Featured Mini 1

Introducing a new event on this blog - the Featured Miniature(s)
I was going to make it Mini of the Day, or perhaps
Mini of the Week, but I doubt I will be so punctual.
After all, this is supposed to be fun...right?
So, off we go-->
Featured miniature #1
GHQ T-34/43 tanks on a 2x2" base
Hoping to use them for Blitzkrieg Commander rules.

Merry Christmas to the Table-Top Gaming Society and all wargamers (and all you regular people) everywhere!
Don't forget those who sacrificed so we can be where we are.  Raise a glass to 'em!

Lion Rampant Big Battle

 On Saturday the club put on a "Big Battle" version of Lion Rampant.  3 players per side.  Each team rolled an average die for the total number of activation failures that were allowed before the turn was over.  As you can probably figure out, this led to much discussion about who was letting down the side!

Here is a mix of Perry's, Fire Forge, and Games Workshop figures.

 New Mike brought some fantastic Old school Citadel figures from way back when.....

While the Warhammer Empire Flagellants standing in as fierce foot, received the absolution they desired.... as they were all brutally killed.

The B'ha Loni Campaign - first battles

We have been at this thing for 4 turns now and this was the initial battle.  It took place between the US and the Ottomans at the disputed mine in hex 30.03 way to the north.  The US got there first with a few units and claimed it.  The Ottomans felt it was on their territory and came to take it back.  After a week siege, where there was much beheading of prisoners and hurling of pork products, the Americans had a chance to send a relief column.  The rules we used were Fields of Honor on company level.

 

 

 

 



In the end, the relief column was repulsed and the remaining US defenders held out grimly.  No prisoners were taken.  Needless to say, a state of war now exists between the US and the Ottomans, spanning the northernmost reaches of B'ha Loni.
