A couple of good games played - as we got to grips with the various rules.
I am working on some magnetic boards in lieu of the more complex and expensive control console available. I also need to do more colour coding of the card decks for when playing with multiple aircraft - I will get these done for our games next month.
Dave this looks really interesting, I've no knowledge of the BofB game having only played WWl, do you mind me asking what are you using for the campaign layout, scenarios, outcome and advancement?
ReplyDeleteThe magnetic board is a good starter idea, presumably you have damage cards the same as WWl, I made some 18mm sq chits for damage tokens to reduce the space required on the control console, if I'd seen this 3 weeks ago I would have mounted then on magnetic strips cut up so they would adhere to the board.
Great looking mat as well, they are the best commercial ones I've seen to date.
There is loads of good campaign stuff on little wars , with campaign rules, scenarios and other bits

The WW2 game uses damage chits that are about 20mm square rather than cards
Dave thanks for the link, I've not come across the site before, there's some interesting stuff on it.
DeleteI'm taking part in the Over The Trenches Solo Campaign on the Aerodrome site, the new campaign started this month.
I also would like to get some more gaming in this year. Lovely looking games. What make is the mat? I‘m thinking about getting me one for a while now... despite having no toys to play on.
