Last night's game of a Chain of Command, from Jasper's scenario in the latest WSS Magazine where British paratroops hold the Oosterbeek Perimeter against strong German attacks supported by a King Tiger!

I finished this French 1st Rate ship earlier in the week from the collection my mate Simon sent over. It's a @warlordgames 1/700th scale kit and took to the seas on Thursday night in her first action against Dex.

As is the way with all brand new wargaming units she was utterly battered by the enemy and struck her colours, along the way her captain was decapitated by a ball. A glorious start to her career at sea.

L'Gras sailed out of port for the first time in years accompanied by two third rates. Running into the Royal Navy, L'Gras was pounded from all sides until she struck. More cannon fire ended in a glorious victory for the Royal Navy. Rotting in port was probably a better choice for L'Gras...More playtesting of The Full Nelson. #spreadthelard #navalwargaming #wargaming

Square Bashing yesterday with Dean. The Battle of Bourlon Wood, November 1917. British forces attack German held positions in the high ground of Bourlon village, Bourlon Wood and Fontaine village. A steady advance on the objectives under the cover of accurate artillery fire left the Germans on the back foot and surrendering their lines. Cut telephone wires impeded the German artillery response as the British tanks pushed into the woods. #wargaming #ww1 #peterpig #tanks #worldwarone

A game of Lasalle 2 tonight to introduce Dex to the game. his spirited French assault on my British lines failed to gain any headway despite repeated column attacks. a great fast play game that comes to a conclusion in a couple of hours. #napoleonicwargaming #wargaming #napoleonic

Two wrecks from Warlord games Black Seas scenery pack. These will serve as objectives or even obstacles in The Full Nelson. #navalwargaming #wargaming #sinkingfeeling #baleout

Last week I was in France and Belgium with the Little War TV guys conducting a tour of some First World War battlefields and Waterloo. After Waterloo we got a chance to play a game of Real Time Wargaming hosted by the writer, Claus. It was a really interesting experience, the rules are based on timers allowing commanders to act and command those units around them, but there's quite a lot of nuance as well. It's an interesting concept and one I'd like to return to at some point.
