Well here is my Batrep for the 38FEST15. I used A World Aflame rules, which I found very playable and I particularly like the limited ammunition rules. Great game, great concept.
 |
| The Field of Play |
 |
| No. 1 and 2 Platoons TAB along the Fosse Way |
 |
"CONTACT!"
A platoon of Socialist Militia, plus the lead elements
of an AL Company. |
 |
| "3 Platoon, right flanking to seize Brookfield Farm" |
 |
"No. 1 Platoon. Enemy 100 yards, to your front, three rounds.
Rapid FIRE!" |
 |
The effect of withering, accurate fire!
Two sections wiped out. |
 |
| The third section wins the race to Brookfield Farm |
 |
| No. 2 section left flanks to secure Grange Farm, which has already been taken by 2 platoons of AL. |
 |
Havildar Baljit Kaal, attempts to pin down the militia with one section, whilst attempting
to flank the farm with number two section. |
 |
| SMG fire takes its toll on No. 1 section. |
 |
| Suffering heavy casualties 3 platoon fall back. |
 |
| No. 1 Platoon, engages in a fire fight with the platoons within Grange Farm. |
 |
| The third AL platoon files into Brookfield Farm to support the Militia. |
 |
| No. 3 platoon encounter Havildar Major Amarjot Singh Aulakh |
 |
Who inspires them to re-engage the far.
Preventing them from adding their support to the defenders of Grange Farm |
 |
A vicious firefight, at Grange Farm, decimates No 2 platoon.
Captain Matthew Rosewood bolsters their morale and leads the survivors
to the safety of Bridge Farm. Securing it for the King. |
 |
| Running out of ammo, the Militia's will is broken and they rout. |
 |
A fatal error!
Spurred on by the retreat of 2 Plt LPR. No. 1 Platoon St.John's Company AL give chase. |
 |
Winning the firefight, No. 1 platoon, now led by the Company OC (Maj. Richard Beresford),
assaults Grange Farm. |
 |
The platoon assaults through the farmhouse, finishing off what is left of the defenders
and falls on the remaining AL platoon. Bayonets and butts are the order of the day. |
 |
Not realising that the defenders of Brookfield Farm are broken and cowering.
The Havildar Major withdraws the platoon to the company position. |
 |
After securing the stolen jewels in Grange Farm and with prisoners in tow
Maj. Beresford withdraws the company to barracks. |

Cool looking game, like the figs
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteI need to add flags to the Rifles banners. They are all plastic, HaT Indians and Airfix WW1 French as the AL. I think, the militia are Caesar WW2 Resistance.
Wow what a game you have had there Irqan and I love the fact that you are using plastic Arfix figures as that captures more of VBCW spirits that 28mm do, even though I have 28mm myself.
ReplyDeleteThank you PK. That means a lot to me, I was going for 'old school'. I have a project in my head to do some 'Osprey' style VCBW publications, I'd appreciate your thoughts, My email is in my profile.
Deletenice job Bob, Mini's look great
ReplyDeleteI love the Hat Indian figs, I have my eye on their Colonial Highlanders I do think with some head swaps you can do any thing in 1/72
ReplyDeleteCheers, Shinto. HaT do some good figures, but I do prefer Caesar. I sent you some beers, did you get them? How's the move gone? When's the next youtube? My model builds are sh!t, need some guidance.

DeleteI do like Caesar better myself very crisp sculpts with no flash, but Hat do stuff that no one else does even if they are very slow I'm waiting over a year for their WW1 British to come out.
ReplyDeleteI have moved 2 weeks ago so I will have to go to the old place to check for the beers.
I have the box room as a man cave now so I will try to get a vid up soon.
Crack on mate.
