The Loose Association of Wargamers

Two games in 3 days (see my 'Bronze' report here for a Chariot Wars game) & 2 new rule sets.
This WW2 game will be using, for the first time, the 'Rapid Fire Reloaded' rules & specifically their Normandy scenario at Mouen.

I've set up the table as close as possible to the map. I don't have enough hedges though - who would have that much?

NB the vehicles & figures on the table are just for the effect & it will be the Black Watch assaulting the German defenders.










A report of tomorrow's game + photos will follow.

Looking forward to the report.

My father was an NCO in the Black Watch. Landed in Normandy on 10 June 1944 I believe.

Everyone else landed on the 6th. Did he get lost? Runs in the family?

OK, so that's probably worth a couple of these.......

.....and one of these......

But which Normandy?

Another excellent set up Donald. How did you find RF reloaded? I have it but havent tried it yet. One day I might do Western Desert in 10mm.. one day..

There's a Normandy near Cove in Hampshire (very nice, too - I've played cricket there). Perhaps his unit just got lost?

Normandy, 1944. The Germans were tasked with defending a French village. Their numbers were relatively few & some of their equipment was dated.
The game saw the Germans comprehensively beaten but only after putting up a good fight.








They did have Panther tanks though & the task of the British - to seize the village - looked daunting.





The redoubtable RA provided artillery support:


Air support was promised but clouds meant they never actually attacked the Germans.
Still the airforce looked good:




It was rather a surprise when ther British entered the village - not least for this German mortar crew:



'Rapid Fire Reloaded' is a straight forward, quick & enjoyable rule set. I believe we have a new set of WW2 rules.

Excellent looking game, Donald.
