Yet another 20mm French civilian vehicle

This 20mm kit is from Trumpeter, painted in civvy colours for use in a WW2 partisan scenario. Not built a Trumpeter kit before, they go together well, lots of detail, and not too many parts (tracks and wheels are pre-formed).

Another 20mm French Partisan vehicle

 This is another Hasegawa kit and all I've done is add the barrels.

15mm BattleGroup WW2 encounter game

British and German forces, equally matched, clash at a village with a railway station.

Both sides pushed right up to the railway line with infantry (in fact the Germans got across for a short time), whilst leaving the armour a little further back to fire at each other at longer range.

Result was a British victory, losing one Sherman at a cost of 5 points (pulled from Norm's sweaty-sock token-holder) to the Germans losing two Pz4's, a Marder, a half-track, and one or two sections of infantry, at a cost of 19 points. 

Highlights: 

• Considering the four players (Germans were Adrian and Norman, British were Ray and Guy) weren't totally au-fait with the rules, it clicked along at a fair old pace. It appears we have two different versions of the rules in use too.
• The lone Sherman was lost to a panzerfaust, these infantry weapons are everywhere and deadly.
• The Marder was picked off at long-range by a Churchill of all tanks, armed with an old 75mm pea-shooter.
• The Pz4's were lost to medium-range fire from a Sherman and a Churchill.
• On balance, the British threw luckier dice.

Thanks to Norman for organising the whole game.

A very quiet night at the Club, only this one game being played.

20mm Battle Group encounter game

 A few shots from the BattleGroup game on Monday 29th June 2021.

In the early stages this looked like an easy British victory with three German AFV's being taken out in quick succession, but lady luck changed sides and the evening ended with a German victory.

A few pictures of our Battlegroup games

Just a quick update and a few pictures of our Battlegroup games that we've been running over the last couple of weeks. The OOB were drawn from the Battlegroup Kursk book and played with 15mm figures. All the games have been very enjoyable and generally close run affairs (in spite of my dice rolling!)
