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.

CoC game.

Dad's Army in action.
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 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.

The Local Defence Volunteers.
With a couple of Dad's Army type games coming up I have finally finished off the Warlord Games Dad's Army figures. The figures of them in uniform were finished mid way through last year.
Anyway, here they are in their civilian clothes along with their LDV armbands.
