Yesterday’s game part two

 We finished the VBCW game from last week-

My tank which was destroyed last week was now marked atmospherically with one of those electric tea lights! My opponent had added this wee detail which flickered during the game as a reminder of my misadventures.
I didn’t take as many photos as I would have liked getting caught up in the action. Here we see my opponents advancing through heavy fire.
The aftermath of a charge by my Gurkha unit who annihilated their opponents in hand to hand combat.
Shortly after they succumbed to concentrated enemy fire.
My throwing of ones and twos was unfortunately excellent yesterday, I well exceeded my usual quota.
The game ended with my forces greatly diminished and my opponent occupying the road junctions which were part of the victory conditions. All in all a good fun game in good company, who could ask for more…

  1. Great photos. Looks like you had a great time and good game despite rolling all those "1s" and "2s". Sometime that's just happenn, and I usually think that it shows a unit in poor condition.
    The damage token made on a flickering LED tea-light is very effectful. I saw it first on the TerrainTutor YouTube channel, and made some of my own. I've also used the electrics from such a light to make a brazier for one of my Garden Railway wagons I use during winter time.

  2. The dice Gods were certainly not on your side, but it matters little when it was a good game with good company.
