IABSM AAR: New Player's First Game

/

Richard T from the IABSM Facebook Group played his first game the other day, and here are a few photos of the battle.

Richard commented:

Our first game ! Pretty fun day was had. Think they tick all the boxes for me, really like the 'blinds' and the activation deck particularly. Command, control and communications are simple and smooth...wonderful. Early days still, but I have high hopes.

Lovely looking figures: I really like that style of painting.

My afternoon game at Operation Market Larden X was Phil & Jenny’s excellent Throw Them Back scenario for I Ain’t Been Shot Mum.

This involved a German counterattack on one of the Normandy beaches just after D-Day, with my instructions being, as one of the German players, to get a significant force “onto the sand”.

This turned out to be a cracking encounter with exciting action right from the start.

And thanks, as ever, to Adrian and team for organising such a great event overall.

Here are some shots of a game of IABSM that Chris Lane posted on the IABSM Facebook Group.

As Chris says: The sprog and I had a good game last night of the Russians trying to take a village. Suffice to say I lost as the sprog’s T-34s steamrollered the left flank.
