So the party could try to sneak across the river and deal with the militia, or... lie low till the Royal Marine in the watchtower is facing the wrong way, and come out with all guns blazing. Yeah, lets do that.</div>

The unfortunate militia, and the British Tommy in the watchtower are cut down in a blaze of close range fire, they never stood a chance. The noise wakes up Sergeant Weasel, who rouses the rest of this squad. Turns out they were all in the huts furthest away from the bridge, and a team of the PMCs, led by Hanson, keeps them suppressed there for the rest of the action.<br />

I was pleased with how Black Ops handled this scenario.<br />

We did make a couple of house rules, and cannot understand how you handle suppressing fire aimed at an area. If anyone knows I could use a tutorial.<br />

Apart from Kings of War (where I run a human army anyway) I have never been into fantasy games. Recently, I have warmed to the idea. Even more recently Ganesha Games came out with new set of rules called <a href="http://www.ganeshagames.net/product_info.php?products_id=344" target="_blank"><i>Sellswords and Spellslingers</i></a>. This uses the same activation mechanism as rules like Songs of Blades and Heroes, but differs in that it is designed for cooperative play.<br />
<br />
One reason I like cooperative games is that the rules can be 20 pages shorter, and another is that my 8-year old son wants to get into gaming and I am afraid he will thrash me. This, then, is an after action report of a game with the aforementioned child.<br />
<br />
But before the report, I have learned that you must always have a backstory for fantasy games. And that back-story should be cobbled together from bits of fantasy novels... so<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Backstory</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It had been a 100 years since the wildlings had crossed the Black River (see what I did there). No one alive in the Bree could remember them having come that far south. Younger folk even laughed that there would be anything as preposterous as an actual troll. They are not laughing now. Most of the villagers had time to make it to Bree Keep where they would be safe from the marauding wildlings (or Orcs as they are sometimes called). Then a party of Sellswords (no spellslingers) arrived from the east. Quickly realising the orcs had come (from the despoiled sheep carcasses if nothing else) the sellswords had two options. The first was to make a break to the South down the track past the manor house. The second was to try to gain the safety of Bree Keep. Which would they choose?</div>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><i>Sir Conor of the Rocks</i>: Armour +2, Axe Fighter +2, Strong +1, Deadly Blow</li>
<li><i>Seb the Archer</i>: Good Shot +2</li>
<li><i>Simon the Spearman</i>: Armour 2</li>
<li><i>Lachlan the Swordsman</i>: Sword Fighter +2, Shield 1</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Second Group</h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><i>Sir Robert Aquila</i>: Sword fighter +2, Shield 1, Armour 3</li>
<li><i>Yeaoman Bill</i>: Shield 1</li>
<li><i>Forrester Jeb</i>: Good Shot +2</li>
<li><i>Sneaky Simon</i>: Free disengage</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
The Scenario</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The party need to make it to the Keep or off the table via the path. Wandering and Ambushing Monsters are chosen from those available by the player who's PC activated the card.</div>

Below is the village of Bree. The sellswords can be seem running over the bridge at the top. The path to safety is to the left and the keep is visible to the right. </div>

Our party soon realises they are being followed by an orc horde. Worse, the troll makes an appearance. Now trolls are not too bright (only reacting to enemy close by), and fortunately for the sellswords this troll spends its time pacing restlessly between the river and the road.<br />

The year is 1816, the place is Smith's farm in the Nepean valley, in what is now New South Wales, Australia. We are using the rules <a href="http://www.dadiepiombo.it/english-smoothandrifled.html" target="_blank"><i>Smooth and Rifled</i></a> (with some house rules) as they work very well for this level of skirmish. We are using a scenario from <a href="https://agrabbagofgames.wordpress.com/2018/02/01/australian-frontier-wars-smooth-rifled-skirmish-gaming/" target="_blank">A Grab Bag of Games</a>.<br />
<br />
At first the Darug people though only a few <i>didjurigura garraway</i> (white men) would come. But more than could ever have been imagined come up the river and the roads.<br />
<br />
Fearing trouble, Governor Macquarie sends soldiers of the Veteran
Company under Lieutenant Rivers, that loyal public servant, to Smith's
Farm. <br />
<br />
A Darug leader, known in Lieutenant Rivers' journal as 'Ecstatic Traveller', or to the settlers as Happy Wanderer, or to the soldiers as just Happy decides enough is enough. He decided to gather the warriors and attack the place where the "fluffy-white kangaroo mob" lives.<br />

