A title from the Lee Brimmicombe-Wood stable, this one authored by Terry Simmo, this adaptation of the usual game engine seen in Downtown, Elusive Victory and Red Storm is set in 1917 from March to May around the trenches of Arras.
I spent the evening sorting out the counters which had spilt in the bag on the journey. There are a LOT of counters.
Then I set up the map. It's not too big, but is covered in small numbered hexes and is very detailed.
Then the first big mistake. I chose to set up for Scenario 1. This has a HUGE number of aircraft units to fly and I quickly realised that I didn't have time to even set this scenario up in the time available. Also I had only a limited idea of what to do once I had got it set up. I decided to do some more reading and perhaps watch a few videos.
Still took ages to pack it all away.
Story to be continued.
15mm Italian Wars action from yesterday evening. Sad to report a Hapsburg victory for Mr. Collyer, ably assisted by Mr. Cornes & my appalling dice rolling. Good fun. Many thanks to Andrew for supplying the armies.
Pics below the fold. Comments welcomed.
Monday night Lion Rampant game v Tim Corbett. His 100yw against my Spanish Moslem. I had to get 1/2 my army off the opposite corner. I failed marginally I got 13 pts away but needed 15pts.
Cracking days gaming of 3rd Ed. 40K and my first outing of my new Tyranid horde.Scenario 76 - Tigers roam Africa : Djedeida, Tunisia, 28th November 1942
Situation - On 23rd November 1942, the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion, The Stalking Tigers, arrived in Tunisia. Initially consisting of only 3 Tigers and 4 supporting PzKpfw IIIN tanks, the force was organised, along with other units, into Kampfgruppe Lueder and began operating almost immediately in the area of Djedeida-Tebourba.
On November 28, Kampfgruppe Leuder repulsed a heavy attack by Blade Force, a Battlegroup comprised of elements from British 6th Armoured and 78th Infantry Divisions, supported by several American units.
Kampfgruppe Leuder was disbanded on December 4, after capturing Tebourba, losing all their Tigers in the process.
