My club played the first game in our new campaign, set in a fictional European setting… Was great fun, and I got to use my SAS figures at last! Terrain was all by the guy running the campaign, as was a load of the kit, but everyone contributed some bits and pieces. Nice that everyone got to use some of their toys! link |

fantastic looking terrain and minis – wish i had the same set up to play on. Couldnt see any of the SAS figures you got to use though, or are they hidden in the midst of other figures? |

That looks a pretty fun game. Some nice models and terrain too. What scale is it in? |

They are there somewhere! They didnt arrive till near the end of the game and I think the umpire was bored of taking pics by then! :) |

Its all 20mm. Most of the figures are Liberation… I couldnt tell you what make the vehicles are Im afraid. |

Wonderful… I think that osme of the US vehicles come from Dragon armor, the ruskies tanks are from Revell and I think the BMP from a resin ma nufacturers that I forgot… and the SNA Patton is from ESCI (now Italeri). Ok these are ocnclusion coming from photo interpetation. What rules have you used? |

Rules… Not sure… I think they were a Rapid Fire variant. Good though… Gave a nice fast paced game for the evening. |

Interesting, I just bought Rapid Fire for WW2 gaming this weekend*, would be very interested in a modern version. Nice looking game.
*and a drink leaked over the book on the way home possibly ruining it :-(

Nice, very inspirational. Let me recomend the book "God's Children" by Coyle if you want some fictional what if along these lines. It doesn't involve Russians, but it is a "what if?" for the Balkans. BTW, as an interesting aside fact, the M1A1 Abrams model you are using is a model of the 1-1 CAV A-Troop (Apache) 2nd platoon tank (Tank A21 – the platoon leader's tank and the name on the barrel is Abbaddon) that was used as part of IFOR (Implementation Force) from Dec '95 – Nov '96 in the real Bosnia for peacekeeping. Just thought it was a fun fact. Ed G. |
