North Africa - Gazala May 1942

Had a cracking game yesterday - only a few Pendraken in this pic I fear - just as well since their Vickers MMGs played havoc with Jerry's Infantry. 8th Pz Regt were pretty roughly handled as well. A clear British Victory!

We used BKC2 with a few mods:
1. smaller arty zones as per the optional rules at the back
2. we kept barrages on for a turn and treated them as a -1 cover feature AND anyone who entered them got attacked - a bit like really bad smoke!
3. The kept hits on
4. hits could be removed by a successful command roll, but only one hit per unit per successful roll
5. Recce could communicate with ANY command unit within 60cm as opposed to the nearest one - they do have radios!

ttfn,

Dave

The piccy inserty thingy link to photobucket hasn't worked!

Nicely painted force, I have a lot of respect for anyone who can paint caunter camouflage.

Not my period but looking very good. Nice work. I like the way you have done your desert terrain.

Thank You!

And thanks for the comments. I should have added: we used reduced deviation as well, only 2 d6 regardless of distance, reduced to 1 if the observer was higher than the target.

The "terrain" is simply sand veltrim off ebay. It's car / van lining stuff. It comes as a fabric roll about 4-5mm thick. I simply sprayed lighter sand and earth patches over it. The "hills" are veltrim as well, but might need "thickening up"?

The sand and earth sprays are very effective

Remember that a lot of the 'hills' and 'ridges' in the desert were only tens of feet high so they may not need too much thickening up

[d_Guy]

I agree with Paul, think the hills look proportionally correct.

The painting is really good.

That looks superb - great game

Seconded on leaving the hills, it's representative and it works in play so I wouldn't fiddle

If it was a "true LoS" game where if your model can see it, it can shoot it, then I might...

Thank You!

You're welcome.

The veltrim looks effective.

Well done.
