!

Yes, that my friend is a pig and yes, after several attempts he did in fact fly ;)

Personally I'm horrified by the lack of flying pigs in recent AAR's ;)
