Here at PP we intend to run a fair few sessions to introduce PBI to players during 2019.
PBI is a WW2 game wherein the player commands a company of infantry. A very normal job in WW2 fights.
He may or may not have some limited support.
The game is played on a grid of squares. 8 squares by 8 squares (no rulers needed). These introductions will use the current 2015 edition (PBI goes back to 1998).
Most introductions will take the form of 2 platoons attacking 1 platoon in order to learn the all important infantry tactics and methods.
In previous years these introductions have been taken by the RFCM team to a few Historicons, European shows and about 50 appearances at UK shows. This latest round starts at the Entoyment hobby store in Poole, Dorset.
First session Thursday 6th December 6pm onwards (6/6). thanks
martin

I have a gang of kids in our painting class that are just starting gaming. Maybe they should try the game… |
