This weekend saw a meet up of the Old Guard group - there were a few games with people chucking sticks at each other , and I took my WW2 Wings of Glory collection.
Over the course of the day we played 5 games , with a few different scenarios - we were using all the standard rules , which everyone was picking up well.
The final game pitted 3 ME109'S and 2 Stukas , against 2 Spitfires and 2 Hurricanes
 |
| Fighters lead the way |
 |
| My Stukas get bounced , and try to evade the RAF... where are my defending fighter! |
 |
| There was a real swirling dogfight , and a Spitfire went down very early, one of the Hurricane pilots was wounded |
 |
| Ian (ME109) and James (Hurricanes) plot their moves |
 |
| Martin pretends to escort my Stukas .. there will trouble back at base tonight! |
 |
| James with the luckiest Hurricane ever - he kept getting hit , but picked out zero damage chits! but we got him in the very end - just as he downed my Stuka! |
 |
| One of my Stukas was shot down - the other limped home with engine trouble and wounded pilot! |
Great games - and a few people now in search of their own planes .
 |
| I got hime to find a delivery - a Lancaster and ME110 night fighter! |
I have also picked up a nice beach mat from Deepcut studios and started some work on the D Day stuff with a coupe of gun emplacements. The order for 6 Higgins boats, 3 LCMs, and the assault infantry has just turned up .. so plenty in the pipeline to keep me busy.
Yeah, rather annoyed to have missed another Wings of Glory game at Scruton. As I say, I've still not played either of the rules sets. Still, painted up what I needed to for the Salute display, but I'd rather have been there.
ReplyDeleteNow what's not to like about this?! What fabulous fun and I can't wait to see the Lancaster in action. My word the D-Day mat looks amazing too.
ReplyDeleteWho made that amazing aerial combat gaming mat?
ReplyDeleteIs there a pdf of the mat and who can we contact to purchase one? I would like to get this for my game mat.
