Mark and I met up for a game of BKCIV, and to allow Mark to use his Early War BEF forces We went for an Encounter game. I put out myEarly War German armour (minus three Pz38(t) that I left at home), supplimented by some of my DAK to llow a decent amount of points, and drew a rough line halfway, which landed us with a 'What if' game somewhere in The Balkans in 1940. So, ignore the later Panzer IIIS in desert cammo, they are really earlier ones, honest, and the obvious DAK infantry and trucks, just imagine they had been issued tropical kit early, maybe! Straight away, the difference in command levels shows. The British are mostly 7s with a CO of 8, the Germans are 10s and 9s. That is a huge difference. I won the initiative, and gave Mark the first turn, and all of his units failed to appear! Much hilarity and a little swearing happened instead.

Footsore recently released this rather fun game, based around 28mm skirmish fighting in ancient Greece. Tried it at Campaign, then got a set for my birthday from Manny and Rob at Boards and Swords .

I will use Thea from Bad Squiddo as the force hero, add in the Temple Guard to the phalanx, and think about what else to get to boost this lot. Grip, Wolf and Fang from my LOTR Hobbit forces might also get added in to make a second Hound unit. Kunds are cheap, not ery powerful, but will be great on the flanks being a distraction. M...
