Some pictures of the battle, played at Owen's place with 15mm figures. The dastardly Huns won on points, because the Eastern bridge refused to blow and those plucky Tommies stayed in position too long for a timely escape....
The Huns (them...)
The Tommies (Us...)
The battlefield, with the village of Nimy in the lower left corner
Belgian refugees flee before the Hunnish hordes. Lovely Taube plane made by Peter Pig and painted by Owen.
The center bridge blows!
Nimy railway bridge standing firm
Eastern bridge unfortunately standing firm as well, after our attempt to demolish it failed spectacularly!
Consequently the Germans stormed and took it...
The end: German reinforcements turn up on the British flank and advance through Nimy, charging the defenders in the flank.
Great report! The pictures look great as well, nice terrain and I do think you get the real feel of urgency from it! You do look silly in that hard-hat JW, your colonial sun helmet suits you better...
ReplyDeleteImpressive head gear! I'm glad to hear you approve of using BP for WW1. I have considered using Bolt Action, but I actually prefer BP so your game provides must justification. Best, Dean
