Good looking game TWD. Out of interest what make are your US troops?

Thanks. Scenery and Germans are all the work for General B.  only the Yanks can I take credit for.

The US are a mix of Crusader, Artizan and Warlord plastics.
The Crusader are my favourite by a tiny margin over the Artizan. The WG are cheap and serviceable.

Looked over at your blog, overall game looked pretty good and fun!  Is this a home-brew campaign? 

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Greg

Yes, it's homebrew, it's our first CoC campaign and a we are learning as we go...

My take is that that the games are shorter, is that because we are getting better with the rules or our little men are more valuable to us, withdrawing when the gains are disappearing. Maybe a bit a both .......

Awesome!  Do you plan on making it available for download on the CoC forum?

Thanks.

Were just using the system from the CoC campaign supplement At the Sharp End. It's a great little booklet to help give a more narrative structure to games.

After quite some time, the campaign continues in short, but fun, fashion

Nice scenario.

You should definitely write a strongly worded letter (in an envelope, with a stamp and using green ink) about that to 4Ground.
And your local newspaper if they don't respond to your satisfaction.

Can’t use green ink, that identifies friendlies on tactical maps.

Go purple. The often ignored colour of ranting letters.

And so to the campaign climax!
Can the Americans hold out in the hotel in Boisclair to thwart Ballzimmer?