At this point the Darug warriors stop in amazement for two reasons. Firstly they make a terrible command roll. But secondly, the soldiers all simultaneously turn as one man. One end of the 'snake' stays still, the other marches forward. "What is this" cries Happy, "some sort of dance". <br />

Offended and hurt, the convicts run away, or sink to the ground wounded. Warriors jump the fence to round up the white-fluffy kangaroos.<br />

Then the soldiers stop their weird dance, and at a cry from their officer raise their <i>djarraba </i>(Darug for musket) and all fire at the same time. The warriors are appalled and watch in shock as the soldiers do the ritual that makes the <i>djarraba </i>shoot again. This volley happens to kill Happy, throwing the warriors into more confusion. A third volley is somewhat more ragged, but sends the warriors fleeing down the road.<br />

At a shout from Lieutenant Rivers, the drummer play a different tune and the soldiers stop firing and start to reload. The strange snake-dance begins again and the soldiers advance on the larger body of warriors. The warriors see no point in hanging around near these weird people, and fade back into the bush.<br />

The aftermath</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lieutenant Rivers reports back to Governor Macquarie the great great victory over the restless tribe. Farmer Smith, gingerly pulling a Darug spear out of his posterior, vows to leave the Nepean for good. Soon most of his neighbours follow him back to Sydney and the Nepean Valley once again becomes the unfettered hunting ground for the Darug. The Darug elders reflect on the events of the day and vacant spots around the fire, and vow never to fight against <i>djarraba </i>in the open again<i>.</i></div>

