Sometimes a game turns on a scab shot. |

What are the odds of coming across a Berber with a truck licence:)
Sounds like a sharp skirmish. |

Nice! I looked in expecting a French skirmish, but no, Spanish! Didn't pay enough attention to the initial post. Quelle surprise! |

79th Yeah, the luck overall was bad to moderate on the activations for both sides but both sides got in a lucky shot taking out leaders. Korsun0, not sure he was licensed but a good dice roll left him with the ability to to operate the truck. We do need to check his insurance card. pipper909, understand, I will have some French later on in my Rif War scenarios, I have the figs and even an FT-17 to add to the mix. Just getting into the era for gaming so I wanted to start with the Spanish. |

The Spanish used the FT17 as well….. |

What mat were y'all using?
Was the mat laid over some things to get that hill effect?
Great AAR. |

Korsun0, yes they did. So my FT-17 will do double duty for Rif war scenarios. Thedrake, it is a cigar box desert mat with so pink insulation foam underneath. I reused my foam pieces from my pirate 🏴☠️ island 🏝️ game of a few weeks ago which was also a cigar box mat. |
