Another game here in OHQ, Dave came over for a Spanish Civil War outing using Bolt Action rules. As is customary Dave took command of the Republican force consisting of six anarchist militia units with the support of a unit of Assault Guards.
The Rebel force consisted of five units of Carlist Requettes who would be coming to aid the rebel Guardia holding the village against the oncoming Anarchist Militia column.
Seeing an opportunity to turn the battle the strongest remaining Anarchist unit attempts to advance, but Dave managed to get two of the sixes that had been alluding him most of the game. This resulted in the unit panicking and running to the rear, this ended any threat to the Requettes who in the meantime had flanked the Anarchists on the right.
A rare win for the Rebels and me for that matter.
Until next time......
TTFN and KBO
A game most notable for the huge disparity in the number of sizes rolled in your favour! I've never seen your dice so on fire🔥
ReplyDeleteThe dice gods were definitely agin ya in this outing.
DeleteCongratulations on a win, Phil! Poor David. You can’t fight the dice.
ReplyDeleteI think this was only the third win for the Nationalists since starting the blog.
DeleteCongratulations on the victory
ReplyDeleteThank you Neil, I shall make the most of it.
DeletePhoto number 4 with soft background - superb. In a recent face-to-face game, my opponent after a while insisted that I change my dice because my scores were consistently so embarrassingly low. Of course I don’t really hold with such nonsense, but I changed them anyway ….. just in case :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm. I think Dave swapped to his red dice and to be fair he did get some sixes afterwards including the two for the FUBAR😂
DeleteCongrats on the win and lovely photos of the game:).
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve.
DeleteCongrats on the win and a lovely looking game as well!

Thank you Christopher, hope I am on a roll with the dice gods.
ReplyDeleteA lovely looking game there Phil, displaying a very nice collection of figures and buildings..... looks like you both had a lot of fun! The FUBAR was probably the last straw😅 Congratulations on the win, and well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul, a grand game and but for that FUBAR it could have easily turned the other way, dice gods permitting of course 😉
DeleteCongrats Phil on your bragging rights.
ReplyDeleteIt's not often I get them😟
DeleteAnother really nice looking game Phil. I believe Mr.B's dice are now heading for the bin ...
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon, indeed his dice were less than kind.
DeleteLovely looking game, excellent scenery and figures. The Requettes are particularly attractive.
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith. The Requettes certainly performed better than the Legion do as well had looking pretty.
DeleteA lovely looking game Phil…
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a rare win… it’s nice when the dice gods look kindly on you.
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly, a double whammy when they frown on the opposition in the same game 🙂
