7 Days to the River Rhine -first game

At a very busy Sheffield wargames society last night we tried out these new rules from Great Escape ,they played well and we had to consult the rule book rearely after turn one .I fielded a mixed British and West German force and John brought the Russian masses .We didnt finish the game a very late start for us and as I said the club was busy so lots of people asking questions and saying hello but we did find out APC,s and the like died very easily but niether of us managed to kill an MBT only causing morale markers ,overall  a nice simple game we have already decided to change a couple of bits but the rules are written in a way that will easily allow the players to add anything without too much trouble

The table set up ready to play

Deutschland 83

I purhased some cold war Bundeswehr figures about 2 years ago from Elheim  and after watching the C4 drama Deutschland 83 and then a request by Tim Gow to borrow some of my cold war toys I was spurred on to get them painted ,not a complete wargames unit I still need a command group and a couple of Milans plus marders or M113s depending on year Im playing but a nice start I am sure they will stand side by side with my Brits

.A couple of pics below but i will take some better ones later .
