The first battle with my son went well, using some rules I found around the internet, I set up the scenario for the boys. The players were my son Jarrett and his best friend harry. The scenario was the Nazis had discovered a working dimensional gate and were using it

to acquire allies to win the war. I built a Star gate and finished painting over 40 Nazi troopers for the battle. The boys had a mix force of American and British commandos and five super heroes, captain America, the Slayer, Indiana Jones, Lobster Johnson, and The Doctor.

The Nazis forces included about 40 infantry, 2 heavy machine gun bunkers, and 3 super villains, Colonel Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, The Red Skull, and a super soldier by the name of Fritz Von Doom (enhance strength).

The battle started with my son taking a team of British commandos, The Slayer, and Lobster Johnson rushing up a fortified hill where the heavy bunkers kept the main force pinned with heavy machine gun fire.

He lost about 50% of the commandos rushing the bunkers, but Johnson and the Slayer reached the cusp of the hill, but where attacked in close combat by a squad of infantry and the super soldier Fritz.

Johnson slipped away from the combat and The Slayer took on the entire squad, killing three troopers and wounding Fritz heavily before being brought down with a cascade of heavy blows.

Captain American and his forces headed straight for the Gate with the American commandos, The Doctor was kept off the field in his TARDIS.

The Americans were also under attack by about 20 infantry, losing about 4 commandos to rifle fire; the commandos fired back then charge into close combat, destroying the entire Nazi squad.

Captain American ran past the skirmish and attacked the Nazi infantry next to the gate, attacking a squad of 5 and killing three troopers and routing the rest. Colonel Karl Ruprecht Kroenen and The red skull charged Captain America, a brutal close combat ensued.

While the battles rage around the table, The Doctor warped in by TARDIS and deactivated the gate with his sonic screwdriver. The British with the help of Lobster Johnson captured the bunkers, and Captain America routed Ruprecht Kroenen and the Red Skull. The battles was won but with heavy loses, The Captain was on his last hit point, when the American commandos made it to the hill where the gate was deactivated.

Looks like a fun game! :mrgreen:
I especially like the mix of characters ( I always thought the Doctor would be cool in a Weird War setting!)
It's nice to get the kids interested in stuff rather than " The Company That Shall Not Be Named".
Excellent stuff!

One minor thing ( I hope you don't think I'm being an arse), being a new member you may not be aware of the site's view on Nazi symbolism. The use of Swastikas, SS runes etc are a bit of a no no when you are posting pictures. Just to make you aware so you don't upset anybody.

Hurrah for Captain America! :

Looks like a great game, both in action and visual impression! And Pappa M. is right. I wouldn´t call it a "no-no" since it can have serious legal repercussions for the persons responsible (notably Prof. Witchheimer, who runs the forum, and me, who moderates the WWW2 forum). So you may post links to further battle reports, but please refrain from posting pictures with said imagery. It´s the law here.

Other than that, please let us know if you do more games.

It's a shame to remove all your pics!
Have you got photoshop to blur out the symbols?
If not, PM me and I'll give you my E-mail address. Send the pics to me and I'll sort them out for you.

Nice use of Heroclix, Horrorclix, Warzone and Heroscape minis, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Papa, I just removed the offending pictures...

What should we paint on our Weird War 2 or World War 2 ...
red armbands? A plain red armband?

I'm not being sarcastic...Any ideas.

I understand and agree about the offensive nature and history of the Swastica but what is a good filler???

In video games I've seen the red Nazi flag with a straight cross instead of a Swastika in the white circle (the kind of cross used on German aeroplanes and tanks).

Not sure if that goes far enough to satisfy German law, though.

Myself I fully intend to put proper Swastikas on anything that warrants it if I have a mind to paint that kind of thing in future (I have done in the past). I shall just photoshop them away with a blur or a black censorship strip if I want to post any pics on LAF.

Pappa Midnight · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2008, 07:39:06 PM »

I tried painting a little black eagle but it looked like a GW 40k logo...... :freak:

Seriously though, I don't think it's an issue what you paint on your minis as long as you abide by the site rules and don't post them here.
I've fallen foul of this myself by taking a photo at a tank museum without noticing the swastika on the information board in front of the tank. A quick "blur" from photoshop and "jobs a good 'un!"

Anyhow, look forward to seeing the next report!!!

I want to see your Doctor and Tardis figs!

Awesome battle report btw!

I'm a repeat-offender on the no-swastika rule on this forum. Since I just paint them on without thinking about the ideology, I often forget they are there when posting pictures. :oops:

I just paint a plain red armband.

For flags and banners, I'm going to use the Castle Wolfenstein symbol in place of the Swastika.
