The British are coming....from China

Got some 28mm Napoleonic British from a Chinese painting service.  Pretty nice!  I plan to use them for War of 1812 and eventually some Sharpe type Penninsula War.

Another go at 5core company commander

9Dan and I had another stab at the 5core Company Commander rules.
We added in a few details we had left out in the first game.  All in all it went pretty smoothly.   The scenario wasn't very complex: another meeting engagement with a 1 point per building victory point at the end.

(Ok, not sure why most came out sideways).
I was Germans, Dan the Yanks.   My Tiger got knocked out turn one.  I moved my halftracks up to the village and grabbed the buildings early.
My Stug popped 3 tanks before he got taken out.  From there I really didn't have any Anti tank capability, but was able to cut off a lot of Dan's infantry from getting to the village.
The last turn was a furious firefight trying to pin or drive infantry from the objectives but ended up in a tie as we both held 2 houses.
Another good game of 5core.  It lacks detail, but gives a quick game.
If you care whether your tank is a pz. 4 j or h then this isn't the game for you.  If you want to see a reinforced company see a result in 2 hours, go for it.

The Delays- A long time comin'

After a pretty shit week, found a few moments to work on a long time desired  project: 40mm Napoleonics.
Still not sure about rules.  Sharpe Practice and Chosen Men seem too large a scale for the number of figures I will field in this scale (10 to 20 per side).
Drums and Shakos seems too simple, Pulp Alley too complex.  Quite the Goldilocks syndrome.

Photo ops

No game this week, but we did take some photos for Howard's upcoming rules "A Gentleman's War ".

And a group selfie.  Figure out who is who...
