Scream... Aim, Fire!

[Harry Faversham]

Found a copy of these rools in the Emporium. They look daft enough, to really enjoy!
First try, Veteran Tommy Paras, holding the perimeter. It's points based and Veterans are expensive. So many Germans will be arriving. Table set up tommorow, game on Sunday.
Anyone had a go with these rules?

An idyllic, peaceful scene in Holland, just North of the Rhine. But, a closer peruse says, maybe not?
 

[CapnJim]

Looks good. 

Those poor buildings have certainly seen better days, though...somebody dun blowed 'em up...

[Harry Faversham]

You Yanks, precision bombing with yer magical Norden bombsite!
 

[Harry Faversham]

Battle is joined!
The Germans push for ward with plenty of dash, Their halftack leading the way. The British Occifer Commanding is staggered as his forward Section flees their hard cover.* Thankfully this a temporary state of affairs, remedied with a couple of rallying blasts of his hunting horn! A PIAT is deployed, but the first bomb goes wild. The Germans have a few problems of their own, as their right flank unit hugs the hedgerows. Their mortar, slow to deploy. A close range firefight develops. I'm irked to find the German's senior NCO is a Sergeant Steiner type fellow. Rallying off 'suppression points' faster than I can put 'em on!
 

[CapnJim]

Interesting.  THAT is close quarters combat.

I wonder who will prevail?

[Harry Faversham]

Command decision made. Looks a tad crap with them big stand thingys...


 

[CapnJim]

Never been a fan of those movement tray/sabot thingies.  To me, an old tanker, a sabot is something you kill an enemy tank with. 

Like how it looks with just the figures.  Waiting to see if our brave Paras pull off a win...

[Patrice]

Not my usual kind of game but I like it, thanks for sharing. 

[Harry Faversham]

To be fair so far, I'm a tad bored with the rules, nowt decisive's appertaining!
 

[CapnJim]

I took a peek at those rules.  Didn't excite me much...

[Harry Faversham]

'Combat Ready' chart might be useful, for solo games?
 

[CapnJim]

Hmm.  I'll have to take another gander at 'em.  Luckily. I have a weekly gaming group, so solo gaming isn't a big deal for me....

Those Paras look the part.

[Harry Faversham]

Those Paras look the part.

Thanks Ash, praise indeed coming from a painter of your calibre. Wish I could bask in the glory... but Cubs painted 'em!
