Flames Of War On A Grand Scale: A 60,000 Point Battle Royale. The 8 February saw the Rangers at the Wargames Store run a 30,000 point aside game played on an epic 12’ x 6’ sized table. The scenery took most of Friday afternoon and evening to set up before the General’s could muster their forces for the mega battle.

Turns three and four saw the Germans start attacking the Allied forces; blunting their attack on the right flank.
Below: The Panzer IV J lead the attack and losing a couple to the Sherman’s that were facing them.

At the end of the six turns and a long day of gaming the Germans still held the objectives and had kept the Allies at bay from capturing the final table.

The tables are going to be left set up so that the guys can work on more terrain and enable others to have the opportunity to join in on gaming nights.
