We had an small outing this Sunday night. We had no scenario planned. I
set up the terrain in advance and I wanted to use my new Warlord games
Ruined Hamlet buildings. This is a really nice kit, for some reason I
got a urge to break out my Band of Brothers DVD's and get into 28mm WW2
skirmish gaming :P
A friend at the club just bought some cobblestone roads from the
"Battlefield in a box" series for Flames of War. If you need cobblestone
roads look no further, usable for 15mm to 28mm miniatures. Looks great
and made in a damn near indestructible material.
So this became an "attack the British holding the town scenario". We played
on a small 4x6' board, I with three brigades and my opponent with only
two. With so small forces a failed break test can really make or break
the game. Which is just what happened, I rolled a few good break/morale tests
initially then Erik rolled one really bad which sent his cavalry brigade
off the table in mass panic. He surrendered that turn.We came to the conclusion that we should really play on bigger tables, that we want to play with all of our toys just for once, and in that case we need more players.
So our ambition is to set up a game with our entire collection on a 6x12' or even 6x16' tale with at least two players aside.
superbe décors sur la table de jeu très belle mise en scène. A bientôt en espérant voir des photos de figurine sur cette très belle table. A plus Christian
ReplyDeleteYeap exactly what lesfoudresdelaigle said. (except in English.)
ReplyDeleteA very pretty looking game!
ReplyDeleteWhat material are the Battlefield roads made of, please? and are the ploughed fileds from the same source?
Cheers, Simon

ReplyDeletevery nice.

Thanks for your kind comments. The roads are made in some form of tough rubber. I made the fields myself from corrugated cardboard, they do look a lot like the fields in the Battlefield in a box range.

Thanks- I might well buy myself some of those roads! Your fields are very effective.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Simon
Good stuff all around and sweet roads too, eventho cobblestone was rare at the time and usually only seen in urban areas.
ReplyDeleteBut hey it does look alright =)
I know Schrumpfkopf. I imagine the ruins is just the outskirts of a town, and that kind of verifies the cobblestone ;)
