morts 1938 scrapbook morts 1938 scrapbook sunday 23 september 2018 battle of the cokers i m putting on a sunday game at the end of october set in my south somerset campaign the game will start with all the players having fought for up to 24 hours so they are going to be short of ammunition i ve made up the following rules to cover this hmg and lmg ammunition is counted in bursts each player will start with a number of bursts for his platoon as his hmg lmgs fire then 1 burst is crossed off his burst tracker hmg lmg burst firing 3 or more shoots at one time or 1 shot at a building lmg double tap when an lmg firing 2 shoots at one time a double tap doesn t count as a burst but does count as automatic fire so the target must take a nerve test posted by mort at 17 02 no comments email this

star posted by mort at 16 18 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 15 october 2017 the arms deal supply chain there is no supply chain no faction controls the whole of the manufacturing processes this means local commanders players are going to have to lead a hand to mouth existence most of the time this is still the same if you are operating close to a port unless the port has enough of the royal navy to keep the sea lanes open supplies are still going to be hit and miss getting to you this means all sides will be building taking over any factories they can to make some of the arms ammunition and other equipment they need these will then become targets for every other faction in the area tanks the supply chain problems will make any tanks and other vehicles you have very important losing them should will have a knock on effect in all your future games the tanks of 1938 are no way near as strong as those of 1944 45 they are not much more than tracked skips the size of a transit van they are not going to burst through a mature british hedge more than likely they will be beached on and old tree stump or have track pulled off along with the supply problems this will make all tank commanders very conservative in how they fight as no tankie wants to become an infantryman we did get to do so big games this is one of two tables back to back the lack on a supply chain will have an effect on infantry units as well the lee enfield rifle may have a range of 1000 yards but if your troops only have 40 50 rounds each then they are going to hold their fire and not engage an enemy until the range is 200 300 yards this is going to be even more likely if the unit is a half trained militia unit trying to control large areas with little or no fuel for vehicles will mean commanders going using a lot of bicycles and going back to the horse almost all commanders are going to raise mounted infantry units as a way to cover as much ground as possible the arms deal introduction the leighton buzzard defence force started the civil war very short of arms and ammunition to improve things they have done an arms deal with some londoners the mitchel brothers unfortunately the local buf have got wind of the deal ground a farm is in the centre of the table with a road running down one side the farm has a main house and some out buildings there is a track leading away from the farm across the fields on the other side of the road from the farm the rest of the table is fields orchards or small woods general situation there are 4 lorries parked in the farmyard set up all sides need to draw a map of their deployment map use a farm from your local area red forces troop list platoon commander with pistol platoon sergeant with smg medic 2x runners 2x 10 man sections each with an smg and lmg the rest armed with rifles 1x 10 man section of police see platoon generator that are only armed with rifles this section is reluctant see platoon generator 1x armoured lorry 3x vans lorries execution set up at both ends of the table on or next to the road objective capture the arms and as many rebels as possible blue forces troop list platoon commander with pistol 1 pipe bomb improvised grenade platoon sergeant with shotgun 1 pipe bomb medic 2x runners 2x 10 man sections 1 with an lmg 4 figures in each section

yard are yours and a now loaded with arms treat the pipe bombs as grenades but have a 1 in 6 chance of not going off objective get the arms off table or destroy drive off red forces green forces troop list the mitchel brothers 2 ncos with pistols 1 has a pipe bomb 1x 8 man section with an lmg 2 shotguns the rest armed with rifles 2x drivers both armed with pistols treat as platoon runners execution you start in the farm yard you a have 2 empty lorries and a lot of cash objective get off the table with the cash and some motor transport with the arms as well if you can posted by mort at 14 34 2

multi sided civil war like this no one side will have a continuous defence line towns will have a garrison from one faction or another all towns will also have a number of 5 th column groups and that garrison will also have to provide smaller units too man outpost this garrison will also have to send out patrols man checkpoints collect food keep the local economy going as well as raiding nearby enemies lord winterfield on the left and two members of the taunton b u f introduction roadblocks and checkpoints are a great way for any side to try and control areas these roadblocks and checkpoints can also be very exposed and may be attacked ground the table has a crossroads or t junction at its centre with the roads running to the table edge the rest of the table is fields with 1 or 2 small woods and small farm buildings general situation blue force has set up a roadblock checkpoint at the junction with a small covering force as well red force is going to attack the roadblock checkpoint from 1 table edge set up blue force set up at the roadblock checkpoint with the cover force within 12in red force deploy along 1 table edge map you know the area where you re fighting vbcw where would you set up a checkpoint a footsore figure with empress head red forces troop list red force has a 3 section platoon with an hq and support weapon execution red force dice to see which table edge they start on objective to clear the blue force s roadblock checkpoint another footsore figure with an empress head blue forces troop list blue has a 2 section platoon with an hq and support weapon execution set up the roadblock checkpoint with 1 section and make the position of the hq support weapon and cover section on a map after the red forces have deployed put the hq support weapon and cover section on the table objective drive off red force and keep control of the roadblock checkpoint green forces add any or all of the following civilians trapped at the checkpoint when the fighting starts use random movement for them they cannot be shot at an agent of a 3 rd faction trapped at the checkpoint when the fighting starts the agent must get off table the mitchel brothers with a load of arms see the arms deal they must not let the arms get captured posted by mort at 17 12 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels vbcw scenarios sunday 8 october 2017 farm wars farm wars introduction as spring turned to summer in 1938 all sides realised that they need to feed their troops to win if your side didn t have a port then it needed to control as much land and as many farms as possible this lead to dozens of little fights each week as every side tried to hold as much land and as many farms as it could ground a farm in the middle of the table surrounded by fields and orchards general situation all sides are trying to capture a farm this game can be played by up to 4 players only 2 are given here set up lay out your farm in the middle of the table surrounded by fields and orchards map use the countryside around you for the map red forces troop list a full platoon but without any vehicles execution deploy on a table edge in the middle third objective take the farm converted artizan figure blue forces troop list a full platoon but without any vehicles execution deploy on a table edge in the middle third objective take the

campaign rules these rules are best when used with wtdw rules and the platoon generator but should work with other sets of rules these rules are split in to 3 sections all winners and losers all means

for the next game or the new section is regular captured equipment anything players capture in working order can be used in the next game after that at the start of a game dice to see if the player s
