Medieval Spain: El Cid. A Grab Bag of Games. 8230;A Few Good…errr.Chosen Men. January 19, 2017. February 28, 2017. One rule set that has been on Osprey’s release list for a while has been their Napoleonic skirmish system, Chosen Men. The rules don’t cost much and they promise an easy one stop system for quick pick up and play Napoleonic skirmishes…so how do they look. Showing the actual rules and a flick through and it’s worthwhile checking it out to see what it is you actually get. However, the troop pr...

...And Slowly and Surely They Drew Their Plans Against Us.: Vicksburg Campaign: First Shots Fired in Bolivar County (Bill's game)
http://drewtheirplansagainstus.blogspot.com/2015/07/vicksburg-campaign-first-shots-fired-in.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Vicksburg Campaign: First Shots Fired in Bolivar County (Bill's game). Bill from the AQMF forums asked to participate in the Vicksburg Campaign, despite living quite a distance from me. Quite flattering! I've hosted some of his stuff here before, so I figured why not? The Overseers have determined that the recently conquered human settlement known as "Memphis" shall host an unstoppable Legion which will break out to the north and east of the city. Vast forces have been building...

...And Slowly and Surely They Drew Their Plans Against Us.: August 2015
http://drewtheirplansagainstus.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2015. Return to Panther Burn - Vicksburg Campaign. Tritchel now faced another choice. The Martian force was rushing to Panther Burn. Reinforcements from Col. O'Malley in the north were rushing south to meet him as well. He could wait, and face a much larger force, but with fresh men and tanks that he sorely needed, or he could strike fast, right now, and hope to cut off the Martians by retaking Panther Burn before the Martians arrived. Yet it would not be easy to get to. A gamble - a t...

...And Slowly and Surely They Drew Their Plans Against Us.: Salvage Operation: Vicksburg Campaign Double-Header Part I
http://drewtheirplansagainstus.blogspot.com/2015/07/salvage-operation-vicksburg-campaign.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. Salvage Operation: Vicksburg Campaign Double-Header Part I. After the Battle of Panther Burn. Full scenario and OOB at the bottom of the post. The Booty: Abandoned tanks, artillery pieces, and supply dumps. Captain Tritchel orders his men forward to grab what they can before the Martians show. Rough Riders go for the ammo. Turn 2, still no Martian patrol. Some doughboys take the coal for the tanks. The tanks escape, but the Tripod stalks other prey, the big Heavy Howitzers. No on...

...And Slowly and Surely They Drew Their Plans Against Us.: The Battle of Bolivar County - Vicksburg Campaign at Gencon
http://drewtheirplansagainstus.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-battle-of-bolivar-county-vicksburg.html
Saturday, August 8, 2015. The Battle of Bolivar County - Vicksburg Campaign at Gencon. I'm happy to present an after-action report for the big AQMF game at Gencon, hosted by my buddy Bill from the bowels of the Alien Dungeon. Forums. It was a big 4600 pt, 8-player game, and a part of my ongoing Vicksburg Campaign. The briefings provided to the players, as well as the full order of battle follows the report below. Enjoy! While we've been mostly following the exploits of Major Wilhelm Tritchel. Drones were...

...And Slowly and Surely They Drew Their Plans Against Us.: May 2015
http://drewtheirplansagainstus.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2015. Bolt Action: Second Attempt. The Germans deployed into cover. The tank, MGs, officer, and a unit of regulars was held in reserve. My sniper team took up positions on the second floor of this building for better line of sight. As my units activated, I advanced them into more forward (and better) cover, taking the odd shot at the American infantry across the road. On the second turn, I brought up my Panzer, advancing and using the MGs against Nate's infantry. I got my veteran infantry...

Medieval Spain: El Cid. A Grab Bag of Games. 8230;three month update. December 30, 2016. December 30, 2016. Yep, three months since the last post…the intermittent blogger.

In 2017 the plan is to go BIG! Things have been set in motion and purchases have been made…time to order that wide screen monitor! In no particularly order…. Here we ...

...And Slowly and Surely They Drew Their Plans Against Us.: Crash Landing: Vicksburg Double-Header Part II
http://drewtheirplansagainstus.blogspot.com/2015/07/crash-landing-vicksburg-double-header.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Crash Landing: Vicksburg Double-Header Part II. Even as Major Tritchel's company gathers up its newly won supplies and equipment, an American surveillance plane is plummeting to the earth under heavy Martian fire. His men load up the supplies and rush to intercept it. This is the second part of a linked scenario, part of the Vicksburg Campaign. Check out Part I. The plane is at dead center. Tritchel orders his forces forward. The only thing that can get range on the scout is the h...

...And Slowly and Surely They Drew Their Plans Against Us.: Dreadfleet Treasure Hunt
http://drewtheirplansagainstus.blogspot.com/2015/08/dreadfleet-treasure-hunt.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. Apparently Dreadfleet is not a very popular game among GW fans. I don't understand it myself. I mean, sure, it's not a hardcore wargame, but it's wicked fun. Like Pirates of the Caribbean with Dwarven Ironclads and whatnot. And the models are just gorgeous! One of the things people don't like about this game is the randomness. Like the randomness of a "Sea Giant" rising up out of the deep to wreck havoc on the fleets. Personally, I am amused by it. We reset with new forces. In...
