Gaming - ‘Nam - at The Other Partizan

 Last weekend saw a group trip to The Other Partizan . Martin and I had decided to get the Nam stuff out and give it a showcase . We had a lot of interest in the table and Martin sold some of our rules as well 

We had decided an on armour led column heading to a NVA base village/town . It was a chance to get some unusual kit on the table .

The first RPG shot took out an M48 , good job the wrecker was near by . 

As usual the Skyraider was getting lots of interest 

DiscoDave, Czartank, James , Martin after the Saturday set up .  Next stop was beer and curry 

I am currently offloading various bits to clear some space in the ongoing storage wars so I had a session at the tabletop sale which went well . 

I terms of purchases there was the British Highlanders from Empress for my Back of Beyond force .plus a random modern special forces on  Skidoo - yeah I know - but they looked cool .

I just need a James Bond and his Moll figures now I guess 

With the darker nights , it’s time to get back painting .

Gaming - Back of Beyond , STEA

My gaming group have started a Back of Beyond campaign . This weekend saw the first game around Samarkand . The Bolshoviks were attacked by an alliance of Afghan tribes and rogue Ottoman forces .

Rules are 3rd ed Setting the East Ablaze which played fine 

An eventual victory for the attacking alliance . The Bolshoviks had an epic turn of shooting on turn5 nearly halting the attack . 

The terrain we used was mostly mine . I had built up a new bridge this week as I didn’t have anything suitable . A quick scratch build with some balsa did the job 

 

I have picked up a few 1/48th diecast aircraft.. First up a Bristol Fb2 . It’s straight out of the box , nothing really to do to it . 

I have utilised my existing flight stands from the Nam collection 

It’s certainly a good size 

 

The last little job was some flags 

Some tubing with 2mm diameter , lead weight base with milliput to attach the tubing . Home printed flags onto 1mm wire so they can be changed as and when as part of the games.

Anyway that’s us got the campaign moving more to follow in due course .
