I have updated the Wargamorium Blog to include last night's game set around Chateau Thierry in 1918 using 20mm IT Miniatures. thewargamorium.wordpress.com Only a few photographs as the game moved very quickly and it was all over after 5 or 6 moves. Casualties by the shovelful. Hope you enjoy

Sorry – the title should of course read 1918. Maybe Bill could amend it for me please?

Nice looking game. Are your rules available?

Thank Big The rules are house rules as I said and are rather basic for the moment covering only rifles, HMGs, mortars and flame throwers. I intend to add more elements as they progress. The next thing to add is off board artillery and tanks. Maybe I will make them available when they are completed.

Oh, I was hoping it was Romans v. Germans or something! Nice pictures on the blog by the way.

Thanks Tgunner. I can see where the title is misleading. It was a typo on my part. I did ask Bill to amend it but he did not see my request. Regards

How do your rules handle artillery? Looks like an interesting game.

The heaviest piece on the table was a minenwerfer so the problem did not arise. However for the next game I am planning to have artillery observers hidden with field telephones calling in some rather inaccurate artillery fire – which could even fall short some times! If the observers are overrun then no more artillery for your side.
