The Rescue mission

This is yet another game we played at some piont over the last year or so.

A sub was dropped off a couple of groups of troops along the English coast to rescue a captured agent.

They had to meet up with a German spy who would be able to inform them where the agent was being held.

After having collected the agent all the Germans had to do was get back to the sub and off back home.

However the Home Guard had other ideas.

We used Rugged adventure rules for this game.

CoC game.

I found the photos for a number of our games that were played in the last year or two still on the camera. This one was played last year I think.

It involved German Paras dropping on British soil to gain control of some supplies ahead of the invasion.

Chain of Command, Early German Paras verses The Home Guard. The scenario was based on an article in one of the TFL magazines.

The other week we had a wee practice game for the up coming Southern Strategists game on the following Wednesday night.
Basically a run through of the rules, Rugged Adventures, and a trial run of the table set up.

More or less the same game as we played about 6 months ago.

The photos here are of the trial game. The real game photos and report are on the Southern Strategists blog here.

The aircrew prepare to leave.

The basic scenario was the same for all three games.

The Germans start with two groups in separate parts of the table. A group from the aircraft and a group of paratroops that have been dropped in to help them out. These two groups can meet up and then re- sort themselves into several groups as they see fit.

For the British, they start in three groups. Two groups of Home Guard and a group of police.

Head on over to the Southern Strategists blog for the real battle.

Don't panic, don't panic!

Just a few photos of a recent Friday night game.

It involved the Home Guard, the local police force, the crew from a shot down German bomber, a highly trained unit of German Para's and a very unhappy German General.

I can't reveal too much as we intend to do this game again with the Southern Strategists.
However it was a very close and enjoyable game that came right down to the very last turn and in fact the very last shot of the game.

Finished painting the Verger, from the Dad's Army, set in time for the game.

Hodges on the lookout.

All quiet, for now.

The plane crew head for cover.

The police want in on the action.

I think there is something in the rules about using cows as cover.

Some of the Para's trying to get to safety.

A shoot out going here.

The lovely Para's are from Brad's collection and the police and some civilians are from Geoff's collection.
