Field of Glory vol II... AAR...

Well,  met up today with Mike and his vaunted Mongols. I brought out my newly painted Late Crusaders. Actually just put a final coat of flat varnish on the lads a few hours before the game.

We both had about 600 points per force. Actually I think Mike was running about 700 lol... But is life and gaming ever fair??? Lol.

We set down our armies and advanced. I was planning on just sweeping his forces right off the field by advancing and taking away his maneuver room and options. He used his mobility to stay out of my clutches, and try to gain a nice flank attack.

The only clash of swords was on the hill on my right flank. I double moved my turoploes up to the crown of the hill and was then charged by mikes best regiment!!! He was very happy to engage my average protected turkopoles, with his ELITE armored mongols with his commanding general attached. He should have rolled over them!!! However, the hill and my attached general and some very good dice rolls turned the tables on Mikes elite heavy cavalry.. The turkoploes actually routed them!!! It's nice when a newly painted unit does good in its first battle!!! Usually newly painted units and armies get  spanked lol....

We played out the game and it turned out to be a nice draw... It was a good time and I REALLY like my Crusaders!!!! They are going to be a lot of fun to play.. At least for me lol... Now to get Chuck to get his Mameluke's and or Byzantines painted up and put down for some good games.

Field of Glory is really a good system and simulation.

The Mongols and Crusaders at the start of battle.

My "plucky" turkoploes and general take the hill on my right flank.

Mikes Mongol left flank moving up the hill.

The cavalry melee for the hill... this was 4th turn of melee and the RED flag was for "fragmented" Mongol heavy cavalry. Ouch.... Yay!!!!

Another look at the cavalry melee.

Flames of War... Battle Report

Rob and I dusted off our "Flames of War" stuff and had a free for

Initial positions. That is the Airborne troops in the woods.

Here s my side of the table at the start. Grenadiers in the woods going for the objective!!!

My Grenadiers assaulting Robs MG"s.... Epic melee action!!!

The center after an allied air attack. Though, the Brummbars got some revenge later!!!

all game today at Great Escape games.

Rob had 1500 pts of USA Airborne troops. and I had 1500 pts. of German Grenadiers.

Rob had two infantry platoons, some pack 75mm guns, some mortars and some 57mm anti tank guns. As well as full air support and a machine gun platoon too!!

I had three infantry platoons, a heavy MG pltn, 105mm gun battery, scout platoon, some snipers and lastly... a Brummbar platoon!!!!

I deployed an infantry and scout platoon plus HQ, in the wooded on my left flank. Two infantry platoons in the center. The Hvy MG's in the woods on my right flank. And the 105"s and Brummbars in reserve.

I surged forward through the woods on my left flank with my infantry and HQ... In the center and right flank I dug in. I bombared his right flank. And charged his machine gun positions there!!! There was a brutal fire fight and melee!!!

My Grenadiers wiped out his MG Platoon. But Robs airborne troops were very tough and really mauled my lads!!! I pulled them back into the woods and regrouped.

The center was calm.

On my right flank Rob advanced toward the objective that lay there. His two infantry platoons never got close to there objective. They got shot up pretty bad by Hvy MGs, snipers and Brummbars!!!

My guys got bombed a lot by planes and artillery but not to badly.

My Brummbars really took it to some paratroopers that took cover in a built up area. "Bunker Busters"....

Well, the game went well. We both had a great time and relearned a great game system! We will be playing Flames of War more often....

The game acme out to a draw. We were both about in the same shape and neither had gotten an objective in the 3 hours that we played.  Great Fun!!!!

ARRRRR me Maties.... Pirates...

15mm Frontier and Peter Pig pirates....

I painted these guys up for "Koenig Krieg III" and "Pieces of Eight"...
