Great stuff Tom - love those Perry Prussian figures. I played a Ligny and a Waterloo scenario in June with my Prussians and managed to lose both.

Good to see you back on track with the West Germans Tom.

I sent my better troops against his right and hoped to destroy some of his artillery on the left with counter battery fire. I ended up losing 3 guns to his 1 in the artillery duel, and the 54th Mass. 24 Mi & 90th Illinois were decimated trying to take the high ground. A bad day for the Union.

Thanks.

Thanks. The British & Soviets are long done, but these have been in the queue for 4 years or so. That’s me finished with any more forces - mind you those Danish Centurions look nice…. Really liking your Modern stuff in 28mm.

Having already taken 25% casualties, the Union thought better of assaulting and withdrew - I would never have taken this decision in a one-off game, but the campaign situation meant I had to think of the next game. A big thumbs up for Longstreet once again.

Skilfully executed Confederate spoiling attacks meant that the Rebs were in a strong defensive position by the time the Union was ready to assault.

Coming along nicely Tom. My W German decals arrived today so I’ll be able to finish off most of the armour at the weekend. Just Leopard 2s & choppers to do after that.

Excellent

Ah right - I have some of their WW2 stuff. Looks to scale ok with the BF models as well. I’ll have a look - thanks.

Thanks Tom - quick question - the Soviet Recce BMPs that were in your recent AAR - did you convert them?

Snap Tom - working on the same models myself this week.

Thanks Tom - yes - 15mm on a 6x4. Look forward to the PDF. Norman.

Epic report Tom and a great read. I’d certainly be interested in seeing the scenario details, though we play on a 6x4 table so would probably have to scale the forces down slightly.

Absolutely. With lower model count 7 Days was meant to be an interim game for us while I painted up enough models for a game of NorthAG. Unfortunately, I went off the deep end and painted enough for NorthAG in record time so 7 Days never got a look in. Maybe someday.

Lovely models. Yes, the AA rolls are always tense. I’m still dining out on the one time I shot down a Hind with a MANPAD. 😀

You can transport in Airborne as reinforcements (and I’m sure Warwick does in one of the AARs on his Blog) but it’s risky as they have to run the AA gauntlet to disembark. My British Paras are all in one Chinook so high risk/high reward - though they have yet to make an appearance in a game.

My worry with 7DTTRR (even though we want to give it a go) is the lack of Soviet tanks on the table using the points system. NorthAG encourages units of 10 Soviet tanks to economise on orders which seems closer to reality. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve tried it of course.

Funnily enough, we were just saying today that we should try 7DTTRR after playing only NorthAG with the WW3 models so far. Transport helicopters in the basic scenario only appear as reinforcements and aren’t guaranteed. Attack helicopters are reinforcements but can appear randomly as well.
