Then the capital ships came into range. The Rebels tried to use their greater speed and manoeuvrability to evade my main front batteries but I got enough salvoes into the destroy two of their ships. And whilst one of my Victory class ISDs had taken quite a bit of damage they couldn't bring enough resources to bear to finish it off before the end of the game.</p><p>Here are a couple of photos from the game:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Once again this is something of an eclectic list!</p>
<p>First the <b>Stage 4</b> Projects (see my <a href="https://thewargameshed.blogspot.com/2009/12/project-categorisation.html" target="_blank">Project Categorisation</a> post):</p>
<h4>German Revolution</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSF4XrWtgAGe6Yutnv2m00SVE_mvBpQL8hrVWTzN-IJEMWMgQ5HDeLMXVCHlEDO2XrFLmJ7Vu4QzT8HISTY3550N_ItaFlrZuCnJ9AExIPMRaTb-HfG56r4CJuKpYacuvE21lVyClRFL4TSxHyI-3zbGLZs1PiO-cFjgmeHAB5pPoFCkDjiQ/s898/F+S.webp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="898" data-original-width="630" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSF4XrWtgAGe6Yutnv2m00SVE_mvBpQL8hrVWTzN-IJEMWMgQ5HDeLMXVCHlEDO2XrFLmJ7Vu4QzT8HISTY3550N_ItaFlrZuCnJ9AExIPMRaTb-HfG56r4CJuKpYacuvE21lVyClRFL4TSxHyI-3zbGLZs1PiO-cFjgmeHAB5pPoFCkDjiQ/w140-h200/F+S.webp" width="140" /></a></div>
I am pleased to say that my German Revolution project covering some of the unrest in Germany following the end of the Great War has progressed to the point I can get it to the table.<br /><p>I am still planning to use the <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/311098/freikorps-und-spartacist-wargame-rules-german-civi" target="_blank">Freikorps und Spartacist</a> rules by Stephen Danes which, as will be obvious from the title, are specifically for the period. My figures are mostly from the TSUBA Miniatures <a href="https://www.empressminiatures.com/german-revolution-63-c.asp" target="_blank">German Revolution range</a> available from Empress and will be supplemented by appropriate other armed and unarmed civilians from my existing collection. I have also put together some appropriate period specific table elements and markers.</p>
<h4>Rif War</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXCPWjrQcwZjFPZbdSngUbiUSRkwwne-SyIL8PE_AvK2SZhTx2V8CaMU_6UVYI9GoNx8ry73nTlZbS8n3iZAR3oYEg02RGQkwXk8dtTl1DUn5nkUabQpVrrjnEthjmMrXvJMId_rvGQFEfuTAXDREEN2NJp4oKpswxkPcYSwv_KubZqGfgNg/s1360/Rif.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="880" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXCPWjrQcwZjFPZbdSngUbiUSRkwwne-SyIL8PE_AvK2SZhTx2V8CaMU_6UVYI9GoNx8ry73nTlZbS8n3iZAR3oYEg02RGQkwXk8dtTl1DUn5nkUabQpVrrjnEthjmMrXvJMId_rvGQFEfuTAXDREEN2NJp4oKpswxkPcYSwv_KubZqGfgNg/w129-h200/Rif.jpeg" width="129" /></a></div>My next interwar project, this time coving elements of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rif_War" target="_blank">Rif War</a> in Morocco. I am pleased to say that, with the sole exception of some heavy weapons this is now ready to get to the table. The Moroccans and Berbers are from <a href="https://www.artizandesigns.com/" target="_blank">Artizan Designs</a> (from their March or Die and First World War ranges respectively) and the French troops are from the <a href="https://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/WW1_The_Woodbine_Design_Company--category--222.html" target="_blank">Woodbine Designs WW1 range</a> by Gripping Beast and my existing Spanish are from <a href="https://www.empressminiatures.com/" target="_blank">Empress Miniatures</a>.<div>I am planning to use the <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/379704/beyond-empire-wargames-rules-engagements-small-for" target="_blank">Beyond the Empire</a> rules from Partizan Press for the first game.</div>

