Ambush alley near Mao Li
« on: March 15, 2008, 10:48:13 AM »
I want to bring the Mao Li Story to a end so I come up wth the last two adventures here ist the first one

lets remember .
After contacting the Chinese Rebels
( http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?t=4122&highlight=mao)
the British Agent ,Sir Montague Rutherford, stard a guerrilla war aganst the fearsome Hei´No and his forces.
A few weeks he attack the warlords here and there but then  Rutherford    hearing about a convoy with warlord Uniforms and supply.
He come up with a realy desperad plan.
The Plan was to get the supply  .
With the uniforms the chinese rebels sneak in Hei`No´s stronghold and attack the guards from within the fortress wile a force of british servicemen attack from outside .
That would end the lordship of Hei´No.

All was in the hands of a small unit of rebels that  ambush the convoy........

We play the  TaT Rules ( http://www.triumph-tragedy.de/index.html )

A small Force of rebels lead by a British Agent try to get some trucks of the Warlord convoy  .
The Warlord´s try to escape on the Road to the other table edge .
(We want to test the vehicle rules from TaT )

The Game take place in our Wargaming Club in Hamburg.
The Players are Heino and Rob as the Rebels and me as the Warlord .
Grimm before the game sure he will win

a part of  the Battlefield

The rebels are hidden on the battlefield !!!!

My Trucks arrive , supported by cavalry.



But also some rebels show up there face .
They open fire and kill my cav. !!!!



 :x

My convoy speed up




Then I see Rob and I know he has a evil plan ,you can see it here or not ?


a unit of rebels come out of a house and stard fire !!! my first Truck was out of the game  :freak:

here you can see Rob making party after that hit (also see Mad Mö)  .

My trucks take the curve and I hope that my leader  car will make the run ,but Rutherford has other plans for it.



(A unit armed with pistols is to hard in a TaT game so on´t do it at home )



things where bad for the Warlords but the Game was not lost two Trucks where still on the road and they where close to victory .
I take  a new curve only to see some barricade !!!
the Truck chrush thru it


but I lose control of the truck and the truck scatter in the mody ground near the road.
 


the next car stop by the agents
http://www.displacedminiatures.com/Grimm/image.html?galleryId=2635&imageId=25979

I have only the truck that stuck in the roadside.
The driver look in the driving mirror and see...........


a turn later all was over.


my last ativation was a special action to surrender with my last unit .


the rebels win and take the supply wait for part two of the plan ...........

winers


(never play with old guys )

loosers
http://www.displacedminiatures.com/Grimm/image.html?galleryId=2635&imageId=25988

so after the battle what can I say about the TaT vehicle rules ?
You Guy know I am a TaT fanboy and I realy like the rules but the vehicle rules dosen´t work fine ,with more then two or three vehicle  on the tabel.
lots of the vehicle rules are not clear and you have to make houserules for them .
The good thing is that makeing some  houserules for a TaT game dosen´t  waist the gameplay ,what I mean is that it is easy to make houserules and you dosen´t change the gameplay.

After all I hope that TaT will produce a  vehicle book with a clear and easy way to use more then two vehicle in a game .


cheers Grimm

Thanks for the report Grimm !
Didnt expect to see Rob on the pictures. Did you play in 6 mm ?
 :)
For the vehicle rules :
Iam not really sure were the problem was. Maybe you can be more precise.

Cars actually work the same as units. What you should not do with cars ( only for fun ) drive at high speed around the tabletop. Trucks are also easy to destroy.

In case you have ideas for more detailed vehicle rules. Please let me know. We are happy about every new idea that can possibly improve the rules.

Cheers
Björn

Looked like a very tense game! Convoy games can be tough for the convoy player, particularly if your cavalry screen gets killed early.

WHY HAVEN'T WE PLAYED T&T YET DAMMIT? Joey, this is your fault.
