Off the Workbench - Mike W: VBCW BUF Militia
Latest off the Workbench this week is 5 new figures that will form the core of a BUF squad for the VBCW.
The figures are a mixture, extreme left is a metal figures, previously show on this site, to the extreme right of this is a plastic Wargames Atlantic Panzer Grenadier with British equipment added and has again been previously shown on this site.
The remaining five figures are all new kit-bashes based on the Wargames Atlantic Panzer Grenadiers, again with British equipment added.
Centre is a figure with a German field cap, a nod to their continental counterparts.
Two of these guys have Tommy Guns, one a Lewis gun and a squad leader with a Webley Service Revolver.
I aim to add there or four addition figures to this squad, a Lewis No. 2 and some more riflemen, I'll then need to look at some transport for them....

Off the Workbench - Mike W
Not to be out done by John, I took the time to re-base my 28mm Highlanders for our forthcoming game.
15 x Musketeers, 12 x Pikemen, 12 x Warband and 3 x Chieftains
Friday Night Games - Imaginations campaign, Naval game
Friday 24th July saw us at Rupert's gaff playing the first in Steve's Imaginations campaign games - surprisingly a Naval game, set in quasi Napoleonic times.
Two fleets of ships faced each other, with Mat, Ollie & Mike W, commanding one fleet, lets call it the 'Good' side! It has more vessels, although with lower quality vessels but on the whole better crew. Their opponents, we'll call them the 'Evil' side, were Mike N, Nigel & Rupert who had a smaller fleet with better class vessels but potentially poorer crews.

All the fantastic models were from Steve's collection and the rules were home brewed by Steve as well who acted as umpire.
Much death and destruction was handed out by both sides and it looks like the game will go on for another week, not least because no vessel has the movement capability to get off the table to safety in the near future!

Friday Night Games - Battles for the Berezena Crossings, Part 3
The final week of the epic 3 week game saw John & Dave continue on as the French whilst Mat, Mike W, Mike N, Steve & Mat commanded the huge Russian force.
Mat's command on the Russian left continued to batter the French in that sector, who also dealt as good as they received. However on the French left the tide had truly turned and over the course of the night the whole French left wing gradually collapsed under the weight of Russian onslaught.
Ultimately all French units to the left of the bridge were destroyed or broken, leading to the preparations for a pre-emptive flight of the right wing. Whilst the French had fought valiantly, they were defeated with significant losses.
