Games

 Yesterday Ronnie and I played our first game of Rapid Fire Reloaded. We had both independently played Rapid Fire back in the day. However I had forgotten the system but RFR is very newbie friendly.

The enemy Sherman shares a similar fate after being hit by a panzerscherck.

My troops lose a melee in the woods , take casualties and have run off.

My starting position. The photo order has gone haywire!

It was an enjoyable introduction to the rules and great fun . We have decided to have another game very soon.

Later on I really enjoyed a game put on by Jon from the War of the Austrian Succession .

Terrible dice throwing by me as the Spanish commander helped the French/Spanish  armies towards defeat. Excellent company and a meticulously managed gaming experience by Jon led to a most enjoyable evening.
