Right, I read through the opening blurb of the rule book. It says that you can run this at Plt and Coy level. 1985 Team Yankee is deployed to defend Hill 214 Col Potecknovs Rifle Bn deploys to take the Hill. Will this be the life fire exercise that the Col hopes for? Is Team Yankee living a hollywood style life?

Time for the second scenario from the Armageddon Scenario book. This time we just did the one play through. I am honestly enjoying this. Also I think I'm really bad at this game, or I might just be out of practise. At some point I will do a couple of other scenarios with these rules, perhaps my Night Lords V Thousand Sons.....sorry, sorry, Blood Ravens. They just look the same and have lots of psykers. A squad of Blood Angels with a missile launcher must defend against the greenskins. Mobs of Goff Boyz storm forward to kill all the red armoured humies.

No, I am not trying to get in on some new craze where everyone has dumped the latest Great Satan ruleset and gone back to the basics. I have for a very long time wanted to get back to playing 2nd Edi and have been having trouble convincing people to join me......honest. I think I'm protesting to much...... A squad of Blood Angels must clear out the greenskins. A group of Gretchin, backed up by a mob of Orks, are sniping at the Blood Angel bridgehead. Dont get beaten by the red humies..

Time for action in Germany, with a Napoleonic game which has no Frenchmen and depending on your point of view, no Germans either...... The Sixth Coalition advances to do battle in the lands of the Germans with the French. A Russian Infantry column is tasked with capturing a French Allied (Swiss) Held farm. Can the Russians steam roller there way through and on to Paris or will the Swiss hold firm like a red coated wall?

The death ride of the Yamato. Operation Tengo. As I don't own any USN ships this time it will be His Most Britannic Majesties Royal Navy taking on the Imperial Japanese Navies Super Dreadnought and its meat shields. The scenario is simple. The Yamato has to get off the opposite table edge with as many of its escorts as possible in 8 turns. The RN Task force has to stop them. This vid continues the game. So far the RN has suffered losses though the Yamato is drifting along rather then saliing due to HMS Rodneys guns IJN commanded by Dave RN commanded by Me Ruleset: Victory at Sea from Mongoose Publishing (I dont need the Warlords version) Website link, http://www.navwar.co.uk/nav/ Scale: 1/3000 Ships by NavWar

A scenario I made up about a day before we played. I work best under pressure.....sometimes.... Rebel Forces send a flight of 3 X-Wings to attack the shipping near an Imperial controlled world. They are intercepted by a patrol from the local TIE Squadron.

The ultimate wargame of epic medieval fantasy combat between the forces of Chaos and the Empire of Man. My dad bought this back in the early 90s, we would spend many evenings playing this game and throwing temper tantrums when we lost.....as children and wargamers do. Having recently picked up the game and all the various extras and bolt ons we bought for it over the years I figured, why not, do something a bit weird.

A mixed force of Soviet Rifle Group V German Infantrie Kampfgruppe. The scenario is based around an idea Dave had to make oddball objectives. Lets see what happens.... Two platoon groups advance to contact in a meeting engagement. Objectives when captured are rolled for to see what you get.
