Skirmish March 20

Oh the wonderful thing about Tiggers......

A few Sunday's ago 3 Rejects Lee, Postie and myself visited the first Skirmish of the year at Sidcup. 

We usually visited the twice yearly show as buyers, but this year as the feature was WWII, 

I suggested to Lee that we should perhaps put on a game of "What a Tanker"

I could see the lightbulb moment in Lee's eyes and he readily agreed to put on a game.

Numbers were certainly down, but it was to be expected with people staying away because of the 

Corona virus, but we all had a great time!

All the games were supposed to be set in the Early War 1940 France. Lee didn't have enough tanks ready, so we time travelled along to 1944.

I played the German's and had 1 Tiger hidden.

Postie had 4 tanks.

Postie had to come find me???

I was in the woods to the right of the church, just waiting for Postie to appear.

 

Postie moved into range and its the Tigers's turn next. All I throw were reload and aim marker!

But now they've spotted me!

Posties trying for the flanks?

Next go and its a boom!!

 

Poor farmer, fancy squashing all his corn!!! 

Great homemade smoke marker from Lee.

 

Oh gawd, Posties got the first turn with his Firefly!

Not sure what was being said here, but it looks inportant!

Top centre and bottom, I had hoped to have knocked out another British tank by now?

No Postie you can't go through the doors!!

 

Now he's squashing the cabbages!

Postie is a jammy git.

He threw very well this turn, not only going first but he could fire and reload 3 bloody times!

Which resulted in my Tiger going up in flames!

So that was the end of the first game!!

 

Col Bill doing his thang!!!

I pent a large wedge of cash at Col Bill's

We had to go searching in his van for my soon to be goodies!!

Posties spending loads of dosh at Debris of War.

We all spent heavy here as well, they do make some great stuff!

Reject Game No 2 We swapped sides

I was given a Cromwell

and a Churchill

Things carried on the same as the first game with Postie throwing some awesome dice.

My tanks heading on down the road.

I decided to get some cover, with Posties dice I needed it.

 

Oh dear, my Cromwell goes up in smoke.

But surly I'm safe behind the burning vehicle and hedge?

I ain't taking no chances, leg it!!!

I make it thorugh the gap in the hedge to another field, just need to move first next turn and get into a better position.

Shit hot Postie shoots, but luckily I save the damage.

 

He throws shit hot dice again giving him 3 shots at me.

There's no towl to even throw in!

Evil Postie does it again!
