"6mm FJ on the Neva game played with remote viewing" Topic

I ran this I Ain't Been Shot Mum game with the idea that several friends could have some involvement in a game during the Covid-19 pandemic. Loads of pics in the flickr set because I was texting the game out to 6 people. I sent pregame info out to 2 groups of 3. Team Komrade Kovid as the Russians and Team von Wujan for the Fallshirmjagers. I sent the unit rosters out to the 2 teams and they decided who would 'run' what. German defenders on Team von Wujan could place wire and MG bunkers and decide where they wanted units based on the pics I texted. Russian attackers (Team Kovid) divvied up their units and decided how they would enter the board. At this point it would become more dependent on what I did since I was the card puller and dice roller. Piccies would be texted out, sometimes to specific teams and sometimes to all players informing them of developments and asking how they wanted to react. I then had to interpret that and combined with the normal friction of an IABSM game, their wishes would be fulfilled somewhat less than desirable. Overall the idea was to connect with friends and have a diversion during these days of social distancing. It ain't perfect, but was something. This scenario was to depict one of the numerous Russian attacks on the III/Rgt 3 in November 41 on their lines on the Neva River outside Leningrad.

Cool. "It aint perfect but it's something" words to live by, just DO something, perfect it later.

The terrain and miniatures certainly are perfect!

Terrain has great historical flavor.

Looks great !!!

Great table! Some online friends and I (most of us never met each other) used to play 20mm WW2 campaigns by similar methods. A few of you may remember some of the battle reports. Unfortunately the fellow who hosted those games on his server suddenly dropped out and has not been heard from since.
