We played a pretty large Triumph of the Will Russian Civil War game recently with hordes of foot and horse supported by armoured trains biplanes and a solitary armoured car, full write up and lots of pictures on my blog here:

That looks fantastic and no doubt loads of fun - do like the addition of the aircraft.
-
Love it Beautiful figures and terrain. Captures the period.
-
Looks great fun Roger! Bravo!
-
Thanks very much. we are tweaking the firing rules so watch out for a smaller play test of the changes with Chinese and Whites in Mongolia coming soon.
-
Looks a superb game
-
What a brilliant battle report 😀
-
A great looking game.
Looks like fun was had by all.
-
Joyous stuff 👍
-
Gorgeous models. Interesting another rules set led to an evening of moving towards the enemy with no combat!
-
Thanks all, another one to share shortly, this time in Mongolia as we tweak the firing rules.
-
Roger. Nice report. I presume "Triumph of the Will" are the Two Fat Lardies' set? How do you find them? I've found some of the "earlier" 2FL rulesets quite difficult to digest. I'm planning to game Spanish Civil War in 15mm . I have found a set of rules called "For Whom the Dice Roll" but an alternative is always of interest.
-
Yes TFL rules, they are not as well written as the newer sets but once digested are actually very nice and very intuitive. The firing rules are odd so we are changing them and making some clarifications for ourselves. Other than that I would certainly recomend them, no need to change for 15mm its the scale they were designed for.
-
Rofer, thanks. Always good to get an objective view before buying. At £7 for the Pdf I'll probably give them a go. I will give particular attention to the firing rules!
-
I will share the game write up link on here with a view on the changes so you can check them out.

Marvelous! Fantastic looking game! Great looking troops!

Cheers guys.

Good stuff and a great writeup.
If there was any doubt that we all need trains in our gaming lives, you just dispelled it!

Did I mention that as it was converted from a toy train it still has a button that will make it make sounds?
Got a mixed reaction to be honest.

That's fantastic! What toy did you use?
I build most of my terrain from toys, including my Sci-Fi train which is a mix of Toy Story and CAT toy trains.

I've only recently been trying to keep the light and sound options though. I think it's alot of fun to put a spaceship on the table and them watch it light-up and make appropriate noises.

I should do a mini video of that one for the light and sound effects.

Beautiful miniatures and awesome AAR. I must paint my toy train as well. Excellent sir!

Cheers, the train was by Teamsters, there is a blog post here from when I made it a few months ago:
