Rare game at the club last night. Think its about six weeks before I can get there again :o

1. The Sword and the Flame - Sudan
2. British and Egyptians v Fuzzies et al
3. First time I have played the rules and they were a reall hoot!
4. 2 player game. I can imagine multi-player being loads of fun

I was playing British and had to advance down the length of the table to rescue a captured officer dispatching the hordes en-route.

Result was a draw. The natives were well and truly dispatched, quite a few of them at point of bayonet, but my progress down to the objective was painfully slow due to some poor dice rolling movement wise and some canny ambush placement by my opponent.

Great game can see me playing lots of this, but for now I will play with Nicks figures rather than investing in yet another period!

1. Bolt Action
2. Spanish Civil War - Bando Nacionale v Workers Militia (with some EPR Support)
3. Yes. Like BA for solo play
4. Solo

Clear victory for the Bando Nacionale 7 points to 4. Playing envelopment scenario where one side has to reach the enemy deployment zone or exit the table. Two bridges were the only means of the Bando Nacionale reaching the deployment zone.

The republicans barricaded one bridge and barricaded the exit roads from the village. The Bando Nacionale's made good progress early on as the Republicans failed to bring on their off table reserves and quickly made it to the furthest away of the bridges whilst refusing the other flank. The EPR put up a stiff resistance beating off a close assault before succumbing to superior numbers and firepower. The Nacionale light mortar team destroyed the single anti-tank gun crew leaving the path clear for a marauding PzI to mop up some late arriving Republican Militia.

A late dash over the bridge saw the Nacionale's get two units into the deployment area to seal the victory.

The Facists killed the Comissar, one unit of Militia and the EPR Platoon and had two units in the Republican deployment area. The Republicans managed to destroy a squad of Bando Nacionale and a supporting HMG unit.

Ooh! Nice one Lemmy. I love X-Wing.  Shame you didn't take pictures.

Last night for me:

1. L'Art de la Guerre
2.  Republican Rome v Pyrrhic
3.  No.  We're still working on them, and things were a little faltering.
4.  Second or third game.
5.  4 player.

They're an odd sort of 'post-DBM' ruleset, that for us last night seemed to be a 'line up and fight' sort of thing.   Combat factors were a bit fiddly.   But otherwise, fairly playable.

Such a great game,Shamewe don't play it that often (someone in the group doesn't like it)

I have the rebel transport but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

I stopped buying though, as my bank account couldn't take it anymore! (actually i only buy ships that were in the original trilogy, and never multiples of ships like slave 1,vaders tie and the falcon, but i still have to get me a corvette! Shame it's so expensive!)
