"No can do Sarge"

Today's adventure was a visit to Playmobile Land aka a friend's flat (think hot air balloon factory) for a 4 player VSF game  using a marvelous (and HUGE) collection of 3" Playmobile figures (as in lots more figures and bits and pieces in storage) using a set of rules designed for 6mm Landships and armies. Seems appropriate, right?

Anyway it was a fun afternoon and a hard fought game between the armies of opposing alliances of fictitious nations. I can't narrate the 4 hour battle, especially as I was too wrapped up to see much of what my ally was doing but the pictures and captions give some idea.

Cotton smoke puff from my gun matches with enemy stand turned to skeletons!

My Anarchists pop up and throw a bomb at the Red Cavalry who fail to notice.

I felt sorry for my wounded and let them sit on a hill to the rear to watch the rest of the battle. The enemy dead were piled high on a back table.

The game nears the end of time. The bridge in the middle remained hotly contested. Gary had occupied the far bridge but Les's brave lads were still steadfastly preventing him from debouching onto the shore. On the near bridge Lawrence had been driven back and my cavalry and volunteer infantry were spreading out and were attacking his supply train having inflicted twice as many losses as they suffered. The enemy  informed us that they were writing the game up as a draw and we were free to publish our own version.
