Thank you for the comment! I have enjoyed every other game I have played with these rules (there are more AARs on this blog) but this one didn't gel. Newest) provides a better system for randomly generating the locationĪnd composition of the enemy in a patrol scenario.I probably won't go back to using the Nuts! rules mind you (too much dice rolling), but their Possible-Enemy-Force (PEF) system is pretty great in my opinion. Maybe Nuts! (at least the older versions, I can't speak for the With a sort of vague objective (scout this terrain but give the enemy aīloodier nose than they give you) isn't really ideal.Īs this is the second time I've played scenario J this year, I'veĭecided that the way the blinds appear doesn't work for me. Rules work best when there is a clear objective or turn limit. It was fun, to a point, but I ended up feeling like there were Maybe it was the scenario, but something just didn't work for me for In large part, the Germans benefited from having three leader figures on the table (generated by the tables in Platoon Forward) - a squad NCO, jr. The paras, their numbers slightly reduced, opted to try to further engage the Germans - to their detriment.īlack and white because the new light bulb in the kitchen really washed out the ground cloth in this one. Germans fall back to a defensive position at the farm. One high point for the Brits - the Deetail PIAT trooper made his debut by taking out two Germans with a single HE round. I was playing that the fields were fully grown and limited visibility (this is not part of the OHSW rules). The firefight does not go well for the paratroopers who had split up to enter the fields. In this case, the cow was not the real force. Much less obtrusive and kind of comical even. I stole the idea for using farm animals as blind markers from someone online - I can't remember who, but they are a genius. The lighting is much better in this shot. Paratroopers enter the table in heavy woods. The rules were One Hour Skirmish Wargames, the scenario was "Scenario J" (the patrol) from Platoon Forward. Combined with an itch to field my British paratroopers was all of the motivation I needed to set up a game. Saturday night, after the plastic eggs were hidden for the Sunday morning hunt, I cut up a coconut fiber doormat for use as fields in my games.
