A few 6mm GWSH snapshots


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.

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.
