Essex Warriors: Konflikt 47 (Bolt action) WWW2 6 player 15mm game

Seems like ages since I have got a game in at the club, and thats because it has been!

To make up for it I joined in a great 6 player 3v3 game of Konflikt 47 to try out the new version of their Bolt action rule system taking it into Weird WW2

I was one of the three German commanders taking on the American forces

A meet and shoot battle this time, no fancy objectives or anything like that lol
Great fun and for once my big gun Panzer Mech thing hit its one dice shot every turn making light work of the allied armour

usually on these systems one dice role even needing a 3+ means most turns I will either miss or hit but do no or little damage! not this time though halftrack, sherman tesla tank and another halftrack gave my tank commander a 3 for 3 result this game

The Allies withdrew at the end of turn three having lost all their heavy weapons with out reply

Great game, thank you to Mike at the club who as is often the case provided all of the terrain and miniatures in use











Added below here are a couple of the other games going on, a Pike and shot game very colourful, and a American Civil war game using Sharp practice which I think is the base for a couple of open day and show games in the coming months

For those in the UK near Essex it is the Essex Warriors Open day next weekend on Sunday 25th in Writtle from 10am, bring and buy, couple traders and lots of games on show pop down and have a look

Today at the Club

Today I took part in a massive Kings of War 2 game, 6000 pts a side.
I had 4000 pts mostly made up of the Kingdoms of man plus some Dwarfs and I was allied with some 2000 pts of Undead.

Opposing this war host was some 6000pts + of deamons

This was the second mass game using these rules and I have to say I think they are definitely my new go too large scale fantasy rules set.

Can you field hundreds of troops - check
Can you field large and small units - check
Individual war machines - check
Heros - check
Utilise all of my current collection - check
easy to learn - check
easy to play - check
game time - fast

I'm sure it took longer to set up than to play or may be it felt that way. Either way once you understand the rules concepts and provided you have the stat's to hand this game move fast.

Needless to say it was a crushing victory for the forces of men, Hordes of Knights pack a real punch, and my war machines even had the joy of taking out a Giant near the start.

Also some photos from the other games on today: Critical Mass looking good with some Mech action, American Civil War and a WW2 Bolt action game.
