DAK ATTACK - played in the best possible taste.

Great looking game.

I do like it when you can get all the various models and terrain out of storage and create a big game on the table after a few years!

Agree.
They all sit in glass cabinets…. ready  to go.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
James, glad you enjoyed the game and your day.
These are special rules, as we always walkway with a smile on our face.
Highly recommended rules set.

Superb looking game

Ah, I love the smell of burning enemy equipment in the morning. It smells like....Victory!

Albeit an apparently expensive one.  I presume the lads will render proper milirary honors for Sgt. Wilson, et. al. upon their RTB...

Great looking game, I must say.  And I just did...

Bob! You've caught my 'Mix-a-da-nama' disease.
James' troop got lost on the way.
It was SAM who enjoyed the game & day. 

I'll download my pictures, & load them on , tomorrow.

I don’t think I’ve caught that disease just yet.
I said James couldn't make it.

Bob mate, look again at the quote. 

Meanwhile back to Dak-Attack.


The set up.







The cards show where Germans might be. Due to their propensity to sleeping through ANY loud noises I may well
use figures  of sleeping Mexicans in future.




One of Ian's brave team, having set his charge on the Stuka, found that the others had sped away & had to leg it in
an attempt to avoid POW status.





Bob's patrol came in all guns blazing!  The 'matchsticks' are to show which guns are firing & at what. As the player resolves
each shot the 'matchstick' is removed. One of the many good parts of the rules.




Bob's shooting was effective.




Not everything went the Brits way.





But German losses continued to mount.





so does the butcher's bill for the Brits.









I, unfortunately, failed to take any pictures of the far end of the table, because...it was the far end of the table.
Sam & Dave did Stirling work (pun intended) judging by the number of explosion markers they used.

Memorable moments
Bob machine-gunning & blowing up a Stuka, the same one that Ian had carefully placed a bomb on.
The bits blew up AGAIN the following move. 

Sam ALMOST leaving his vehicles driver-less & unattended in a dodgy part of the town. 

Dave's personal vendetta with a group of German tents. No wonder he doesn't go to the Glastonbury festival. 

Ian's look as Bob shot up HIS Stuka & Bomb. 


All in all a fun day with lots of laughs.
Thanks to Bob for the loan of all his wonderful WW2 North Africa vehicles &, of course, sausage & bacon babs with hash browns.
Washed down with hot & cold drinks.

Apologizes, I see it now.
I thought I’d mucked up the AAR.

Praise the lord!  he has seen the light.

The triumph of British ingenuity and wit needs no additions from me so I'll just upload my photos.

As to the rules I enjoyed them; I would call them 'heroic history', historical enough for me not to put my head in my hands yet at the same time mining the Commando comic book vibe for the fun element. They are obviously limited to the specific time and place but that is no bad thing and in fact allows the rules to play to their strengths.
