We played a great game of Steam Wars last, we feel we have the rules pretty much nailed now. However, Joken reckons we will find a way to break them when we introduce more aircraft, zeppelins and copters…hmmm, could be right.
My British Expeditionary Force went up against Joken’s Kampfgruppe and we had both independently decided to reduce the number of elite units that we would normally pick.
We got to use some new pin markers, recently acquired from eBay. These are available in three colours, so we can use red for Pinned and the yellow and orange versions for extra effects such as Impeded or Disabled.
We had plenty of superb terrain as usual and I certainly found maneuvering the medium tanks a bit challenging, they did not make it far onto the battlefield.
Joken’s Landwher are looking really good, there seem to be thousands of them, and all making use of the plentiful cover available.
For a change, my British Treadbikes were not as efficient as usual, they were taken out quite quickly in this game. These are still some of my favourite models in the British roster and I find it difficult NOT to pick them.
This game was also the first outing for my Urban Constructs Drop Pod, a fine lump of resin. It plummeted from the heavens to deposit its passengers in the right place at the right time.
We are already planning our next game in a couple of weeks which gives us plenty of time to tweak our forces.
