20mm WW2. Operation Epsom

Hi

Just an update on the progress I am making in organising a large club game in October.

It is to be the first battle for Hill 112 during Op Epsom.

I plan to re use boards from my previous projects but do need to make some additional boards.

I got thee chance to make a start on the new ones yesterday and as you can see have finished three to date.

They are made from 6mm msg supported by batten being drilled onto the four edges.

More updates to follow hopefully.

Cheers

Phil

Ww2 20mm basing

Hi

Have made a start on basing these Pz Gren. I use decorators caulk that I then brush pva on to before sprinkling on builders sand. I also add at this stage loose stones or small twigs.

To be continued.

Cheers

Brandy wine part 2 re fight

Evening, Continuing with the AAR, in the centre the British engaged in a firefight with the rebels in an effort to demoralise them before using the bayonet to hopefully move them from their positions. Here Cornwallis command is starting to cause casualties on the rebels.

In the centre the Rebels repulsed the British lights and made the Guard wobble before they managed to turn the tide. Here are the lights running into stout defence.

Back on the British left, lead by the Hessians the British were starting to gain the upper hand.

The Brit evicted the Rebels from the wood but again not without a protracted fight.

The success on the left along with the Guard turning the tables on rebels lead to the collapse of the U.S. centre despite Washington personally intervening.

With this the Rebels knew the gig was up and retreated from the field. This leaves our campaign score interestingly poised at 2 battles each though the Brits are claiming to be ahead on points having broken 10 rebel units at Brandywine....

Brandy wine 1776 re fight

A re fight in 28mm at the Herts volunteers. The Rebels were represented by Dave, Steve and Micheal, and the British by Martin, Mick and myself. We were using BP rules and figures from various of our collections.

The opening gambit as the British under Cornwallis gain the advantage of the higher grounds that Washington had decided against occupying.....

The portion on the British right with Knaphousen facing of against the Rebels.

Know phase himself aka Martin and the reason for the delight....

A devastating barrage in the opening exchange of shots. Will carry on the AAR later just of for dinner....

Projects for 2015

Evening Realised have not updated for a while and thought I'd give a quick over view of projects I am working on over this year. I am due to be putting on a game at my local club in October which is going to be based on the battle of Epsom and to attempt to capture hill 112 on the 29 th June 1944. This is going to involve me building more terrain boards of which will be posting plenty of photos in a similar style to ones I have made for Sword beach and Pegaus bridge.will post some photos of these so you can see the finished articles and have recently written an article on the contstruction of them that will hope to be appearing in a Wargaming magazine soon. Aside from terrain building th either idea behind this project is to rapidly increase my armour levels that I have in 20mm. Painting and building wise there will hopefully be plenty of armour on your screen! As for figures we'll always need more Ww2 20mm infantry but am also closing in on finishing my British AWI Division for our club project with a unit of Queens Rangers, a further foot regt and commanders to do. After that will be returning to my second favourite period Napleonics..... Cheers Phil
