First Race

Tonights game was formula d on the  Buddh track. This race was to get the players used to giving themselves wear points and using some driver skills. The finishing positions were also to set the grid on the upcoming season.
The race started well with all drivers getting into turn two blocking the track causing me to drive up some ones behind and burning all my brakes, making me have to limp round the race track for the rest of the game. Bailey forced ahead taking some damage but getting in the lead which he managed to maintain to the win. Lee put his foot down and got into sixth gear rolling a top speed of 29! Bob pushed his car to the limit causing is car to spin out and leaving behind. Rob failed to use one of his skills which left him at the back of the field but his car intact,  with the other drivers suffering and slowing down he managed to bring his car in thrid.
Good race with some lessons learnt.

Battleships

Five pre dreadnought battleships for battle flag. 1/3000 th from Navwar.

VC Attack

Tonights game was Bolt Action with a twist, modern Vietnam War.
American marines with  M113s attacking a village. The VC were to push the Americans out of the village. If the village was in dispute the bridge and downed helicopter were secondary objectives.
The Americans advanced fast and hard up the center wiping out some VC units in the village. The VC got a T55 tank as reinforcements but managed to miss once hit an M113 twice and only managed a pin (some poor rolling). The US got a helicopter with a unit in that dropped them right in the village.
The VC pushed in to the village but were cut down again and again. The game was called with about 70% casualties to the VC and the US about 30% casualties and holding the village.
A good game with some lessons learnt about fire power and making up airborne landings as you go!
All models and scenery supplied by Lee.

Star Wars Miniatures

My two new models came today.
Slave 1 and the wave one X Wing.
Slave 1 looks to have some nice upgrades and the slave is nice. Wedge looks like a nice pilot.
