Lovely stuff indeed. His range of terrain features is fantastic. He does some great Dutch houses, which are otherwise rather hard to find for Arnhem scenarios. I think the STL files are deffo the way to go for his terrain. And the Govt thanks you for your £42 customs, £12 post office and £23 taxes Brexit contributions. Still, Sovrinnty, eh?
Firstly, this was an educational game that ably illustrated why a commander should prioritise manoeuvre over 'action'. This game also shows why tanks should not move as freely as infantry. The P.IV moving from centre to right flank in one turn was pivotal.
If everything gets a no fire - does the game break? No more reactions so opp is free to go about their business - assuming capping objectives is the goal and opp doesn't have to shoot/risk losing initiative
If this were to happen and if the victory conditions were to occupy objectives that were unoccupied by a defender then the current active player would win. The chance of a complete force going no-fire is… unlikely.
Good to see Hovels is still out there. Agree the buildings are easy to dry brush for a quick paint job. Also good to see you have a RU-vid channel. I used to check out your website but must have lost it when updating my computer 😞. Btw the resin is polyester which is why it is brittle but cheaper than the polyurethane resin most companies have been using for the last couple of decades 😁 if you are okay with it being a bit more vulnerable to knocks etc it does mean you can get more bang for your buck.
I am just finishing up my late Napoleonics project, and I know exactly what you mean - disappointed to discover they didn’t wear bearskins until after Waterloo! Love the look of your units - makes battles in 28mm scale reasonably achievable. I have also done units of 6 apiece in pairs. I have given every second unit a flag, so together in “brigades” of 12 they look the part. As they’re on sabot bases I can move the flag to the rear-right to sit in the centre when brigaded.
Cracking update, Paul. The Turks look great, as does the terrain, but the skirmishing Zouaves are fantastic and a nice change from Berdans or plain infantry. I am looking forward to the retro sci-fi project.
I've had multiples of most Hovels buildings over the years. Usually, I sold them on because I'd based them in a way I no longer liked or someone offered me money. I've decided to hang on to them now, I'm not sure how long Hovels will be around. We're an aging hobby.
