Last Monday we again revisited The Great Antipodean Adventure campaign and the A World Aflame Osprey rules. In this game Unionist forces try to relieve a detachment of Federal infantry from the 30th Battalion of the 18lb cannon that the All Australia Party and the Anglican League failed to secure during the skirmish on May 20 in Beaconsfield Park…the result was a stunning victory to the regulars, the Federal infantry secure in their fieldworks had no problems dealing with the uncoordinated charges of the Union mobs! They suffered only two casualties compared with 30 plus to the Unionists.
The Battlefield…
A Union Bannerman in full flight…
The Unionist Crossley Armoured Truck was hit by an ATR round, although the hit did not knock it out but the occupants had to bail out, they are seen here behind their 'wheels'…
The Unionists last lunge on the Army's defences…
The full write up is on the TSOG blog… subheadingCanuckinator | 26 Aug 2018 2:09 p.m. PST |
Thanks for the AAR Captain – it made for an interesting read. Tell me: how do you find the "A World Aflame" rules? I've quite enjoyed a number of Osprey's wargaming titles, but I've always been dissuaded of picking up this title by the low review ratings it seems to garnish on most book sellers webstores. |

Hello Canuckinator sorry I only just saw your reply!
My thoughts on the World Aflame Rules is here…

In a nutshell though; they are far from the best set of rules around and they are a bit old school BUT have some nice period features. We use them pretty much from the book with a few small changes streamlined and have a set of rules that suit our needs.
I think Rules are like movies what one person likes another doesn't… |
