Mons

[Belisarius]

Last night our group had a Great War game based loosely on Mons . Using 28mm figures and terrain from the collection of Chris Caves , with Warhammer rules. the Huns managed to cross the canal in three places and force the Tommies to start a long retreat.

I,ve posted this under the wrong heading , it should be Great War , my apologies gentlemen.

Looks like a fun game,love the slag heaps at the back of one of the pics,common in that area at that time I believe. 

[Anna Elizabeth]

That is AWE-sum! I'd love to fight on that terrain, especially the bridges.

Well spotted Romack, that's what they were slag heaps. There were lovely little vignettes dotted around the table. Thanks for the comments ,Elizabeth , it was a pleasure to play , we had 2 British v 3 German players and Chris took the role of umpire and scenario generator .

I need some of those Great War British, the caissons and such.

Call me 'Anna', please. 'Elizabeth' is my middle name. XD

[Belisarius]

Sorry Anna as you can see the gremlins are plaguing me tonight.

[Anna Elizabeth]

No worries my friend. These are certainly lovely photos. I'd like to get more suitable terrain.

[Belisarius]

The last three pics ,folks.

[Anna Elizabeth]

So cool! I love the little vignettes, the signaler, and it looks like those RA Boys are about to get some close work!

Great photos.
Early WWI is very interesting.
I like all the little extra vignettes.
Love them.

Another vote for the slag heaps.  Mons is fascinating for terrain modelling!

Is it just me, or am I getting vertigo looking at some of those pics?

Contrary to popular belief, I am not posting from Australia ( down under ,that is )

During the game, the umpire thought it amusing to fly an aeroplane over the field which proceeded to throw 2 hand grenades per turn whilst the Boche took pot shots at it.

Nice! Does the artillery piece have ANZAC crew?
