WWI - French Assault of German Trench system - Nivelle Offensive 1917

 

The battle played out over two nights. First night, late start as the French\Germans had to do planning before we could truly begin. We played two hours after that and got in all the preliminary bombardment (3 days) and 3 turns. We then finished (or nearly finished) on the second night and got through 5 more turns. This is a long battle report and I hope you make it the end!

Mecha Monday : More Stompy-Bot Goodness

 More Stompy-Bot Goodness

Been sorting out the basement playroom, and I came across a box I've had ages but don't play. So I did. GKR, Heavy Hitters, this was a kickstarter from Weta Workshop that just went crazy Set-up for two forces, green vs yellow Yellow's main mech Green's main mech The game is based in a corporate-world mech violence mixed with advertising/tv. So the goal is to 'tag' buildings with Ads to gain sponsorship (extra perk cards), when the building is tagged enough it collapses. The winner either collapses four buildings or takes out the opponents main mech.

When the Earth finally returned to its lost colonies, it did not return as a friend, but as a conqueror. The New Earth Commonwealth (NEC) government knew that the colonies would not welcome them back with open arms after hundreds of years of abandonment.

Mecha Monday: BATTLEFIELD PILSEN: GEAR UP 4: Peace River

The most important city in the wastelands and a symbol of defiance and freedom is undoubtedly the Peace River. Built into the wall of a giant table mountain and protected by a 350m high retractable shield that is able to repel any attack on the Peace River, perhaps except for orbital bombing.

Almost the entire southern hemisphere of Terrain is controlled by a group of states called the Allied Southern Territories (AST). AST is definitely not an equal alliance like CNCS. Southern Republic once occupied neighboring states and, with the help of the Curia AST - Council of State, controls the entire alliance.

Shockwave Darkside

This falls under the "Bad Movie, good wargame category : Shockwave Darkside: Using GZGs  Moongrunt forces or some such, would make for an enjoyable game.....

The movie it's self is a rather low tech (in computer graphics anyway) affair with mediocre acting at best. It's translation to table top play would be IMO very easily done :)

From the film bio:

It is the last, great war. Out of the wreckage of a troop transport, five soldiers on the way to battle find themselves stranded on the dark side of the moon. Cut off and behind enemy lines, they start a dangerous journey through snipers and minefields back to their home territory. As their numbers dwindle and nerves fray, they make an amazing discovery about the moon that just might save their lives.
