Good to see some more work on this, Paul

Anything special planned here for Anzac Day?

This weekend we are finishing off a Poland 1939 game

Next weekend we will be playing another of Pierre the Shy's ANZAC What if Scenarios, this time looking at a possible attack north of Suvla Bay

This weekend we are finishing off a Poland 1939 game

Next weekend we will be playing another of Pierre the Shy's ANZAC What if Scenarios, this time looking at a possible attack north of Suvla Bay

Last year we played a couple of what if gamesaround the supposition that the ANZAC Corps landed on the flatter terrian around Suvla Bay. That involved the ANZAC covering force from Australian 3rd Brigade. This time its the Kiwis turn to land to the north of the salt lake and advance inland. I'm going to play the Ottoman defenders so the others don't know precisely what they're facing...only that some defences have been spotted by eariler aerial recce.

Good excuse to finish off my Indian mountain battery.

Just to interrupt an excellent thread. Does anyone have the Western Front supplement for ITLSU that the ladies did for free?

Hello Fenton

Just to interrupt an excellent thread. Does anyone have the Western Front supplement for ITLSU that the ladies did for free?

Only one I know about is Storm of Blood which appeared in the Summer 2011 Special and is repeated in the Play the Game Compendium, neither free unfortunately. This was for trench warfare.

Cheers

Pierre the Shy has that supplement and as we play the early period on the western front we haven't really had a need for it

[Leman]

The Storm of Blood Supplement does have some charts for 1914 Western Front troops, but you are probably better referring back to earlier posts on the ITLSU 1914 thread.

As Paul has mentioned I did get Storm of Blood as well as ITLSU PDF's from Richard Clarke but its more about trench warfare than 1914 stuff so not used it much.

There is a good conversion table that someone did for 1914 French/Germans and British troops that is posted in the files section of the TFL Yahoo group that I use to classify units in the games we play - is that of any use to you Fenton?
