Rapid Fire: Claim the Villages
Wednesday, January 18, 2023
More Rapid Fire
I played around with another scenario out of the Normandy Battlegame's book, Ian and Phil as the Americans again and Nigel and I repeated our role as the Germans. At 400 points each it was quite a large game with the objective being to control the village in the 'almost' centre of the table. Control of each house was worth 1victory point, the Church and Churchyard 2 vp and the large factory 3 vpts. We set ourselves a target of 15 turns but only managed 9.

Back to Rapid Fire
We haven't played Rapid Fire for some months but today we returned to the game with a heavily adapted scenario based on the 'Cambes' scenario from the Normandy Battlegame's book. We had to replace the British troops with Ian's American forces. I also had to swap the terrain about a bit as I did not have enough road sections. As suggested in the book we allocated points values to all the main buildings and crossroads but played a straight, who was in control of the most points after 16 turns.
Ian and Phil were in charge of the Americans whilst Nigel and I were the Germans.

General De Brigade in 25mm
For our first game of 2023 Nigel had very kindly invited us over for a game of General de Brigade using his wondeerful 'old school' collection of MiniFigs, Lamming and Hinchliffe figures.
He even provided lunch, what a legend! The table looked great with lots of well painted resin buildings adding to the overall atmosphere. Nigel had also cooked up an imaginary scenario of British v French fighting over two objectives, a village and a large hill. The dice decided that Phil and I commanded the French with Ian and Nigel in charge of the British. The two sides were fairly symmetrical in design with a few slight differences in troop quality. Phil and Nigel ended up fighting over the village whilst Ian and I contested the Hill, a far simpler objective.
