I'd like to try again with more balanced armies and see if the game is any more tactical. I know Gary loves the opfire stuff, but I've never been a big fan. In most cases the tradoff of complexity and slowing down the play is not worth it IMO. I didn't hate it though, so it's got a leg up on 6th edition 40K! And it certainly compared favourably to Bolt Action.Tim Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976581133078058587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-86953501432679519112013-02-25T18:20:47.961-08:002013-02-25T18:20:47.961-08:00Great game- One I'm wanting to play myself at ...Great game- One I'm wanting to play myself at some point- thanks for the inspiration.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Pete.Pete.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06668389518826053090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-38098157072519533642013-02-25T15:06:53.137-08:002013-02-25T15:06:53.137-08:00I still need to finish painting the buildings...

(the base of the burn marker is a metal washer - initially put there just to to give it weight!) <br /><br />The core of the buildings are MDF - the details I've added on are balsa, cherry veneer strips and a bit of cardboard.timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-82364592737719518452013-02-25T15:00:32.701-08:002013-02-25T15:00:32.701-08:00Hey Tim.

Being so light sticky tack works wonders with them!<br /><br />Nice buildings as well!

There are far, far too many variables for anyone to develop any point system that can have anything approximating "balanced" forces... But when they're there I try them out to see what the author had in mind as "balanced" to start off with and then I throw it out the window. I think with some tweaks we could make it into something workable for quick actions of a slightly larger scale than FoF... We shall see.. <br />timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-12260084394087687092013-02-25T13:57:35.573-08:002013-02-25T13:57:35.573-08:00Thanks Pat!Thanks Pat!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-66599633915975114052013-02-25T13:32:29.007-08:002013-02-25T13:32:29.007-08:00Preferred the Force on Force AAR to the Bolt Actio...Preferred the Force on Force AAR to the Bolt Action one. I'm not sold on the Bolt Action rules don't like the points gimmick for WW2. I would agree with your comments on the AAR write up the Bolt Action game seemed to get silly. Used to play Ambush Alley which I loved not tried FoF. Though I think its about time I considered returning to AA games.
