Too Fat Lardies

A trio of back to back games at the local club this evening. Lots of photos on the blog: [url]http://jimswargamesworkbench.blogspot.com/2019/02/what-tanker-club-games.html#comment-form/url] https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WPcpefW8CHY/XFoWB4mt4aI/AAAAAAAAmZM/HhXwVLSCmSMgI8cNb2KhFG1AEwGGTzTqwCLcBGAs/s1600/...

That's what I'm planning to do in a few weeks time, once I've sorted out all the paperwork, turn cards etc.

I'm working in a scenario that involves bomber aircraft (Blenheims) stripped of their armament, except for a single defensive dorsal turret, and packed full of supplies, spares, fuel etc for a besieged garrison, in this case Malta but there are many other examples e.g. Stalingrad, Demyansk Pocket et...

Here's the latest attempt to squeeze three aircraft on to an A4 sheet but still be able to read the numbers and text. https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ciGzMhqHyKo/XDnwa_bmypI/AAAAAAAAl6w/hKK6mWqJe4wD44w9LJxTM2pRRX5P-umKQCLcBGAs/s1600/blenheims.jpg You may notice that I've bumped down the ALT / MAN / SPD r...

I'm using David Manley's fast play rules for both - Broadside and Ram for ironclad fleet actions and Broadside and Salvo for the Pre-dreadnoughts.

I noticed yesterday that my blog has just passed it's tenth birthday (hooray!) and that I have now posted four hundred (and one today) posts on Bag the Hun :shock: . A fair few of these are just my random ponderings but there's some nice 'ooh shiny' photos and a few decent game reports, painting pro...

I was thinking of something like that but was worried that all the pen would rub off on the table / hex cloth underneath.

They now look like this, or at least they will when I've finished all ten pairs of them!

Yes I thought of doing that but I have a couple of club players who struggle with small print, so I thought two per sheet would be a good idea? It also means that for the 1945 game I'm running, where the players control just a pair / rotte each, that everything they need to refer to is on one sheet....

I know what I will do.

I'll shade out the blocks on the ammo track so that there are any equal number of blank squares to the ammo limit!

Why didn't I think of that before?
