Operation Night Crow 2: All or Nothing
Better late than never, I wrote up the game I played with Tony Francis of Brigade (we actually sat down to roll dice in November…). I wanted to delay slightly as, while I was at it, I also detailed some of the problems with the scenario for Miniature Wargames issue 429 which is at the shops now but here’s some more detail on the Slammers site for those who’d like to dig a bit deeper.
Enjoy!

http://www.hammers-slammers.comJack – no problem! Indeed I do love the smell of ionisation* in the morning!
DSG – Thanks mate: the ‘stealth ship’ is a real interesting beast: it can form the core of an attack force with its special abilities** and – for the scenario – I should have had two (but have still only painted one, so… serves me right!). However – in the end – one is attacking some of the best heavy tanks in the business (blowers) complete with their own air defence stuff and… well they are just low flying VTOLS with all of the lack of serious armour that this implies.
As we all know, in the slammersverse, if it flies it dies. So forces only use vehicles that – in the combat zone at least – ride total nap of the earth, just to put in some cover. Trouble is… when push comes to shove they are still only armoured attack helicopters (in all but name). And – when you shoot at something like that with a main tank gun or mass AA fire (all of which are guided by super-dooper AI systems and so rarely miss) they do get chopped up a bit
* from discharging powerguns
** and special defensive systems

http://www.hammers-slammers.comIf anyone is interested, I’ve written up my painting method for the tracked Lightning Division tanks – as you’ll see, I made it up on the fly due to a shortage of blue-tak…

It’s a great piece of improv (!) – I linked it in the piece on the Slammers site and it’s one I may pinch in the future
