Last night we had a 100% turnout for this fascinating game.Presenting a solo concept into a club concept was always going to be difficult,in that when I play my rules I can easily and quickly make a decision as to what I want doing-in a club game you can't do that,and a couple of anomalies reared up,and I must say were solved to everyone's satisfaction and the game proceeded at a lively pace after that-well done to us all.
Battle plan writing before any movement-very important in our games-looks like they are taking it very seriously!
Top photo shows Malcolm's attack on my troops in the town-very impressive,bottom photo shows Dave's attack on Brian's position in the farm-even more impressive!!-notice lack of red"pom-poms" so far-this will change as casualties mount!!
In the centre,Graham is positioning his troops to protect our flanks,and trying to lure Paul's troops across the creek-one or two "pom-poms" appearing!
Top photo shows Malcolm's troops continuing their assault on the town,and on the left,he has broken into my position,causing a re-shifting of reserves to block the ugly hole!!-Bottom photo shows Dave making in-roads into Brian's position-note an awful lot of the dreaded "pom-poms"-things were really hotting up at this stage,but neither side had an advantage-great stuff!!
Central position stabilised!Paul(well out of character) seems reluctant to cross the creek but is doing sterling work with his artillery batteries and inflicting alot of casualties(pom-poms!) on Graham's troops.
Malcolm is still "knocking at the door" to the town,but is facing an up-hill battle-although he is giving my trops a hard time of it!!-at this stage we counted up units lost,and we found that the Rebs had lost 19 against the Union's 18-too close to call so we said a draw was the right result!
A very good game,well fought by both sides-roll on next week,a WW2 game was mentioned(Poles,Russians and Germans) so we'll try and sort something out!
