A lovely looking battle report created in the style of those action comics we all loved so much when we were young. Thanks to Paul from the movealongnownothingtoseehere blog for permission to reproduce it here.
Action from the Small Sagas blog, where they re-fight the first scenario from the IABSMv3 rulebook: North of Caen.
Another great IABSM AAR from East Africa in 1941. This time, James Morris describes the desperate fight for Brig's Peak.
A short WW2 battle report from Paul Scrivens-Smith takes us to East Africa. It's 1941, and the British and Italians are fighting for the Cameron Ridge.
A WW2 battle report from Mike Whittacker, with scenario #02 from the IABSMv3 rulebook.
Sapper Joe reports on his first game of Charlie Don't Surf: it's scenario #02 from Surf's Up: Sniper
Great game of Q13 last week. Aphis versus Felids in a screening mission involving the kitty cats desperately trying to hold off a superior frog-force whilst their engineers rig a vital reactor for demolition!
A WW2 battle report from Benito, who is warming up for a Hell's Highway campaign.
​
The third instalment in Grah's Stalingrad campaign. More fierce and bloody fighting.
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.
West of Pierrecourt
The Campoleone Salient
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!
