A Gentleman's War, 3 in a row

Conclusion of the AGW AWI trilogy.
3rd game in 3 weeks using Dan's great collection.
5 players, 2 decks, 5 cameo cards.  About a dozen units per side.  Oversized 18 figure units.
American left flank.  

British left flank.  Hessian Jaeger skirmish with Stockbridge Indians.
The lumber mill is one of the objectives.

US right flank (me) opposite Dan.
Dan moves his Brunswick forces up the middle road.
I used my Oscar Wilde personality card to goad one of the Jaeger units to charge my American infantry.  It didn't end well for them.
Jaegers fire at Americans holding the lumber mill.
Dan's forces line the rail fence along the central road.
Howard's Americans in the centre vs. Jonathans British.
On the left, Flynn looks about to be overrun by British bayonets.
Some lucky shooting dice turn them back.

Bongo in the Congo

Continuing to work on our modern skirmish rules.  This time set in a "Wild Geese" period.
The village

The Local Forces are moving into the village to neutralize "enemy civilian targets".

Tipped off, the Government Mercenaries rush to save them.

Local Forces (LF) break into a garage and eliminate the first target. 

Mercs race down the road to the village, fanning out as they reach the buildings.




The LF lieutenant blows up one truck with an RPG.  2 mercs are caught in the blast.


The Merc commander's jeep responds with .50 caliber rounds, shredding the RPGer.


Another squad moves into Jepson's bar, turning over tables for cover.

Mercs move around the right flank of the merchants bazaar.  Dropping some LF shooting down the alley.

The LF gets into the bazaar through the back door and kills the merchant.


A close range shootout at the bazaar results in the death of the second LF leader.  The LF has been shattered by casualties,  but have eliminated most of the civilian targets in the village.  The mercenaries contract will not be renewed!
