This scenario is in the Battlegroup Kursk book, and is geared towards a demo/learning game of Battlegroup. It’s a Squad sized game, so relatively quick. This is played in 15mm, on a 4×6 table. I’ve matched the table the best I could, along with the army lists. The minor change I’ve made is a Soviet T-60 instead of T-70, as I didn’t have a T-70 painted.

Evan is on a quest to get a French DLM force on the table. Naturally this will involve a rework of the Chain of Command support lists to tailor them to the specific unit because he can’t leave well enough alone!

Things are happening at the Iron Dice Thunderdome. If you get the reference you have our respect and sympathy (in equal measure). And yes, I’ve hit a nerd milestone. I have emailed a foreign government asking for photographs. Fingers crossed… Continue reading …whatcha got there?
The American 101st Airborne, backed up by a small contingent of tank destroyers and Shermans valiantly defended the town from dug in foxholes in the woods and the crumbled buildings and farms at the edges of town. Breaking through the fog a motley collection of German forces lined up to make a big push and break the defender’s backs. Continue reading Battle for Bastogne Part 2 of 2 – The Game

Continue reading Battle of Bastogne Table – Part 1 of 2 “Staged Pictures”
Evan came to Wisconsin to visit me in early June this past summer. Early war Chain of Command and indulgence in some general tomfoolery were on the docket.
In town we have the local branch of a chain liquor store (maybe liquor paradise) called Total Wine and Liquor. We decided some libations were in order and promptly made a run to stock the drink refrigerator. Continue reading The World War II Beer Sampler
The Rubicon Tiger II was a beast of a kit. I really enjoyed digging into the history of the vehicle and finding a way to paint it up.
