M8 HMC

 These have been sat on the bench a while but I've finally got them done. Raventhorpe M8 with a AB miniatures crew figures and stowage by various manufacturers. Anice model but it shares its hull with their M5, hence the stowage to disguise the front of the hull.

Finnished..at last!

Started these whilst in lock down. All based for Rapid Fire. Figures are by Tony Barton and available from Eureka Miniatures.

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.

Sibret, Rapid Fire Game.

Once again a game slightly out of scale, this time 20mm world war 2. This was based on the Sibret scenario from the "Battle of the Bulge" scenario book using  Rapid Fire WW2 rules.

Close game came down to the last turn but the Americans left it too late and it ended a draw. Figures by my self and Danny, terrain and buildings belong to the Grimsby club.
