Too Fat Lardies

I really like these. Especially the flamethrower aspect.

There are so many incredible miniatures in 6mm now. And i think it conveys the empty battlefield much more effectively than 15mm or larger.

I ran another remote game of IABSM using Messenger and my 6mm stuff. It was a late war East Front game that was suggested by one of the players I decided to do something a bit different and set this up to be a game run over 2 sessions with a different pair of gamers each time. Being a lazy git it me...

For 6mm I just mount 3 to 5 minis on a penny and use 2 pennies for a section/squad. I also use a roster sheet to track the casualties per section instead of a micro dice next to the unit.

We didn't know what was even on the table til spotted and had no idea of crew quality. Coasta...

I had a few folks ask how they can get Chris' Campaign for Greece supplement for IABSM since it was no longer listed on the Lardies site. Well, it looks like it is now available through Chris' blog site

If anyone is thinking about an easy game to adapt for social distancing play, I would recommend Coastal Patrol. It's got a layered blind system that makes it extremely easy to solo play with unknown units underneath. Also no trouble to set up take down terrain. You can even run a game without miniat...