Here's the background from the player briefing:<p></p><p><i>The Union’s Tullahoma Campaign began on 24 June 1863 with William Rosecrans moving south-east from Murfreesboro, his Army of the Cumberland constantly outmanoeuvring Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee. Within ten days, Bragg had been forced to withdraw through central Tennessee to Chattanooga close to the border with Georgia. The campaign ended on 3 July, in a week that saw the Union victory at Gettysburg and the Confederate surrender of Vicksburg. </i></p><p><i>In mid-August, after resting and re-supplying his army, Rosecrans moved on Chattanooga. Capturing the city would provide a vital rail hub, opening the way to Atlanta. Beginning on 21 August, and over the next two weeks, Union artillery sporadically bombarded the north-east of the city. This kept Bragg's attention whilst the bulk of Rosecrans's army crossed the Tennessee River south-west of Chattanooga. When Bragg learned of this on 8 September, he abandoned Chattanooga and withdrew the Army of Tennessee into Georgia. </i></p><p><i>Rosecrans pursued Bragg, but his Corps became scattered traversing the difficult rocky, wooded terrain. Bragg, having now received reinforcements, planned to attack and overwhelm these isolated elements of the Union army. His plans were poorly executed, but alerted Rosecrans to the threat and he began to concentrate his corps. Bragg resolved not to lose the initiative, forming up the Army of Tennessee near to the Chickamauga Creek by 18 September. He wants to strike the Union left before Rosecrans can fully concentrate his army, additionally cutting them off from Chattanooga. Rosecrans foresees this, ordering forced marches to reinforce his left. </i></p><p><i>Shortly after dawn on 19 September, Bragg launches the first in a series of assaults against the Union lines, opening up the Battle of Chickamauga. Some of the fiercest fighting in the entire battle taking place in and around Viniard Field. </i></p><div>I took command of Heg's brigade who had stumbled across Gregg’s Confederate Brigade in an advance position in the woods. This meant I was in the thick of the action right from the beginning and was hard pressed as more and more Confederate units arrived in front and to the flank of my position.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are some photos from the game:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This time it's the German Revolution, the unrest in Germany following the end of the Great War with the conflict between the far right and left leading to and following on from the transformation of the German Empire into the Weimar Republic.<br /><p>I am planning to use the <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/311098/freikorps-und-spartacist-wargame-rules-german-civi" target="_blank">Freikorps und Spartacist</a> rules by Stephen Danes which, as will be obvious from the title, are specifically for the period. I have purchased a goodly amount of figures from the TSUBA Miniatures <a href="https://www.empressminiatures.com/german-revolution-63-c.asp" target="_blank">German Revolution range</a> available from Empress to be supplemented by appropriate other armed and unarmed civilians from my existing collection.

There was an impressive range of 28mm Dark Ages figures arrayed on the table of which I made a small contribution (along with some suitable buildings).<p></p><p>I took command of two units of Anglo-Saxons on the left wing facing off against a horde of Strathclyde Welsh, Scots and Irish. I was feeling pretty outnumbered and the wily Scot's horse moved around to threaten my flank which didn't help make my position feel any more secure.</p><p>In the end the Welsh were terribly reluctant to get into the fight but the Scot's were up for it and I ended up with a desperate fight outnumbered 2:1. Fortunately a blunder by the Irish commander to my right meant his troops withdrew and freed up the Saxons next to me to come to my rescue. I managed to hold on despite being pushed back to the table edge and having lost my stronger unit. But the Viking assault across on our right wing collapsed and the battle was won there by Athelstan. A most historic result.</p><p>Here are a couple of photos I took on the day:</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrRNX9LPJ5p8iHIGXGJRoBdKas5B_lkGhHDVBygjH2FJfzvvV3_CgyXbbdB9qsyJFMfycQVo9zGYRvV0kivatKR8ODh8zy_2Gr8--0HenT2cYPwOQY3kp6pou4bCD2Bosv2TsCdua9cnsB_MzWwWtJB7a6t4SLdgm8S4tNPHGd2CIDBfhbkA/s1280/IMG_2065.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

Here's the brief:<p></p><p><i>On 13 August 1708 the allied army of Marlborough and Eugene began to besiege Lille. Eugene conducted the siege while Marlborough commanded a covering force. The French King Louis XIV ordered his armies under Vendôme, Burgundy and Berwick to link up and break the siege.

But everyone had a fun game even if we didn't fight the battle to a final conclusion.</p>Whisperin Alhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09869995901983782880noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36753350.post-57448157626432630222023-01-30T18:00:00.001+00:002023-01-30T18:00:00.218+00:00Fistful of Lead: Reloaded<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPiMZLy0HNjp_FgO2eJCTZ2N_IdXAbBIN4ROOfPxUxkO3lPuDeRXjqLMTSD8EYWHPMyx_t01xD3JurKjOb-17htihq9OAwz5TTpwb2wYIV0YayiEu1fW_AK4ahB-SqFdjwRWDEkGhdFlOtv9uah1SdZXVD5fNJD6qtW59x5xFSYNzAzfX9kw/s811/FfoLCover_540x.webp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="811" data-original-width="540" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPiMZLy0HNjp_FgO2eJCTZ2N_IdXAbBIN4ROOfPxUxkO3lPuDeRXjqLMTSD8EYWHPMyx_t01xD3JurKjOb-17htihq9OAwz5TTpwb2wYIV0YayiEu1fW_AK4ahB-SqFdjwRWDEkGhdFlOtv9uah1SdZXVD5fNJD6qtW59x5xFSYNzAzfX9kw/w133-h200/FfoLCover_540x.webp" width="133" /></a></div>For our first club meeting of the year I put on a couple of games of Fistful of Lead: Reloaded. <p></p><div>The scenario was an adaptation of one from the core rulebook with some changes to suit my figures and terrain. The brief went something like this:</div><div><br /></div><div><i>The last stage deposited the railroad construction payroll with the Sheriff for the US Cavalry to escort it the rest of the way. There’s one problem, the cavalry hasn't arrived. This leaves it to the Sheriff and his Deputies to guard it until they do arrive.
Unfortunately news of the payroll’s arrival seems to have become widely known. So to make things difficult for anyone with nefarious intent the Sheriff has hidden the gold and its single cavalry trooper guard in one of the buildings in the town.
</i></div><div><br /></div><div>I then gave each of the factions victory conditions which conflicted with at least two of the others and let the mayhem commence. Unfortunately, there was so much going on I forgot to take many pictures.
