I'm not sure that they were worth the 15-20 year wait I had for someone to finally sculpt them but they are finally available and very, very pretty! The BVs are both 3 piece models (Cab, armoured linkage, and trailer unit) - with the BV206S adding an MG cupola to the cab roof.

We'd decided to fight attack/defense games at 2,500 vs 1250 points and equal points battles at 1750 pnts. Our first game was rolled up as River Assault (well, maybe Wadi Assault...), I was defending as Germans and my opponent lost 20% of his 2,500 pnt force for a minor victory on my part. Consequently, he subtracts his 20% = 500 pnts points from his total of 4,000 so his force pool now stands at 3,500. As I didn't lose any units, my force pool still stands at 4,000 It would seem from the chart that I threw 25% of starting points (1,000) to spend on reinforcements - but they don't go on to the table but into the force pool, so battles – as long as you have troops to draw on – will still be fairly set up in terms of points. Sadly for him, after taking a drubbing on the field, my opponent, Steve, rolled no reinforcements. So, we go on the the next battle and as it's Att/Def I can take up to 2,500 as attacking troops from my pool (with the usual army list restrictions) and he can take the full 50% of that from your pool = 1,250. Subsequent Scenario Selection We played that when we went on to the second column in the Campaign scenario selection chart (we rolled low) that we then rolled to select from _all_ the scenarios in the column – but as River Assault had been the first scenario, should we have stayed on that row for selection of all battles in the campaign? NB Re River Assault We played The attacker had 1 bridging unit for every full 1,000 pnts – so two bridges – had to order them to be built, before they could be crossed at full speed by inf and 1/2 speed by vehicles. http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/Content/Forum/Topic.aspx?CategoryID=2&ForumID=9&TopicID=14865&ForumPage=1 http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/Content/Forum/Topic.aspx?CategoryID=2&ForumID=9&TopicID=14865&ForumPage=1&GUID=18 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:12:51 GMT http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/ I'm a big fan of alternate history (not just "What if Hitler had won?") but game across the following while looking at the Alternate History forum and thought (hoped) others on this forum might be interested.

Furthermore Indus-Alpha looks like it is the target of a large scale raid. More on these stories as new unfolds... We also have good info that Andarayadan security forces on Abertawe are on high alert after discovering plans to raid the industrial facilities on that planet.

I have to say this forum is one of my all time favorites. Some forums are Ghost Towns, some are like a Friday night in a rough neighborhood. This one is actually quite helpful and cordial. So, well done there. This is for Pete. THANK YOU. I love the rules and being able to use any figures (including my old "name brand" stuff)is just grand. The danger now is seeing all the new and tempting things in 6mm which I was able to ignore while I lacked a rule set for them. Mixed blessing there I think.[8)] Even basic access to the battlegroup function is fantastically handy to have and made army creation a snap. Well, off to start painting battlegroups. The scavengers got 2420 to play with the the Marine 1800. Hmmm, I think I may need to build a 6mm, Sci fi, Rokes Drift terrain piece. Thanks for making this forum a nice place to visit and for breathing new life into the piles of 6mm which have been giving me guilt producing glares since 1999. http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/Content/Forum/Topic.aspx?CategoryID=13&ForumID=47&TopicID=14850&ForumPage=1 http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/Content/Forum/Topic.aspx?CategoryID=13&ForumID=47&TopicID=14850&ForumPage=1&GUID=33 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:03:05 GMT http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/ Hi all, when reading the rules, I´m missing the sandbags for field fortifications.

The table looked very nice, and the battlefront model is a beauty (but hideously expensive!). We used the rules posted by Keith in a previous thread. Good game, lots of blunders and failed rolls all round, but the train didn't actually achieve much. With 3 wounds per carriage it died very quickly and was definitely a "points sink". Just wondering if it ought to have something like 5-6 hit points per carriage, and a better save, like 5+, or even 4+? Not sure how thick the armour was. Keith - do your points costs INCLUDE the infantry units that it carries, or are they extra? And did the train achieve much in your game, or just die in a couple of rounds of shooting? Lovely model and having a railway adds lots of interest to the tabletop. We'd love to use it again but we probably need to "pimp" it up a bit in terms of survivability. cheers John PS Will email a couple of photos to Pete who may (or may not!) want to post them in the gallery. http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/Content/Forum/Topic.aspx?CategoryID=2&ForumID=4&TopicID=14838&ForumPage=1 http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/Content/Forum/Topic.aspx?CategoryID=2&ForumID=4&TopicID=14838&ForumPage=1&GUID=45 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:29:03 GMT http://www.specialist-military-publishing.co.uk/ Were there not some rules around here for artillery auto surpressing infantry?

I was hoping to paint all my 1989 (pre 1990) era French force in Tri-colour. Any help with this would be appreciated.