I have had a few request about how I made my latest mat. I always wanted a matt that I could unroll and ta.da: there was most of the work done. I wanted thing like roads to be integral to the matt, but I also wanted to the grass to be, well for want of a better word 'fluffy'.<br />
<br />
There is a section of my club that things all games should be played on 120mm x 90mm or 4'x3'. Personally, I think this is because we are getting old and can't be bothered standing up to move toy soldiers around. But this size is used by Studio Tomahawk rules like Condo and Saga, so this is the size I went for.<br />
<br />
So, here is the mat in question posing as Australia<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
However the other side has a fabric backing, and this is the side I used. Other people have made mats using drop sheets, but I think the vinyl baking makes the mat much stronger.<br />
<br />
In the beginning I sketched out the roads in caulk <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLomYonbaYhRTBLsCBeAQP0Sx1FwyR_WHHcN0O2vy3fMdwfV0F-8VFAv_RrjmpRaZFJsWbBqMWVdgaOSX_hAESJ4WScoy3jvvZpKtq4vdMwFwlYxMFhl7Z7QNYAXm56fRu_Mtjmg0rJpM/s1600/IMG_6203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLomYonbaYhRTBLsCBeAQP0Sx1FwyR_WHHcN0O2vy3fMdwfV0F-8VFAv_RrjmpRaZFJsWbBqMWVdgaOSX_hAESJ4WScoy3jvvZpKtq4vdMwFwlYxMFhl7Z7QNYAXm56fRu_Mtjmg0rJpM/s640/IMG_6203.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
This is what I used.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU_uZ5fahLsHrviBB2eVDSGFwcj3yOaxG7z_7zyHY8SiSXdtScxOH_MxSZ57xPPKdtPVMAE8VOxtnAy-Kci_tCLvBd6ZcJsCsYfALwUiPBnlK8S80rRXLih0vm3W4DekemOswBwGn4kv0/s1600/FULLER+CAULK+IN+COLOURSL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="800" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU_uZ5fahLsHrviBB2eVDSGFwcj3yOaxG7z_7zyHY8SiSXdtScxOH_MxSZ57xPPKdtPVMAE8VOxtnAy-Kci_tCLvBd6ZcJsCsYfALwUiPBnlK8S80rRXLih0vm3W4DekemOswBwGn4kv0/s320/FULLER+CAULK+IN+COLOURSL.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
With one layer you can still see the texture of the fabric, so I added a few very thin layers. I was trying to economise, so I didn't cover the whole mat in caulk. That was huge mistake as later you could see white bits between the flock.<br />
<br />
I tried adding some sand for texture, but I stopped as I thought the abrasiveness of the sand would wear out the caulk as it got rolled up. Instead I just ragged the caulk with an old t-shirt as it was drying which gave me a texture I liked.<br />
<br />
I used clay kitty litter for the 'rocks' as I thought the kitty litter would absorb the caulk and be more durable. So far that has proved to the case.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrGLAKw7NgbT2L3o0fr9Ij9pnaqc6tyIRqjezMelpQwBVW0hkUBCUULxDnB-hcyztFGcGS6CDw1NUgFKbbnm6rRa8u5NCNJ_IaTg1Moo_RTenAeBg8j-zqKlI2ehusT5lIsXW4Y0Li0Ls/s1600/IMG_6205.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrGLAKw7NgbT2L3o0fr9Ij9pnaqc6tyIRqjezMelpQwBVW0hkUBCUULxDnB-hcyztFGcGS6CDw1NUgFKbbnm6rRa8u5NCNJ_IaTg1Moo_RTenAeBg8j-zqKlI2ehusT5lIsXW4Y0Li0Ls/s640/IMG_6205.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
The caulk dried really quickly. Next I pained on PVA glue mixed with water and sprinkled three tones of flock in patches. The flock dries to be very fluffy, but not very durable.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdmrbZg_1g0Ds07YkcNkLAiDrT-R-rgNz-gunIT2n-d13cV3uFwuuU7OLEUEb4Tj2XTR5XQdvMO5YdqilSwH2chWNUG9kB4OBetRZQ23RH4DOBIAOjKMmRE0kxBCMc99hBSi_euu8nYMA/s1600/IMG_6206.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdmrbZg_1g0Ds07YkcNkLAiDrT-R-rgNz-gunIT2n-d13cV3uFwuuU7OLEUEb4Tj2XTR5XQdvMO5YdqilSwH2chWNUG9kB4OBetRZQ23RH4DOBIAOjKMmRE0kxBCMc99hBSi_euu8nYMA/s400/IMG_6206.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
So I splayed a water PVA mix over the top once it had dried. I found that the more PVA you spray, the flatter the flock becomes. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJKbmCstlwj8h3KRln-QQbEZQqZl-T02G-yVoNl0-ovupX6AFW7s8e6RgZPc8sONvx1SAIpJxXscHux9JyXLDwQByJPpUdu3UKJdqu2GbKDBmslU8dsVJu2Ancc31nNzXiyvZ5NwzvaM/s1600/IMG_6207.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJKbmCstlwj8h3KRln-QQbEZQqZl-T02G-yVoNl0-ovupX6AFW7s8e6RgZPc8sONvx1SAIpJxXscHux9JyXLDwQByJPpUdu3UKJdqu2GbKDBmslU8dsVJu2Ancc31nNzXiyvZ5NwzvaM/s400/IMG_6207.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
So I sprayed some areas really flat to create stable areas for my buildings. I also dry brushed the caulk at this stage to bring out the texture.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPJIERzPZl2qKwulzigO1YbZfjIffrN2pfchuF6l-6CA1BLDjWSTw6J2zkZ3LOHfMf0xSkt6udl9NGX4CbABLr_sbUz_scs38E2IMjeH3hSA8_vB09ZEAA_MRVYO4bt6jDCEurHxJB3Fs/s1600/IMG_6208.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPJIERzPZl2qKwulzigO1YbZfjIffrN2pfchuF6l-6CA1BLDjWSTw6J2zkZ3LOHfMf0xSkt6udl9NGX4CbABLr_sbUz_scs38E2IMjeH3hSA8_vB09ZEAA_MRVYO4bt6jDCEurHxJB3Fs/s400/IMG_6208.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
That was it. The project would have taken one whole Saturday if I had covered the whole mat in caulk. As it is I spent a few evenings filling in all the tiny white gaps. A lesson learned.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM5fEEe4V_pKE3aC7vr1HVQ3MCnouAVcxXm5sLZZaOLFQoGa3D5SUaSsLSOF01HHRinitf2ZQ_5IHYI0dCLfK8FxeB4m8hEaLUSnjpoIGvSH3NMC-jyuHyzh4qfkWFRihVbhUFediVSDI/s1600/IMG_E6379.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM5fEEe4V_pKE3aC7vr1HVQ3MCnouAVcxXm5sLZZaOLFQoGa3D5SUaSsLSOF01HHRinitf2ZQ_5IHYI0dCLfK8FxeB4m8hEaLUSnjpoIGvSH3NMC-jyuHyzh4qfkWFRihVbhUFediVSDI/s400/IMG_E6379.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
My last lesson, and I can't stress this enough, is you must stop your cat dancing on the flock while it is drying. The cat has been punished and the mat repaired.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

