There were a lot of really amazing games this past weekend. I was lucky enough to play in a bunch of them, see pics below of some that I attended. All these GM’s ran excellent, fun, and beautiful games!
Coolidge running a Boxer Rebellion game. Hard Fight outside of Tienstin. The Boxers leave the city to stop the invading allies from entering and sacking it.
The Chinese vigorously attacked the allies, the superior firepower and numbers of the allies where just too much
for the Chinese to overcome. Despite these factors it was a minor Chinese victory because they stalled the allies and blunted their attack on Tienstin.
It is rumored that a spy had given the allies the Chinese battle plans. Someone must pay for this …
Last Stand Dan ran a TMWWBK WWI Tigris River game, Attack Along the Tigris 1916. The Turks gallantly defend an outpost on the Tigris from a combined arms Anglo-Indian assault. It seemed as if there were thousands of Turks. Could the Brits break the trench line, silence the shore batteries, take the town, and move their gunboat upriver???

WWII, Operation Norwind, 17 January, 1945, Rapid Fire Reloaded game run by RBW.
Some of the RBW Crew setting up, Scotty couldn’t make it due to the hurricane.
Jeff from RBW patiently awaits the players Saturday morning.
The Americans are on their 3rd or 4th attempt at taking this vital bridgehead, town, and railway stations. The Americans made it across the river albeit with major casualties in personnel and armor. Both sides of the river were stoutly defended.
German Panthers emerge from the cover of the railway station to finish of the advancing American armor.
A lucky long range flank shot takes out a Panther on its way to reinforce the railway station.
Big Dave runs a TSATF Sudan game, To Save Their Own! from the official The Sword And The Flame 2016 Scenario Portfolio. Capt Stewart has been picked to lead a small force of men from the main column on a night raid against a Grand Emir, in order to rescue some British officers of the Denbigh Fusiliers, including Capt Griffiths, who were captured after the last action.
