Hi

QuoteLive Free and Die, 10mm AWI wargame. Our first go with these rules - which we enjoyed. But the scenario felt a very hard ask for the attacking British.

I've played most of the 'official' scenarios (some several times) and the British have yet to win one. Now remind me who wrote them.....    

Cheers Paul

We came to the same conclusion, but we still like them!

Three For King & Parliament games at my local Hutt Club.

We used the same terrain and 100-point forces, selected from my Cheriton troops, each time. Three enjoyable and very different games with one Parliamentarian and two Royalist victories. We played for about 5 hours including set up and pack up.

Hi

First game this year, To the Strongest! Ancient Brits v Early Imperial Romans, win for the Brits mainly down to pretty bad dice for the invading Romans!

Cheers Paul

That's an interesting coincidence, last night we made a start on a DBMM Ancient Brits v Early Imperial Romans game.

We'll finish it next weekend as it's still anyone's game, despite the Britians having lost one of their Chariot and Light horse commands. Losing their General in the first round of combat didn't help

This was a fan made scenario - the only one we could find that was small enough for our currently painted troops. 

It felt that the distance the British had to cover vs the time limit really made it difficult for them to just get to grips with the Americans. 

Another Rebels & Patriots game as part of my mini-campaign.

Continuing our 15mm ACW battle last night. We use a control deck to see who activates next, it's a normal pack of cards. The lucky CSA player got 9 reds in a row! So used up all his activation cards, destroying most of a Union brigade in the process. Now I get to play all my activations cards in a row with what's left

Finished the DBMM game last night, someone lost a second Chariot General Ended up a very bloody draw