More of my knowledge about 19th century warfare comes from watching movie matinees than I would care to admit.<br />
<br />
Typically, in these movies, a company/platoon/troop wanders off into the wilderness, threatened as much by the conflict between the handsome commanders (and a femme fatale), as by the dogged, skillful and honourable tribesmen fighting for freedom.<br />
<br />
Now there are some skirmish rules I like, Sharpe Practice and The Men Who Would Be Kings to name two. In my head though, the 'groups, in these rules act like companies.<br />
<br />
In the movies, the impossibly handsome commander growls: "Corporal o'Brian, take two men and sout that gully". Every time the two men get tomahawked, while Corporal o'Brian staggers back to the main body, to be ministered to by the "love interest". Perhaps the impossibly handsome commander should have sent five men and Sergeant Smith.<br />
<br />
In my search for a set of rules that fits this niche I bought "Smooth and Rifled" and played the big version. To be honest my opponents found controlling several units overwhelming, and rules in English are a bit hard to understand.<br />
<br />
Still, there were things I really liked:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>A man could act as an individual, or as part of a group using the same mechanisms.</li>
<li>Fire can be by crashing volleys, or by a popping individual fire</li>
<li>The army lists make different forces act quite differently.</li>
</ol>
The author of <i>Smooth and Rifled</i>, Lorenzo Sartori said that he wanted to do a second edition and could I help. Therefore I decided to play the medium version of the game again.<br />
<br />
My friend, who you might know as "Happy Wander" latest <strike>obsession</strike> interest is the Australian Frontier Wars. Now, in Australia we envy overseas wargamers who get to play games that happened a few miles away. So I find the opportunity to game the local tribes fight against colonisation very interesting.<br />
<br />
So we decided to try <i>Smooth and Rifled </i>(with quite a few rules amendments).<br />
<br />
The game is set at Cleland's Farm on a bend of Parramatta Road which runs westwards from Sydney in 1816. A section of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales_Corps" target="_blank">Rum Corps</a> has been detailed to keep the road clear of some combative elements of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eora" target="_blank">Eora </a>tribe.<br />

My first few games of Sharp Practice left me impressed by the range of rules that covered so much of large skirmish warfare. However me and my gaming friends were also frustrated by the time it took to play a game. We are time poor wargamers.<br />
<br />
After much hypothesising we decided to see what a game on a half sized table would <i>feel </i>like.<br />
<br />
This 50 point encounter game is set in the Indian Mutiny (First War of Independence) and is on my new 3 x 4 foot table. The Mutineers/Freedom fighters are deploying from Raja's elephant and the top of the picture. The British column is deploying out the wagon on the bottom left.<br />
<br />

<br />
The mutineers have already deployed a few groups, so is a British minor character urging the British column forward.<br />

As more Indian surge down the road, I realise that if the Indian's had brought on cavalry they could have overrun my deployment point already. <br />

Luckily a small unit of miffed Indigo Planters arrive to protect the wagon, and their profits. <br />

<br />
As yet more mutineers surge down the road, the British commander; Charles Wutherington Inbred Smyth arrives with a column of the 9th regiment of foot.<br />
<br />
Instead of pushing up the road to confront the Mutineers, Wutherington Inbred Smyth sends the column to the west of the building in the hope that the Indigo planters can hold the road. This will put them in an excellent flanking position.<br />

<br />
As the mutineers attack down the road is they are delayed as one company complains of thirst (random event). In sorting this out, the mutineer commanders failed to spot a naval gun positioned next to the building. (it hadn't deployed yet) Imagine their horror as their ranks are swept by grapeshot.<br />

The naval gunners have their own problem as sparks from the gun set fire to the building next to them (another random event). <br />

The 9th regiment step-out around the house, deploy toface some sepoy rabble who get in their way. There are enough command cards in the next line to do a "thin red line" on them. It was over so quickly there wasn't time to take a photograph.<br />

