Ready To Roll

Into the Reich, two more vehicles from the Rapid Fire Ready to Roll range.

For 1945 games and in preparation for the latest Battlegroup supplement.

First up a Sherman dozer.

Second a M8 armoured car with an AB Figures commander.

I also have a M36 tank destroyer ready for weathering, await delivery of washes from Flory Models, ordered last night and posted today!

Keep your eyes peeled for a report of the French and Indian Wars game played today on Dave's blog, Tales From GHQ.

A Rare Victory

 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.

The Guardia prepare to stem the Republican advance on the left.

The Anarchist pour fire into the Guardia with little effect.

On the right the Anarchists exchange fire with the Requettes.

With all the cover sixes and sixes followed by six are the order of the day, today the dice gods favoured yours truly, pinning the Anarchist horde across the front.

The Anarchists are unable to shift the tenacious Guardia.

Meanwhile a unit of Requettes move round to cut off any flanking move. They held off any attempt at great cost.

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......
