This week on the virtual battlefield, it was an all Infantry affair as I continued to test Rob's Canadians for the upcoming 2013 Historicon tournament. We rolled up 'No Retreat' as the mission. Seeing as we both field foot footsoldier lists, we had to roll over who would attack. I came up with the higher number after Rob rolled a big fat 1. After choosing which end he would defend, we began deployment and objective placements. Enjoy the video of the game and I happened to take some pics as well covering most of the action.
Looking at the board layout, Rob chose the best side from which to defend. No matter which way I wanted to approach from, there were going to be a lot of slow moving anti-tank guns and bog checks moving 4" at a time in order to get range on those dug in Canadians. I have to say after being bombarded nearly every turn, rocket batteries are the way to go for maximum effect on target.
I had a hard time breaking through all the terrain to get my guns go…
Cool. You should make some vids of those games. Perhaps a couple where you discuss the rules differences. Maybe hold a google hangout with the author of the rules.
ReplyDeleteLook at me: telling you how to spend your hobby time. Typical American, bossing people around.
Anyway, the models look great.
Matt V usually films our games, so we'll get them up once we play. Not sure what a Google hangout is, but things are tough with the time difference between Canada and the UK.
DeleteAnd yes, we don't like Americans bossing us around. Insert winking smiley face here.
