Stand and Die, WCW 10 The title is false advertising. My opponent (the Japanese) may have discovered a flaw in this scenario that deflated the fun factor for both of us. Since this is pre-1938 (December 1937), No Quarter (G18.7) is NOT in effect and Chinese KMT troops can surrender. Given...

AP 196 Silver & Bronze I give this one a gold medal for Olympic-level drama. Just days into the Ardennes Offensive, an American combined arms force of 14 squads and eight AFV finds itself sandwiched between two separate German formations, each with a mix of infantry and armor totaling 25...

Ask and ye shall receive. Here's a shot of the armored car tray. For this pick, I tucked the lid underneath to show where it goes during play (out of the way). Speaking of lids, that reminds me. I recently flipped one of these trays, with the lid on, by accident. It did a 360 off a chair...

Entire British vehicle park fits comfortably in three box box. One of them shown here next to the "pocket" Chapter H for scale.

Yes, with some constraints, see B23.742, "Any vehicle may enter/exit a factory location containing a printed stairwell symbol or across a road hex side at open ground costs..." Per the usual set up rules, if you could enter during play then you can set up there.

We finished this one. The Allies gave up during the penultimate turn when the Germans, firmly in control of two buildings, seriously threated three more. As the game unfolded, the Allies feed more and more manpower into the central church which enabled German tentacles to circle round other...

Turning the Tables, ASL 39, Start of German 6 The Western Desert is under rated, probably due to overlays. If we produced a (semi) historical map with all the terrain printed it might get the attention it deserves. We're halfway through a quintessential desert fight with Turning the Tables...

J 104 Flanking Flamethrowers Another masterpiece of tension and suspense from Xavier Vitry. The Germans attacked in a wedge centered on the sunken road playing conservative with their two tanks. The Russians held on to the village for two turns (See the first pic below) with a 7-0 leader...

Am I missing something? The 51mm (2-inch) MTR "airborne" does appear in PB Campaign Games and scenarios. See PB Campaign Game "Coup De Main" (page Q8) and scenarios PB1 "Ham and Bloody Jam" and PB2 "Howards Men" for some examples. It's also in various ABTF scenarios. As with LMG and the...

J209 Corking the Chambois Bottle Turn 5 Allied Advance Fire Phase This one's a beast that starts slow, even tedious, since terrain channels the attacker into obvious kill zones. But, with a little luck and some patience, the Germans can breakout out on turn 3 to make reasonable gains with...

All the standard boards, the Fortenberry boards, and most of the campaign game maps fit in this 19 litre XL box from the Container Store with room to spare. On the right, you can see how I filled the void with a grey cardboard box. I put board #1 out front for scale. Some of the campaign maps...

I second that.

Mine is not a reality argument. Where in my text does it say "in reality?" In fact, I refer to "cardboard gunners." I'm pointing out that game constructs, like hexes, merely serve as convenient metrics and should not be "over interpreted" to mean something never intended. The fact that smoke...

The point or concept here is lost in too much text, very muddled. That said, this seems to be one of those pleas to exempt area target type shots - especially smoke - from various modifiers (J, O, and P) on the grounds that you are trying to "hit the hex" and not the unit; but that's an...

I second the recommendation for Danger Close. It offered very compelling, in fact terrifying, depictions of what it's like to receive fire from "somewhere" out there in the bush. And, it serves to remind us that several nations joined the United States in defending South Vietnam. There were...

J 209 Corking the Chambois bottle turn 2. As illustrated, the attacking Germans get channeled into a few (deep) stream crossing points. A lucky German sniper clocked the Achilles while smoke from a bogged PZ III in the woods to the left of the picture smothered the American machine gun nest in...

Somebody needs new German counters, just sayin.

BoxBox lids fit tight, but do not secure, not a problem though. Perhaps I'm just unusually coordinated, but after seven years of play, including road and air travel to club meetings and tournaments, I've never spilled a BoxBox. I just stack 'em snug in a larger container that does lock and...

High drama! I can hardly wait for the next installment.

The BoxBox I use is usually referred to as "27-compartment box clear" with SKU:10048402 and dimensions 6-5/8" x 12-3/4" x 1" h, Container Store link below. https://www.containerstore.com/s/clear-compartment-boxes/d?q=27-compartment%20box&productId=10032167 Each box, tray really, can hold the...
