Hi
first posting. Here's a battle report on a game we had last weekend.
30+ Brigades per side.
huntersflgs.wordpress.com Homebrew rules.
I wanted something quick and simple where managing the ebb&flow was important. I also wanted to replay each turn in my head and have it fit in with descriptions I've read(and seen in movies too).
I had a good time, in good company. What more can you ask for. My first attempt at inserting a picture in the post was an epic-fail. :) |

A great way to spend a day, thanks for the write up, I enjoyed it very much and also enjoyed seeing your planning stage. I'm not a relaxed enough person to have food / drink near the game table – my loss I am sure. |

Looks like fun, even though I'm not into 6mm. : ) |

A great game and group, it is clear from the write up. I think the only mistake was using Jack Daniels instead of Bulleit, but oh well. GamesPoet, 6mm has its unique place like no other scale. I am a happy convert after years of despising them. Open flanks, naval support and feats of engineering are all so much more convincing in 6mm! I find that the more I love and learn about a period, the more scales I want to play it in, for different purposes. 6mm for grand tactical and operational or horde display on up to 28mm – 54mm for assassination or scouting or sabotage runs! |
