Scooby Doo and the Monsters

I  am still not a 100% health wise so not been doing much but I aahd promised my Grandkids a game involving Scooby Doo , so I put a small game of Pulp Alley on for them whilst they have moved in with us . A great game that we all enjoyed and using the horror rules made it even better for them ,with some very appropriate cards being drawn ,Scooby and Shaggy moved from building to building stumbling over the plot points whilst the rest of the gang took on the bad guys .A slim victory for the Monsters though .Figures of the gang by Hasslefree ,mystery machine is a corgi diecast .Dracula and the brides arebad squiiddo ,the other monsters are miniatures I have had years ,I think the Creature is a Black tree not sure about the Werewolf, map bools by Loke Battle Mats

The Gangs all here

And the bad guys tonight are...

He said I only married them all because `i thought it was big of me (bygamy get it :-) )

Battle of the Bulge -rules of Engagement style

A ROE scenario based in the Ardennes was played last night at the club , a vicious little battle using the Hold the Line Scenrio ,the US troops managed to stay hidden which meant the Germans had to advance almost to my lines before they could engage us , lots of firing then took place my medic performed some sterling work and my LMG made mincemeat of a Brave german unit which made a dash for my HQ . The Germans looked the likely winners until a round of bad saving rolls took them to their breakpoint when victory was in their grasp ,another cracking game ,my next army to get out and complete will be my late war US Airborne  "Currahee"...   Figures as usual a mix of warlord and artizan ,panther is a corgi die cast and trucks from any scale mat by Urbanmatz

The baattlefield from the US perspective

The Germans advance and a us off table artillery shell lands 

The US HQ group and a LMG come out of hiding 

A panther creeps into view to be annoyed but not damaged by abrave Bazooka team 

The US start to take hits....

...but a gallent medic , the US commander and some decent dice rolls keep casualties  down 

so close yet so near this turn the germans came close to my HQ  but horrendous casualties broke them snatching defeat from the jaws of victory .

The first bits and peices of 2019

A busy day painting , building and basing on the 1st day of the year gave me a  nice amount of wargaming goodness for at game at the club tonight ,again rules of engagement but this time the snow covered fields of Europe and the U.S infantry fighting those evil Nazis trying a sneak attack .Thought a Battle of the Bulge type scenario would be fun as at this time of year we always promise to take part in the battle of the belly bulge .My main infantry section was shown in my last post but much to my surprise (and hopefully my opponents ) I managed to build and paint 2 American vehicles a M10 and M8 ,I did both in a winter whitewash finish which I am quite chuffed with as its my first attempt at such a finish , the models were ok to build especially the M8 which was italeri it only took 30 mins to build, the M10 is warlord and as usual came with no instructions so had to trawl the internet to find some . I have also built and based a few plastic ruins from warlord games ,put them on pretty non descript bases ,hopefully representing burnt ground so they can pop up around the world in different time periods I have added little bits of rubble etc to the bases but not enough to stop figures being placed, also based a few winter trees I bought cheap on evil bay and finally 2 markers for Rules of Engagement to show how many hits the unit takes as the hits effect morale rather than the casualties so causing 10 hits but not actually killing anyone is devastating , the chaps on these are Blacktree designs , you dont need many as these as the effects are worked out at the end of each turn then the markers are removed .

Bolt Action & Battlegroup Tobruk & Sharps practice updates

Done abit of painting recently and a mixed bag of stuff it is ,bits for 3 different rule sets .
