Crossfire For Novices

Image
Game 1 For our very first game of crossfire we have two American platoons with mortar support and an attached HMG hiding somewhere on the board. Their force is rated veteran with US/ Commonwealth command and control. The Germans have a full company with mortars in support and 2 HMG's scattered along the treeline, their force has German command and control but the troops are rated only average. Their objective is to capture and hold the hill at the centre of the table. This scenario can be found at  Crossfire For Novices - A Scenario to Introduce Newbies - Steven's Balagan . We tweaked it slightly to accommodate our fewer but larger terrain pieces, which definitely seemed to have an impact on the games!* The German platoon in the southern woods use reconnaissance by fire to uncover an American HMG on the hill, and manage to pin it. Keeping it's focus on them and preventing it from pivoting to interdict any other avenues of approach. Unfortunately it is still able to fire, an...

CLWC One Day Tournament

For my first ever ADLG tournament I decided to take a balanced force of Later Macedonians.

Dark Eldar vs Alpha Legion

Image
Deployment: In this 'Thunder Run' scenario the Dark Eldar are attempting to smash their way through the Alpha Legion forces and march off the far board edge. They have three squads of warriors and their archon with a webway portal deployed behind the tower and capitol buildings. The alpha legion infiltrate havoc squads into each corner in the factory and archive. They also have two groups of cultists, one behind the factory and the other occupying the fountain.   Both sides unleash a preliminary bombardment, showering the battlefield in shrapnel. A warrior is slain and one dark eldar squad starts the game pinned.  Dark Eldar Turn 1: The warriors and archon move and fleet their way as far forward as possible, with one squad moving into the factory and the other into the capitol Alpha Legion Turn 1: The havocs pepper the advancing warriors with heavy bolters and missile launchers, but the dense cover largely protects the xenos. A cultist squad advances through the fountain....