The 9th regiment sweeps around to take the mutineer formation in the flank. A combination of grapeshot to the front (shock doubled), and crashing volleys to the flank (shock doubled and doubled again) is more than any troops could be expected to stand. Their commander order them to retire. Victory to the British, long live the queen!</div>

Perhaps to our surprise, Sharp Practice works better on a small table than on a large one, and we will be playing it this way from now on.<br />

The first game in this campaign was a thrashing for the humans, we were down 12 honour points.<br />
<br />
So, we sent the elders to the mountain, and they beseeched Ara (the creator god); what shall we do?<br />
<br />
Ara spake unto them, and they returned to the tribe waiting down in the valley with his words.<br />
<br />
They told the tribe "we must get dogs". "What are dogs?" asked the tribe. The elders weren't sure, but mumbled something about "wolves-that-don't-eat-you".<br />
<br />
Surely a job for crazy Ela! If she get eaten, no great loss. But in fact, she returns with a pack of wolves-that-don't-eat-her. I think we are ready.<br />
<br />
In Scenario 2, the objective is to chase mammoths off the appropriate end of the valley and into your traps. Ara (the creator god) gave us a gift in scenario one, where the Neanderthals with their little stumpy legs had to chase around looking for spoor. Here in scenario two he has smiled on us again, because chasing mammoths is surely a job for a clean limbed, upright species.<br />
<br />
Below is the valley, with a family of mammoths thinking about the long trek back north to the Doggerland grass plains. <br />

The game ended with an 11 point victory for humanity, leaving us with a deficit of one point going into scenario three.<br />
<br />
No shown in these cave paintings was a tussle between the Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons wich was too horrible to be recorded for posterity.<br />
<br />
The Neanderthals did comment that invoking divine help was unsporting, but they are not a spiritual people.</div>

We have been enjoying the <i>Primeval </i>expansion to Mana Press' <i>Tribal </i>rules. So we decided to try out "The Hunt" campaign starting with scenario 1, Tracking.<br />
<br />
This was also a change to try out my newly made Primeval mat, which represents the fried out ice age plains of what is now southern France.<br />
<br />
In this scenario, a tribe of Neanderthals, led by the one they know only as "Spoke", and Wolf clan of cro-magnons must try to uncover the mammoth spoor under one of the four leafy bushes (see below).<br />

So inevitably, it came to hand-to-hand combat. I couldn't bring myself to take any more pictures. Basically the humans were clubbed senseless by the tough little Neanderthals.

This game was a clash between a Soviet Spetsnaz (level 6) squad and Mujahideen freedom fighters somewhere in Afghanistan in 1983. Both sides rolled the 'command' scenario.<br />

The Spetsnaz deployed first hoping to dominate the primary objective (The rocket launcher)<br />

With the flowing moves that OSC does so well, a Mujahideen fighter advances to cover the same ground, not noticing that Vladimir had sprinted up to 'double tap' him from the rear.<br />

Learning the lesson, the Mujahideen positioned sniper to dominate the road, there he annoyed the Soviets for the rest of the game. <br />

But a brave Mujahideen runs up to fire an RPG into the compound. One feature of OSC is the noone carrying an RPG lives for very long, as he is promptly shot down in a hail of AK fire. <br />

The Soviets are still trying to outflank the Mujahideen, and are gunning them down in huge numbers. If we had not added a new rule (see below) the skirmish would have ended about now.. <br />

When suddenly, and most unexpectedly, a herd of cows goes wandering by. This opportunity is used by a Spetsnaz to 'snatch' a wounded chopper pilot.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A wounded solder is also dragging a box of ammunition back to the BTR, but being wounded doesn't make it before the battle is over.<br />

At the last moment a brave Mujahideen dashes through a hail of fire to claim the main objective for a Mujahideen win. <br />

Another great game, and we all agree that OSC has a great feel to it and is enjoyable at the same time.<br />
<br />
We realised that for this game the points system wasn't working as the Mujahideen at level 3 and 4 only had one extra soldier. But we really didn't want to mess the simple point systems, so what we did is add a new Command Action.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
New Action; Call for reinforcements.</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A commander can select one solder from the dead pile. He then rolls a six sided dice, if the result is equal to or greater than the level of the solder, he is placed on the friendly deployment point. If the result is less than the level of the soldier no one turn up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our rational was that the lower the level of soldier, the more likely he was to have some friends nearby, while better a solder gets, the more likely he is to be behind enemy lines and cut off from support.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We agreed this fixed the point system neatly and I think we will have this a permanent house rule.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope the evil bear doesn't mind too much.</div>

