A guest post on my blog by my buddy David who went to a newbie tournament in Malmö this weekend, I intended to swing by myself and have a look and take some pictures but other things came up. Luckily David acted the correspondent for this one, below is his summary of the action and the pictures he snapped:
Newbie tournament i Malmö, Sweden
I went to a 1000pts late war FoW tournament in Malmö. The tournament was actually a newbie tournament so I didn’t actually qualify for it but since there were a few spots left I was allowed to participate. I reminded the tournament organizer that it was for newbs to learn, not for me to be an ass (the baseball bat of Damocles was hung over my head to empathize this by the organizer).
In the spirit of newbness i took my newly painted Cossacks led by the suicidal Pavel Kamnev
The list was as follows
HQ with Pavel Kamnev and 4 bases sappers
3 platoon Cossack company, 1 with SMG´s and with 1 tachanka attached.
3 platoon dismounted Cossacks, 1 with SMG´s (accompanied by the sappers and battalion commissar)
4 76mm Guns
4 120mm mortars
Check the blog for a bunch of pictures from the event and summary of the army lists and battles:
