Howdy,
A few photos from my game at Barrage in Harve de Grace, MD last weekend. Game In the Stans for four players using the modern mod for So Convenient for Hewing. Good fun.
A National Army outpost is being attacked by Muffintop forces. A blue force platoon is tasked to bring succor to the beleaguered outpost, and that's our game. The Blue Commander sent two squads overland, and a choose to airmobile a third squad. NA forces were deployed on the table with blinds used for the Blue troopers and for the Muffintops.

Photo 2 – Opposite side of the table, again blinds in position
Photo 3 – National Army outpost, occupied entrenchments shown
Photo 4 – Muffintop fire has driven frontline troops from their position, and they advance across the open ground
Photo 5 – Blue force recon trooper advances (I like this photo). SGT Tarsus would later be killed by a Muffintop MG.
Photo 6 – Muffintop squad driven back by NA fire, morale broken (the green marker)
Photo 7 – A second Muffintop squad advances
Photo 8 – … and is driven back by NA fire

I got involved with running the game, and did not take more pictures. The NA outpost held out, and the advancing Blue forces were doing an excellent job of clearing their advance. In the end, the Muffintops had 60 percent of their forces routed or in bad morale, while the NA outpost has half-a-dozen wounded or killed. The Blue force lost only took losses in the recon section (SGT Tarsus).
I think folks enjoyed the game. I was pleased with the look of the table-top.
Ponder on,