I bought two of Amera's Plastic buildings (<a href="http://www.amera.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.amera.co.uk/</a>). They come as vacuum formed plastic, but I had bigger plans.</div>

Set in 1585, the Scottish Hume clan are raiding the English village of little Bigglesworth in the West March. The aim for the Hume reivers is to get as many cows off to Scotland as possible, the localsneed to get the cows into the village. Each side gets one point for each cow saved or reived, in addition, one point for each enemy incapacitated. At the end of the game, one die is rolled for each point and the highest total wins.<br />
<br />
The rules are the quixotic <a href="http://www.ganeshagames.net/product_info.php?products_id=226" target="_blank"><i>Battlesworn</i></a> by Ganesha games <br />
<br />
I created one new class for this game: A pistolier. Is like an arquebus, but adds one die to shooting and two close combat.<br />
<br />
Here is the village of Little Bigglesworth, considered by its inhabitants to be too close to the border with Scotland.<br />

Lieutenant Al-fonso and I had another playtest of the Spectre Miniatures beta rules. This was a custom scenario set in the early 1989 as a Portuguese peacekeeping force intervene in the fictional state of Maroubra. The Portuguese have been ordered to get documentary evidence of Cuban intentions. The objective below is a M.U.M.P.S (Marxist United Maroubran Peoples syndicate) base camp.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If the number of painted miniatures is anything to go by, I have an abiding interest in post-war and near futures games set in Africa (I don't do present day conflicts, its too confronting).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Clearly, I don't have enough figures though, because I signed up for the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1660604196/spectre-miniatures" target="_blank">Spectre Miniatures Kickstarter</a> to get some more. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To go along with the cool miniatures, Spectre are producing some <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1660604196/spectre-miniatures" target="_blank">rules</a>, currently in beta. Now these rules are quite close to a set I produced called "Combat Stress". However, I stopped developing these as I wanted to play the rules, not be responsible for writing them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My hope is that the <em>Spectre Operations</em>, can fill a gap between Flying Lead (which can only handle a squad), and Battlefield Evolution. Anyway, Mr. Wong and I decided to give the rules a playtest</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For reasons I will explain later, this report, is very short, but as far as we can judge from an early beta, the rules look pretty good.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Having said that, I have suggested a few ideas to the rule's authors that we tested out: these being:</div>
<ol>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Instead body armour making you a harder target, it subtracted one from the lethality roll</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Instead of the shooter having to equal or exceed the defenders score to hit the shooter had to exceed the score (this made shooting elite troops harder)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Instead of a lethality roll of '1' being a 'lucky miss', we made it a 'light wound' causing two suppression</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
We didn't reduce suppression in the shooting phase. Actually we forgot, but this step seems redundant.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
When Suppression exceeded command, a soldier panics. 'Panic' means they were moved by the opponent in his or her turn. A panicking soldier most both move 6" away from all enemy and end its move in cover, or else gain one more suppression.</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At this stage there is only one scenario, which is for some militia to get a high value asset to safety while being pursued by some special forces. The battlefield is shown below.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidwAu91iLPspuhUU-FzeryrZQOqbZa0t9M-9Y-uD67XqrnpaVBAZNhZj5dn5GtR_BBU41Zvxe-IhrrUi66qulQzE2EhUbbEKX77ESlueEedg_Kou7HwR4nJrf_nutygGgIEgbZV5zfhIA/s640/blogger-image--301032376.jpg" width="480" /></div>
<br />
In the centre of this shot is the high value asset, the local warlord's family. The militia fighter in the red beret is a Big Man. In these rules each leader adds 'Warlord Perks' to your force. Thinking about how to escape, I bought these from the Warlord List:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Veteran Commander: which lets you seize the initiative</li>
<li>Lucky: which lets your commander dodge a bullet</li>
<li>Tip off: which allows you to see the enemy coming and rearrage your forces</li>
<li>And four lots of Guerrilla Force: which lets Militia move though terrain without hindrance for a whole turn.</li>
</ul>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is Seargent McWongs force of near-future English (assuming the UK ceases to exist in September) special forces. I believe these figures are from Hasslefree. The 200 points in the scenario only allowed for four trooper to complete the mission of "neutralising the warlords family"; classy.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is another operator, quickly updating his Facebook status before going into action. McWong had a plan to win this game quickly, he used his Command Assets to enlist an "Airborne Sniper" to do the dirty work for them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
In these rules the soldiers are What-you-see-is-what-you-get; that meant I could only give two of my militia grenades, so I had to use them wisely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigycV4FeDsfhAYJ1A2jwub7ED8_g3_0FFrkBaswfCm54TXUiGAUJ5YOPXXNyoeKBTDCSy2wT5yvKkBBHsjrbEAmW84m5AJ6VJgxddGfE2T5_NnrFm8Zi8Q9Gmm9R-7NT_VUwUlFQuWy5w/s400/blogger-image-1133883706.jpg" width="400" /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Mu plan was to set up small security teams, each with a big-man in charge, around the perimeter of the battlefield. Militia, don't fight very well, but I was hoping the volume of fire would supress the enemy to the point they became ineffective.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here is my Warlord (who is also a very big man). If he looks confused, it is because he is; but in the end he decides the best way to get his family to safely is to move them through the laneway towards the long end of the battlefield.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Calling out to his family to dash across the open ground is met with the reply "are you crazy, can you see that helicopter over there?"</div>

