Armored Combat supplement for A Sergeant's War

The platoon of Sherman tanks, down to three tracks thanks to landmines and breakdowns, emerged from the wood and accelerated across a clearing.  Immediately, the crack of a high-velocity gun cut through the air.  Sergeant Glen, peeking out of the turret hatch of Daisy Darling, reflexively ducked.  He scanned the far side of the field, looking for an AT gun emplacement or an enemy tank.  Another round cracked and Mobile Macy, about fifty yards to his right, lurched to a halt and leaked flame and smoke.

 

A third round cut overhead.  Over the intercom he heard the driver say a prayer and his gunner curse.  There was a killer out there, and they hadn’t even managed to spot it yet…

 

Armored contains scenarios and special rules for use with the WWII small unit game A Sergeant’s War (ASW).  The scenarios are perfectly compatible with other wargame rules, of course. 

It is available online at the Wargame Vault

 

Vietnam War AAR

We played a fun Vietnam War game on Saturday, using the WWII rules "Battleground WWII," with a few modifications.  The game was fun and I was reminded of how much fun I had with BGWWII back when it came out in the late 90s.  Pics and an AAR of the game below, and some self-indulgent ruminations on those classic gaming rules.  Thanks for looking!

Free Introductory Version of A Sergeant's War Available

I have made a free introductory version of my WWII small unit rules, A Sergeant’s War, available at the Wargame Vault.  The introductory version of the game includes the basic rules for infantry combat and two starter scenarios.  It is 25 pages long, 19 of which are the rules.  The rest are introductory/designer notes, a table of contents, and the scenarios.

here is the link--description after the bump

Rail Gun Playtest AAR

I am currently playtesting my space ship wargame Rail Gun. I used miniatures with the game for the first time today, having used counters in the past  In the game, a battleship escorted by two destroyers engaged a pair of enemy heavy cruisers and three destroyers.  The fight was quite bloody---one heavy cruiser destroyed, the second badly damaged; the battleship was barely space-worthy.  I am still working on game balance but I counted this as a successful playtest.  Pics and a blow-by-blow account of the game below. 

Spaceships from my bits box

Here are some kit-bashed space ships I’ve made to use in games of Rail Gun.  They are made from stuff from my bits box, mostly 40k weapons but also pieces from other models.  I have another 8 waiting for paint and plan to build more.  They attach by magnet to my simple nail-and-base flight stands.
