Grah continues his Stalingrad campaign with the Soviets counter-attacking. Looks like some nasty FIBUA action!

A first time player's report covering one of the scenarios given in the v3 rulebook: North of Caen.
A rather unsubtle bludgeoning by a Soviet heavy tank company with Yours Truly on the receiving end. Good fun, though.
Although some people are now sending me their battle reports direct*, I do still make sure that I regularly search the Internet to make sure I have reproduced every AAR out there on this site.
This does sometimes cause a few problems as my language skills are sometimes just not up to the task!
Here then is an AAR translated from the Hungarian. Google gave me the base text: all the other mistakes are mine!
The latest episode in my Blenneville or Bust! campaign. The Germans counter-attack, with theschwerepunkt being the small Normandy village of Saint Melotte.
But who would my opponent be? Read the AAR to understand what on earth I'm babbling on about!
A quick, picture heavy AAR, also IABSM!, featuring action within the Kuban Bridgehead: it's 1943 on the Eastern Front.
Two superb After Action Reports from Brian Cantwell, both for I Ain't Been Shot, Mum!
In the first, an American recon force tries to scout ahead in the first scenario from the Blenneville or Bust! scenario pack.
In the second, the Germans counter-attack at Anzio: their target is the Campoleone Salient, scenario 11 from the Anzio: Wildcat to Whale supplement pack.
Benito reports on a game of Charlie Don't Surf in which the Free World Forces come a cropper in a big way. It's scenario #08 from Surf's Up: Rawhide.
I took advantage of the Bank Holiday to get in only my second actual wargame this year: plenty or writing and painting done, but not much gaming as real life bite back with a vengeance.
The game played was one of the scenarios from the Blenneville or Bust! scenario pack: #2B Near Belle Maison. Those of you who favour the Allies and have a nervous disposition may want to look away now!
Nice battle report from Benito covering a Charlie Don't Surf game using one of the scenarios from theSurf's Up scenario pack. This time it's scenario #07: A County Fair.
Nice battle report from Benito covering a Charlie Don't Surf game using one of the scenarios from theSurf's Up scenario pack. Better luck next time, Benito!
Here's the report of a game that John demonstrated at Spring Fever: an early-year wargaming show up in Raleigh, NC, USA.
The first battle in Grah's Stalingrad campaign. Some nice ideas on how to run a campaign, and a great AAR as well.
Excellent news!
I thought I had lost Kev's battle report from the TFL Stalingrad Day way back in 2005: I had failed to slurp all Kev's content and, when he had problems with his own website, the report disappeared.
Now, however, thanks to those clever chaps at the Web Archive, it rises like a phoenix from the ashes. Hoorah!
The fifth and final battle from Craig Ambler's Blenneville or Bust! camapign.
It's the climax of the campaign: with the British trying to take Blenneville itself. Four straight wins so far for the Allies: will they make it the grand slam?
Craig Ambler reports on his fourth game from the Blenneville or Bust! scenario booklet: the Americans attempt to take a German command post situated in the small town of Vartres.
As a side note, the way this game played, not who won or lost, but the way in which the game played, was exactly what I wanted when I wrote the Vartres scenario. I love it when a plan comes together!
Brian Weathersby and crew play scenario 3B from the Vyazma or Bust! scenario pack.
This AAR is subtitled "Men versus Tanks".
Two more game reports from Bagration featuring some brilliant figures and terrain.
Lots and lots...and lots...and lots...of photos!
Craig Ambler reports on his third game from the Blenneville or Bust! scenario booklet: the Americans attempt to break through the German lines Near Chemont. Loads of pictures!
Bagration gives an excellent, photo-heavy account of his first game of IABSM along with a mini-review.
