Battle of Prokhorovka (well part of it anyhow!)

Date February 12, 2010

Below are images from the glorious Russian victory at Prokhorovka. A game played using Flames of War rules, some 15,500 points of Soviets (mostly conscripts!) vs 10,100 points of Veteran germans. We managed to get 9 turns in playing from around 9.15am through to 4pm – with about a 40min stop for lunch – so a very decent number of turns and a clear victory for the Russians.

OK – we did’nt kill a single Tiger (and had very little that could kill one!) – and they only had 6 – but by turn 9 they did not have much left other than the tigers and all three objectives in their half were being contested…

Players:
Soviets: Andy, Steve, Peter
Germans: Phil, Paul, Vince

regards
Andy

Flames of War “Fall Gelb”

Date January 20, 2010

In April I intend to run a historical based scenario campaign.

FALL GELB

The  German Invasion of Low Land Europe.

I am after participants to be prepared to field “poorly powered, armoured and gunned” tanks and pit their brave foot sloggers in an all out war to defend/conquer France, Belgium and Holland.

I have a hardy band of men already risen to the call with troops and tanks in excess of the participants.

So if you are a member of the club and fancy joining us in a refight then let me know and I’ll get the ball rolling.

 

Cheers

Charity Dice Roll-Off 20th January

Date January 14, 2010

Just to remind everyone that the Annual Charity Dice Roll-Off will take place next Wednesday (weather permitting).

If you have anything which you’d like to donate please bring it along. Do you have any figures or units which don’t (or won’t ever) fit into your armies, bring them along. Are there any wargames related books lurking on your shelves which will never be read, please donate them.

The Charity Dice will be sold during the club session, and only these dice should be used through the dice roll-offs.

Cheers
