Thanks  all.

James, they might stick out on the table but you’ll still need decent die rolls to kill them :D

 :D

I have the table set up for a test game and couldn’t help attempting to recreate one of the Eagles of Empire promo images.

My attempt:



And the original:



I’ve just realised that my short plumes, the green ones, are mostly out of shot, but other than that I’m pretty pleased.

Re: German Invasion 1875: UD 7/1 Table and unit cards for first game

Thanks folks  :)

I’m now set up for the first game, which I’d hoped to play this week but which will now be early next week.

The scenario is quite simple. With the Germans having just landed at Shoreham in Sussex, a unit of Jägers has been sent forward to recce a hamlet that controls a key river crossing. Much to their surprise, they discover that the local citizenry have already heard that something is afoot; a local character, Tom ‘Top Hat’ Muttley, has stirred them up and they are now armed and blockading the road. The Bavarians will not tolerate civilian resistance and so their leader, the aristocrat Hauptmann Otto Schmitt, has decided - perhaps impetuously  - to make an example of them with a bloody lesson.

I’ve yet to make the 6x4 terrain boards so it’s being played on my 5x3 cloth.









This will be an 8 points versus 8 points games of Rebels & Patriots with 1 unit of Bavarians against 4 units of Resisters. The British, if they are to be in with a chance, will need to make good use of hard cover. There are some minor house rules/mods that will be explained in-game. The unit cards look like this (they fold to fit inside A6 sleeves):

Wonderful work. Just as long as those chaps are prepared for the typical, shabby  Bavarian  tricks.

Lovely table, has that perfect film set look. Should be a good looking game.
