We had a bit of a disastrous beach landing FOW game at Metropolitan Wargamers this past weekend. On the plus side, we all learned a lot and the sand table looked great. Check out the AAR and lots of pics on Brooklyn Wargaming here: link

Tough game -- but a great battle report! Cool pics! |

I like the "Sand Table" background/history. Well done. |

I think there's serious issues with the FoW scenario, to be honest. I had the same situation when I played it. Bad rolls to get units up to the beach and the US player is pretty much guaranteed to lose. I'd suggest scripted waves arriving, and then some semi-random movement distance to get onto the beach, much like how the Battlegroup mission plays. Question on the sand tables: are you using spray cans to color the 'grassy' areas? |

The grassy areas were done with sprinklings of green flock and the roads were with dark brown. Good tips on the US arrivals -- the beach is murderous with the FOW rules. |

A really nice looking table. The pictures are interesting as well – very gritty! |
