LW Escalation League - Game 2

Saturday night I was able to get in two more games for the escalation league (600 point level) we are running.  These were pretty fast paced games, so I got no pictures!  I hope my minimal skills with MS Paint will suffice!  :)  I'll post the second game tomorrow as my lunch time wasn't sufficient to draw the pics for both! 

We played on a 4x3 table and used the same table for both games.  Free For All ended up being the mission for both games.  Yes I rolled a "1" both times... I ended up being attacker both times with the defender getting to go first!  I chose the same side of the board both times too!  :)

The table had very sparse terrain. Here is a picture I drew in MS Paint...  The yellow box is a "wheatfield" that was difficult going, did not give BP cover, but did block LOS/LOF like woods.  The stream was difficult going and bogging except at the ford.

LW Escalation League - Game 1

Keith Miles is running a LW Escalation League at The Gamer's Armory. We had our first meeting last Saturday, June 4th. Here is a link to the rules of the league: rules

I chose to run a Fallschirmjager army.  I spent a lot of time working through which book to pull it from.  I finally settled on using the list from the soon to be released Cassino book.  Until June 11th, I haven't really taken anything that can't be found in the other FJ lists.  After June 11th, I'll start popping out some of the more interesting choices.  :)

The field of players runs the gamut of veterans to complete rookies.  Keith even managed to convince his mom and dad to participate!  That's awesome!  We also have about a 50-50 mix of tank companies and infantry companies.

For the first set of games we tried to pair up the rookies with a veteran.  I was paired up with Keith's mom, Jane.  She complimented me on my teaching skills and all I could say was that I'm glad I played her now because in a couple more weeks she's going to be a very formidable opponent!  She even hinted about a re-match when we are "allowed" to play each other again!

We both ended up bringing 600 point Fallschirmjager forces.  I'm not sure which book her's came from.  Talk about "Blue on Blue" games!  It actually turned out really good because it let us play the game and talk tactics and rules without having to deal with big differences in the armies.
