Gaming - 7 Days to the river Rhine - Bridge fight

 We have played a few games over the last few weeks with 7 days. With a lot of game play under the belt , it’s started to show up some of the areas we think need improvement. Mortars and Artillery need a proper system and we will work one out . Another change is that you cannot rally off all the accumulated morale hits , we will always carry one . It’s been a little too points focussed , so will move over to scenario and actual unit battles . Overall happy with the system it gives a decent game just needs a little house rules. Hopefully there will be an updated version 2 in the wings . 

The Soviets race toward the bridge 

 

It was a good excuse to get the extra big bridge completed - this was an e bay purchase of an MDF bridge I found for model railways - it’s a full 2 foot 6 long. 

The Soviets didn’t manage to take the bridge - a little too much focus on a helicopter born assault and not enough ground troops .

We added in using hidden deployment for the NATO Dutch and French units . 

Gerard blown up by Soviet Paras , though the helicopter had been shot down . 

 

Overall some great gaming has been done .

I have a few items to add to my French battlegroup coming up . Some more Gazelles with 20mm cannon and some AA AMX13s . 

Plus there seems to be a good sale price  on a few French boxes , these will arrive in due course . Leclerc tanks and some VABs transport and support unit . 

Gaming - The Soudan

 I have just had a fantastic 4 days of gaming with The League of Extraordinary Kriegspeilers . Steve had organised a campaign system and players and with a combination of collections of troops the Mahdists being mine  and and using Steve’s superb terrain . 5 great battles fought with great spirit and lots of laughter.

Here are just a few pictures - as I was so busy all the time I forgot to take loads . Some are Steve’s.
