We played a test game of the new WW2 set of rules I'm working on, titled "'39-'45". These are a low level game, with each 3 stand infantry unit representing a squad, each vehicle 1-2 real vehicles, each weapon 1-2 weapons. The game had 2 companies of US infantry vs. 2 companies of German infantry, with a platoon of 3 tank models per side. I know, I know - not very imaginative. But, I wanted the game to allow both sides to both attack and defend and it WAS a test game after all.
I'm pretty happy with the rules - they play fast and seem to reward good tactical decisions. This was a pretty big game - around 23 units per side, and it was played to a decisive conclusion in 3 hours of play time.

Interesting as ever. Love the terrain
ReplyDeleteThanks - I think I used all of my hedges in this game!
DeleteGreat looking game. This is about the level of WW2 that I like!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back, Brent. Thought you had given up the ghost. I had my shoulder operated on in April. Worked a treat. Hope your wife's knee op was equally successful.

Nice set up! Once again I must say that I love your thick bases. Easy to handle I imagine and each one a nice display piece.

Thanks - I know it's all personal preference, but MY preference is thick bases. I like the look and feel of how it brings the troops free of the terrain as a game piece. Some like thin bases, some like thick bases......
