My second 6mm Great war Spearhead game of the 'season', although I set the game up rather than play - Stan wanted to re-acquaint himself with the rules, and brought along a potential new player, Dave, who had played a couple of WW2 Spearhead games with him, and was interested in the WW1 variant.
The game was simple and unbalanced, really just a 'training run', pitching two French Regiments with plenty of on board artillery against a German division. As a training run it featured a swag of learning for the players, but didn't really offer the opportunity for a good write-up as an AAR, so I thought I'd just present some photos. The miniatures are Irregular 6mm 1914 French and German.

| Germans advance from the right with single French regiment deployed in the ope in defence |
 |
| An interesting firefight developed between the German leading regiment and the defending French |
 |
| The other major firefight between a second German regiment and the left flank of the same French regiment |
 |
| French 75s firing in direct support, but one battery suppressed. The French divisional commander had set ip close to the guns.. interesting deployment. |
thanks Robin , great host

ReplyDeleteOnly problem with my hosting .. I'd organised supper and forgot to bring it out... whew. Stan wil tell you there's usually a scrummy array of cakes with reasonable coffee, or tea, or whisky, afterwards... well there was, I just forgot it.. most unlike me LOL
You must come around and play some more.. next time the 20mm Austro Hungarians vs Russians.
