As usual, after exploring a Western scenario, we dive into a Star Wars-themed adventure. Presenting "The Fabled Treasure of Possum Gus" in a galaxy far, far away.

I helped run a rather large Operation Market Garden game at the HMGS Pacific South-West MINI-WARS convention in Fullerton California (about 25 miles South of Los Angeles) last weekend.

This one pic shows the lead element of the 1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade reaching the South end of Arnhem Bridge en route to linking up with the last remnants of British 2nd Battalion, 1st Parachute Regiment in Arnhem itself, with German AFVs burning on the bridge just to the North, courtesy of Red Devil mines, PIATs, grenades & small arms fire earlier in the rather epic 28mm conflagration:



I am happy to report the game -- which lasted all day and night Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday morning -- was a big success.  Re: the results.... at approx. 10AM on day three of the battle (game scale time & day), XXX Corps followed in the Polish Paras' footsteps, one day ahead of their real historical antecedents, and with the remnants of 2nd/1st Para still alive and kicking with help from the supporting Poles, this earned a (happily) surprising Allied victory.

If you'd like to read a bit more about it and see way more pics, here's a handy link to the post on my blog:

More Mars Code Aurora. Today the Xenomorphs (Hunger) took on the ABC Warriors (Science). The claws of the Aliens managed to defeat the very shooty Science dudes. Assistive Target Optics are pretty handy, but claws and Pincers did the job up close.

Our weekly gaming saw us taking another stab at the Battle of North Point in the War of 1812.  September 1814, but portrayed as a modern battle reenactment (complete with spectators).  28mm, using Black Powder rules. 





Scenario info, as well as an AAR is (or very soon will be  ;)) up in my War of 1812 thread...

Well, I couldn't go on winning indefinitely, and today Lee was defending Fort Soixante-Neuf with the Legion, never an easy nut to crack for an army using sabres and muzzle-loaders.
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

I _love_ the look of these tables and are what I'm going to be shooting for with my Oathmark and Footsore models. Do you happen to know where those bare trees are from?

They look to be Northstar's Scary Woods
