Here is an update of what I am doing
1) Printed and played Brave Little Belgium
2) Rebasing! When in lack of action or money, a wargamer can always keep themselves active with rebasing. (Or perhaps it is the curse of the idle minds). Since I decided to focus on smaller table scenarios and actions, I wanted to rebase my Greek and Ottoman 1897 forces from there 20x20 mm square bases to 40x20mm bases, as the second are more accommodating to spectacle. I have rebased most of my Greek infantry and need to do the Ottomans. I will need to purchase some more figures to bring the armies to a look I want (including 1) limbers or mule trains for guns 2) dismounted cavalry 3) more irregular infantry).

All the Greek units needed for LJdPB Gribomvo 1897
4) Reading and Writing: I have not been able to do much work on the scenarios. Gilikson 1847 has maps, and oobs done, but I have not had the chance to re-read on the battle to set up description, special rules etc. I am reading Peter Cozzen's book on Chatanooga. I did read this useful summary of the events o the Turkish Great Offensive of 1922. (In Greek).
That is the news.
I enjoy Brave Little Belgium (got the hard copy) but so far the Belgians have yet to avoid the Teutonic steamroller.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. In my three games the Entente has won every time. Last game Namur and the French 5th Armee checked three German Armies and broke their teeth. Sure, the BEF and the Belgian Army were obliterated, but still, it was damn hard for me to win. And I did try to mask the forts and run to get the infantry units in the victory locales.
