Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

How was the BKC experience?

Love it. :-bd

Works for me as I play Warmaster so quite easy to pick up. ;)

Pierre the Shy was commanding the British who were withdrawing towards Dunkirk. They turned to delay the beastly Hun and promptly knocked the blighters for six ;)

Peter ambushed my advancing Germans and knocked out almost all my armour (5 tanks and 2 armoured cars) losing one armoured car, a cruiser and a company of infantry in exchange :-[

An enjoyable game none the less ;)

Think the dice gods were on my side for this one :)

My infantry ambushes held up the Germans while two crusier
tanks and 25pdr did the damage. As Paul observed a good. set of rules
for that size game. Great game. :)

Pete's army was stacked with warriors so had the potential to rip me to pieces. I tied up two pike blocks and four units of warriors with my Determined Horse, and killed one warrior unit and Pete's artillery on my right flank.

However, on the left, Pete's cavalry (absolutely average horse) managed I one turn to flank and kill my matching cavalry, kill a general, disrupting my superior pike and fragmented an average pike unit as a response to these events.
He then charged and destroyed both these units. My

Killing another general on the way, and knackering another three units! My average morale throw on that flank was 4 on2d6!
I lost half my army and broke. Pete had lost two BGs, had two fragmented units, and two other units one stand off auto breaking, so not quite a whitewash!
Great game, well deserved win for Pete!
