Great looking game. I particularly like the grumpy look on the MG loader, 4th picture down.




Can we all agree something? Can we have a moratorium on periods that I don't do, but am likely to get distracted by?

I first came across Tannenberg in 1974 in "Famous Military Battles" by AJ Barker. Bit of an eye opener to the young Nobby, because I knew that WWI was only the Somme and Peter O'Toole with a tea towel on his head. The drawing that still sticks in my head is of a Russian soldier meeting a gruesome death at the wrong end of a flame thrower.

Yes
It is a club rules written to play simply and quickly.
if you prepare scenarios with troop entry times and artillery control, I think it gives a very good result

Well, they always told me that playing this period is very boring. This rules gives a lot of life for being simple and fast and you put the rest.

Thank you - i have downloaded a set.
I have early way 10mm Germans - and I did not want to go down the Western Front option - so this look great stuff and I can now buy some 10mm  WW1 Russians and Austrians  :D
Cheers

Great looking game, and great looking figures.

Would be good to get some photos of the rail gun, as if it is the Pendraken one it looks much better painted up!

From the first picture, it looks like you visited Saumur in the past?

Not too many tanks in WW I Eastern front, but there are the armoured cars ofcourse. Including from Belgium and Great Britain.

And great looking game.  :-bd

Amazing set up! Are the fields and trenches homemade? What does a stand represent?