When you are protected by brave men like these though, what can go wrong?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
'What can go wrong' becomes immediately apparent when the sniper in the helicopter takes a bead on the moving target and... misses the missus. Blimy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Looks like the special forces will have to do the job after all and they start to move in; the problem is there are enough of the militia making their command rolls and going on 'overwatch'. Here we see an operator hit (and having two suppression 'rocks'). He will bleed out in four turns, and has not friends to help him, so he decided to run off table to get picked up by a Blackhawk. Fair enough.</div>

What happened next was too horrible to photograph. All of the operators were supressed, except for the sniper, who my troops couldn't get a clear shot at. The sniper competed the operators mission by shooting the 'target'. In hindsight they should have gone through the building instead of the laneway.<br />
<br />
The prognosis, both Mr Wong and myself liked the rules, they are fast and easy, and don't try to simulate 'battlefield friction' with convoluted game mechanics (FoF I am looking at you).<br />
<br />
One criticism is that it was so easy to lob grenades. Perhaps Grenades and PRGs should need a command roll to 'prep' them before firing.<br />
<br />
I will be interested in how these rules progress.<br />

Well, if you are going to do a science fiction wargame, there is no point in fighting through a complex rules that simulate something we can no nothing about. May as well keep it simple, and rules don't get much simpler that <em>Songs of Blades and Heroes</em>.<br />
<br />
It was a battle of the franchises with Mark's <em>Trade Federation</em> versus my <em>Starship Troopers</em> (we heard that service guarantees citizenship). By in large the <em>Trade Federation</em> droids has high Q, while the <em>Troopers</em> have high C and longer-ranged weapons.<br />
<br />
The one deviation from the standard rules, borrowed from <em>Flying Lead</em>, was that groups can be formed by characters within a short distance of each other, instead of in base to base contact.<br />
<br />
The battle took place around an army camp guarding a road.<br />

Because roads still need to be guarded, even in the future, if the Trade Federation is to peddle its tacky wares. The APC is a terrain piece since the Troopers seem to have lost the keys at some point.<br />

With careful planning, and good dice rolls, I get into the camp before the Trade Federation get to move much at all. Here two troopers take a breather before engaging the metal menaces before us.<br />

As mentioned, the battle programming in the Trade Federation robots is a bit wonky, and they have barely moved.<br />

I have found that the best way to remember who is who, is to match up pictures of the soldiers with their statistics. I got the names from "<a href="http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/portuguese" target="_blank">Behind the Names</a>". website</div>

Mid way though our last game of <a href="http://www.lead-adventure.de/index.php?topic=63797.0" target="_blank">Flying Lead</a>, I started to get the impression that the super-Rhodesians; great troops as they were, were still moving faster, and shooting further than my poor ZIRPA cadres. We soon found out the reason why. Happy Wanderer was using longer measuring sticks than me. <br />

Here is a picture of him, in his lurid yellow battle shorts, trimming his measuring sticks down to size mid-battle.<br />

The verdict. Building this was fun. It is almost a miracle how all the parts fit together. It took about three hours to build. Despite being mostly paper, the kit is very strong.<br />
