One man and his brushes.: Gaming - 7 Days to the Rhine

Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

Gaming - 7 Days to the Rhine

Today saw a first run out test game of 7DTTR . We had French versus East German . A basic table set up with buildings , woods , roads etc , and we just worked through the basic mechanics of initiative, reactions and shooting . It played pretty well . We have various referrals to the rule book and errata , but came through it ok.

While the East German vehicles were knocked out fairly quickly the infantry was harder to deal with .in the end the French infantry was overwhelmed and bugged out .

So main thing to do is sort out some proper road sections and bases for the buildings. Looking forward to another game.
