Summer Games 1

A couple of pictures from this year's games week.

The game was an effort to recreate the German paratroop attack around Prison Valley, Galatas, Crete 1941

Greek troops holding out in and around the prison

The para figures are a mix of Airfix, Revell and Preiser + some conversions

 

Colonial Game

A small colonial game played a couple of weeks ago
Colonial Troops drew the mission "Capture or Killer Leader"
The Tribesmen drew the incredibly rare "Spring the Trap" mission card, which automatically doubles their force size.
French forces suffered %80 casualties, a disaster, though did manage to wound the enemy leader which matters in the next game - stay tuned :)
