The Rescue - A Battle Report PICTURES ADDED

[thejammedgatling]

This, sir, is a giant dispenser of awesome sauce. I love it. Where are you again? I need to show up for the next one...

Perth, Western Australia....the ends of the earth my friends...

Cheers for all the positive feedback and I promise to get out the brasso and get some proper pics of the Hermes as soon as she's done. We're going to cut back on the terrain a lot next time and go for a much more 'conventional' battle. Lots of cavalry and open spaces. Mechanical cavalry of course...but still cavalry.

Excellent report. Must persuade Malamute and Thunderchicken that they really do need to play another game soon

I'm up for it.

Superb report as always, some stunning buildings and vehicles on the table.

Best get that fully functional 1:1 scale model of Ramshackle Chris' "Boring Machine" built, then

Awesome! Love what you have done with the Huntsman! Brilliant. Do you have any better pictures of it?

Yep, I'm ready to dish out another sound thrashing. 

Jammedgat, great report and pics. How long did the game last for?

I'll dig through and try and find a couple. Think in our last report 'Horsts ferry' there were some better ones. Glad you like them. I currently have a third one under construction for my Russian forces, though it's at a very basic stage. Can't wait to get the two ATAT's I have converted so we can have a battle of the Leviathans!

How long did the game last for?

It was about four hours all up. The game went quite slowly as we had so many players new to it and we had forgotten some of the stats so we had to write them up as we went! I think many of the players went away having enjoyed it but feeling that the 'heroes' and vehicles had not had much effect. I think this was mostly the result of some freakish dice rolling! Having a lot of terrain also made for a slower, more tactical game as troops used available cover instead of charging right in. My favourite part however was the missed artillery fire rolling...that shot had to land somewhere! So we saw lots of friendly fire casualties and buildings obliterated!

Thanks for all the comments.
