Title: Next Nik Batrep
Post by: nikharwood on 24 July 2010, 10:42:18 PM
Right - what would you like to see for my next batrep here?  Let me know...I'll run this poll for a week & then go with the majority vote [I'm such a crowd-pleaser  ;)]  ;D

Oh - and it'd be good to see more batreps with your Pendraken armies too BTW!

Hi Stuart,
Nik, Kiwidave and myself will be putting on a demo game of SCW at Colours in September if you can make it. Fingers crossed it should look good and be fun to play.

That's not fair on the Aliens  ;D

I should note here:
SCW / WW2 would be using BKCII
Moderns = Cold War Commander
Sci-fi = Future War Commander
ECW = RenaissanceMaster
Napoleonics / ACW = Black Powder

Seems like the one sample in the BKC II rulebook wasn't enough! We want more SCW! With T26's please!  :P

We'll be releasing the 1933 model of the T26 next month, for the SCW.

Hmm...can see some of those being needed for the Colours SCW game  8)

I'll run this poll until Saturday night: I still need to fight what I've got set up at moment [Modern British Civil War c1987] & then I'll get to this - whatever wins  ;D

I think a lot of people don't check the Batreps board much!  Could maybe do with putting something in the General Discussion area as well next time.

What's the matter with them? Call themselves wargamers & don't check the Batreps section??!

Coolio - but for now, looks like SCW.

OK - give me a couple days to fight out a Modern British Civil War [10mm, some Pendraken, mostly MF & Dragon etc] and then I'll get a nice SCW scrap set-up  8)

Post by: nikharwood on 02 August 2010, 09:48:11 PM
Right - managed to get my Modern British Civil War [c1987] fought out yesterday - batrep in progress...

This means I can get my SCW batrep set up at some point this week... 8)

I haven't got to your order yet, so I'll pop a sample of them in for you.

In an absolutely shocking display of ignore-the-voter-democracy I've unilaterally / fascistically decided that I'm, in fact, not going to go with SCW - mainly because this is what myself, Kiwidave & SteveJ (along with Gun-Pit Paul - he's not on this forum I don't think but that's OK cos he's an ex-squaddie, swears a lot & loves 6mm - but we forgive him  ;)) are putting on at Colours in September...

...so what I've actually done is to prepare a nice little scrap: what we've got (on a smallish table) is German SS sleeping in a farm about to get a surprise courtesy of some D-Day US Paras - again, I'll have to get the camera sorted before I can fight it though...but to be honest it's about-bloody-time those US Paras got into action!

Hoping to bung dice at this one tomorrow / Saturday- by which time I'm sure I'll have the camera sorted too..! Watch for the batrep  8)

The hold-up on the US Para v SS one is that half of the terrain went to Colours for the SCW game & I've not managed to pick it up from Gun-Pit Paul yet! I'll either have to delay until I can do that, or rearrange the landscape! [or, of course, fight something else entirely  :-\]
