28mm French Indian Wars – Black Powder by Warlord Games
Off to the endless rolling forest of North America in the 18th century. The game used the Dark & Bloody Ground supplement for Black Powder. The scenario saw a British force marching to relieve a fortress that was besieged by the French and their Native American allies. The French screen of light infantry were thrown back by the British, but their native allies fought like tigers and did a find job of holding up the British. Once the British regulars broke through on to open ground and engaged their French counterparts the redcoats quickly demonstrated their superior fire discipline. The fort was relieved but not before a daring party of Native Americans had made it across the fort’s walls.

10mm WW2 – Desert War – Blitzkrieg Commander 2 by Pendraken
The Desert Rats were taking on the proud panzers of Rommel’s Deutsches Afrika Korps. 2nd RTR needed to cover the escape of an infantry convoy back to the main defence line. To do this they had the finest cruiser tanks available: A9s, A10s and A13s. Despite the DAK’s best efforts the British tankers were victorious.
