WWII City Battle


Great game as always, 12ft by 6 ft table, plenty of action going on all over the table, still not come to a concusion
as of yet, but it keeps swinging back and forth, lots of more photos on the website in the gallery around 70 in total
at http://www.victorian-steel.com

The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

Looks great. Are the  opposing forces all there at the outset of the game or is there a mechanism for reinforcements to be brought in piecemeal? And what size are the units? Which rules? I went to the blog but couldn't access anything, maybe I have to register or something.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

It's iron cross great rules,yes you can add reinforcements very flexible unit s of 5 infantry but can use any size as units removed in entirety and suffer morale losses in the interim.

We had about 30 units a side when all deployed on 12 by 6 ft table at our spiritual home the Victorian Outpost. There should be a couple of how to....articles in the mags soon covering the rubble sections and the ruins

The city terrain is beautiful!  What did you build the shelled building from?  The worn paper on the interior walls is stunning.

Just foamboard and cork sheets, very simple really, took around three days to create, can't go wrong with ruins, mistakes accepted, like Dave said its going in the magazine explaining how to create with plenty of tips ect..
