Game at last

Nearly 3 weeks after I set the table up at the club, we eventually got the game played, even though much changed. With players missing over 3 weeks for birthdays, house moves, holidays etc. Myself and Sean decided to just get the game done. The scenario changed to a straight up encounter between the Bolsheviks and the Germano-Turk alliance. The Brits were sadly returned to their box. We kept it simple as Sean hadn't played the rules before. Both sides were looking to secure the village for its supplies.

Germano-Turks advance

Bolsheviks take the field

Turks secure the camp

Bolsheviks reach the village

Charge!!

Auxiliaries creep forward

Bolsheviks storm the village

I see Turks across the field

Viscious melee with the Germans coming out on top

Siberians finally getting a move on

The end of battle view

A good fun game. The loss of the 2 German HMG teams severly hampered the defence of the village. Despite inflicting horrific on the advancing Bolsheviks, a steady stream of casualties on the defenders eventually forced a withdrawal of the Germano-Turks.

  2. Good to see your patience paid off! Sometimes, when it is difficult to muster the players, it is best to go with what you have.
