IABSM AAR: Encounter at the Ledge
/I played the third scenario from the Fall of the Lionsgate scenario pack this week with the boys from Benson. Two great games featuring plenty of action. Click on the picture below to see the full reports:
Type 41 75mm infantry/mountain guns

One of the good thing about Battlefront extending its range to the Soviet-Japanese border conflicts of 1938/9 is that it's a great opportunity to fill in the gaps in my Japanese WW2 army.
Here's one example: I finally have the Type 41 75mm infantry/mountain guns that form part of the brigade assets of a Japanese infantry regiment. Nice models.
Japanese Type 94 Tankettes

Second, we have the Type 94 Tankette for the Japanese. Typical Battlefront tank model but, again, seemed to fit together more easily than usual. I also like the command figure. The Type 94 wasn't used in the invasion of Malaya and Burma, my usual theatre, but will be useful elsewhere I'm sure. Again, recommended.
'Beer & Lard Day': Slim River

AAR: Fall of the Lion Gate
/Originally posted 6th September 2007
An excellent report, with plenty of pictures, of how the "Lardies West of the Rockies" fought their first battle from the Fall of the Liongate scenario pack.
AAR: Kota Bahru
/Originally added 13th August 2007
Scenario One from the Fall of the Lionsgate supplement: the Japanese enter WW2 at Kota Bahru, Singapore (not Pearl Harbour: due to international time zones, the attack on Kota Bahru was actually before Pearl Harbour).
AAR: Kranji Penninsular
/Originally posted 6th July 2007
Exciting action from the Kranji Penninsular. Will the Ockers hold the Japs at bay?
AAR: Nee Soon
/Originally posted 3rd November 2006
A battle report from the Fall of the Lion Gate scenario pack: Baluchs try and hold off the Japanese at the village of Nee Soon on Singapore.
AAR: Airstrip Road

Phil Gray has sent me some pictures of a recent game using the Airstrip Road scenario from Fall of the Lion Gate.
AAR: TooFatLardies Malaya Day
/Originally posted 18th July 2006
I have now added even more picture from the recent TFL Malaya Day 2006.
AAR: The TooFatLardies Malaya Day
/Originally posted 21st June 2006
I have added a microsite for the recent TFL Malaya Day 2006: where almost a score of the country's finest Lardies gathered to re-fight the battle of Lardak, a thinly disguised version of the battle of Kampar.
The microsite contains all the briefing documents, photographs and after action reports for the day. If anyone there has anything else to add (the missing AAR's or some more photographs) please click here to e-mail them to me.

In preparation for the TFL Malaya Day next weekend, I've posted a gallery of my Japanese Company...just to give the British players a taste of what they might come up against!
