I managed to get myself a copy of Airfix Battles for a good price and it arrived today.
My permanent games table has a game of Warmaster set up ready to go so I opened the box on the kitchen table and couldn't resist a quickie.
I grabbed some of my Flames of War stuff and some hit/casualty markers and got straight into it.
The 15mm stuff fits the map squares better than 1/72nd scale but I have a board marked with 100mm squares and plan to use that when I get used to the rules.
Below are a few shots of todays action. I had to clear the game away and go for my second Covid jab so I didn't get long with it.
I will play the game of Warmaster tonight and free up the table for more Airfix Battles tomorrow.
Have a copy of this game but never got around to playing it yet , got my second jab the other day with no after effects .
ReplyDeleteWargamers of our generation are bound to be tempted by the name Airfix Battles, they knew what they were doing when they named it. I've just given it a proper try out and it seems a canny game, light on history and a bit cheap and cheerful, right up my street!.
DeleteNo ill effects with the jab here either except a sore shoulder, the wifey that did this jab was a bit heavy handed.
Take care Tony,
Regards,
Paul.
