WW2 scratch game , using Rapid Fire.

 Had a short notice, bring what you fancy Rapid fire game using my Americans and Danny's late war Germans. All terrain provided by Grimsby Wargames Club . I arrived first and set up the table. I thought it would be a good idea to place a river and 2 bridges, somthing I immediately regretted once we started the game.




  















All in all a good game, called it a draw  as the Germans had lost 1 infantry battalion and the 2nd was stretched quite thinly and the Americans had got a toe hold in the town but had yet to take control of it. The rivers seriously impeded the American advance so their armour was relegated to a supporting roll, leaving the infantry to gain control of the bridges.

  1. Looks good. Didn't realise you did Rapid Fire as well. I've had the rules for years (both editions) but only ever played a couple of games - enjoyed them though! Take it they are 20mm forces?

    Cheers, Andy

    1. Hi Andy,
      only set we play regularly at the club. These are 20mm, the most popular scale for WW2 we play.
