FUBAR AAR - Enfilade 2013 (pic heavy)

[Sinewgrab]

So, late last month I went to Enfilade (a historical gaming convention here in the northwest of the USA) and I ran a small FUBAR game.  The theme for this year was 'Silver Screen', so I ran the battle of Bjork's Drift, with my stalwart Norwegians facing off against a larger force of native Martians.

I didn't take nearly as many photos as I should have - I was busy herding cats - but it did not go nearly so well for the Norsk.























When the natives hit the wall, they overwhelmed the defenders, who had, I must say, the worst activation roll luck I had ever seen.  I think they managed less than 50% success on a roll that was 3 or better most times.

I don't remember all the details, but the pictures are pretty.  It was 6 units of 15 Martians, 2 Trolls, a Jotnar, a unit of Bantha Cannon, and a Shaman with 2 bodyguards against 3 units of 10 Norwegians, 3 Ornithopters, 1 mountain gun, a Steam Clank with Mechanic, and a small Aeronef.

Very nice!  Which iteration of the FUBAR rules did you use, and what were the stats?

Thats some good looking terrain and miniatures!

A modification of your VSF rules, heavily modified to make it 'con-friendly' for this game.  They were down to one page when I was done, and I just cut out lots of things that slow down games with more than 2 people in them - I had 5 in this game (3 martian and 2 norsk). I'll get my stat cards posted here when I get home - I don't have time before work right now.

I heard about your game, but was unable to see it. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Simply splendid, so good to see the FUBAR VSF rules get an outing

YEah, well, as an old time wargamer who has tried one hell of a lot of systems, I really like what was done with FUBAR.  I just wish the name was a little different.  Too many military types I play with.  Anyway, here are the stat cards I used...

For Free Norway...

And for Martians...

Those cards look excellent. Really useful stuff.
Thank you for share.

"Frank, unabashed admiration" is my reaction here...

[General M@yhem]

Great cards. Are you able/willing to post a blank master of them?

I am pretty sure these were made with a browser based application that allows you to design Magic the gathering game cards. A pretty smart hack of it I must say.

Well, it isn't browser based - I don't think.  You can find it at magicsourceeditor.net - free download.  Worked great.

I find that a photo of the actual mini with the stats stops most of the "well, which figure is this?" right off the bat.

Great looking table - would love to have a game with you.  Excellent idea with the cards too, must speed up gameplay.
