A small contingent from the society braved the roads (and rails) to Excel last weekend to stage Peter’s Fallujah 2004 game at Salute 50.<\/p>\n

The premise of the game is that a USMC platoon have been tasked with clearing an area of Fallujah, sweeping through buildings to clear them of insurgents. The three participants each control one of the platoon’s squads, and depending on the draw of Fog of War cards may have additional assets to aid them in their mission, for example, helicopters, an M1 Abrams tank, a LAV-25 APC, a sniper team or a Navy Corpsman.<\/p>\n

Games are intended to last an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes, and use a simplified version of Ambush Alley’s Force on Force<\/a> rules. Figures are from Elhiem Figures Modern<\/a> range, civilian vehicles from Matchbox or similar and buildings and terrain scratch-built by Society member Peter.<\/p>\n

We were very pleased to be awarded a prize by the South London Warlords: “Best 10 – 18mm game”.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Peter for creating an award winning game, and thanks to all members who have helped run the game at shows this year.<\/p>\n

The game’s next appearance is at Broadside<\/a> on June 10th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
