The Great War - 10/1/11

Well several of us showed up at The Game Matrix this morning and got in a nice rules familiarization of The Great War. We ran through most of the rules except for Pinning, for some reason or another. One thing we seemed to have gotten wrong last time was the firing of the 57mm cannon from the A7V. It appears, Pat L. got it wrong with using the direction dice after setting the blast marker. Apparently the direction dice isn't used after placing the marker after a successful hit. Anyway, Tom D. played his French against my Germans on one side of the table. While Bruce M. with an almost identical force of Germans on the other side went up against James' British. A couple of other gaming buds read up on the rules for us when we had a gray area - actually quite a few times really.

Bruce's larger A7V (not sure of the maker, but it's about 1:48 scale), and matching large Renegade figures.

Here's a close up of my Old Glory A7V with new markings on the front.

Here the Germans on my side of the table are taking the first British trench. They were soon decimated.

A few turns later had the German infantry practically wiped out, with only the tanks and HMG crews left. We decided we probably need to play out this scenario a few more times; and likely aren't ready to host a game at Museum of Flight.
