Back to 15mm... Starting out on Tank's the new 15mm Tank's Skirmish game

Image
So it's been far too long since I did any of this blogging stuff. What can I say you start the year with good intentions and then life throws you a curve ball... So game time has escaped me this year.. So to try and fix this problem I decided to pick up Tank's from Gale Force 9/ Battlefront, a 15mm skirmish game likened to xwing. In preparation for a hopeful game of Tank's later this week I decided to build up some card terrain for the 3x3 tabletop required for Tank's.. I shall endeavour to report back on my first thoughts of this new game,I hoping that it fulfills the need for a quick play game that can be fitted in around the life stuff... A test run of the battlefield

New Year Sighted....Back to Team Yankee

Image
So my regular gaming group have decided to go with Team Yankee as the game of the new year starting out at 50pts. I'd already brought quite a few bits and pieces over the last 18months but got distracted as per usual with other projects and a break from gaming. So with the release of Stripes I've decided to re visit my desert themed force, I made progress on the M1A1s (will run as IPM1 for now) earlier in the year but still need to add the finishing touches. However with addition of M60s in Stripes giving the US a MBT option coming in at 4pts a piece with the same gun as the M1 and the addition of the M113 scout units it opens up more options for list building as the IPM1 comes in a 9pts a piece.  So I've decided to start out with a mech infantry force and my initial list is looking like this: Mech Formation M113 HQ 1 Mech Platoon Alpha xtra dragon 7 Mech platoon Bravo xtra dragon 7 M113 Scout (2x2) 4 M901 ITV (2x3) 9 M106 Mortars 3 M60s (x3) ...

Flames of War V4 and some Ram Kangaroo's

Image
I'm back, been too long... So since my last post version 4 of flames of war has hit. It's caused quite a stir in the flames community and after being somewhat unsure of the tabled changes i finally got a copy and am looking forward to exploring v4. After I've managed to play a few more games I'll post back further thoughts. So far though my initial impressions are that v4 encourage​s you to create army lists that are more representative of the force you are looking to represent​. No divisional support choice's count for your company morale anymore so i think we'll all see alot less gear in the rear on a flames tabletop. Another major change is reserves are worked out on a 40% points total of your force now.. it's no longer platoons counts.. Selection of you're force is now massively different to v3, even more so since recon units no longer lift gone to ground and smoke has been limited to one bombardment per battery per game.. As time permits and i g...
