Idling away a little time waiting for Britcon to start, here is a new t-shirt designed. Inspired by the WW1 Aussie soldier featured in the BBC The Somme – both sides of the wire

On Tuesday played the clubs first middle eastern  square bashing affair. As the Turkish commander I surveyed the masses of reservists limited artillery and limited assets with some fear as a fairly elite Empire force descended on my line of hasty defences . The turks have five dice for point effect barrages and that is it for artillery options.

Luckily I  had rolled for two  options where defeat could be ignored with no retreats and no further casualties. These rebuffed the initial attacks and then a surprisingly accurate point effect barrage  sent the highlanders and sikhs running for the woods. The british forces regrouped and applied more pressure but in the end little was achieved and it was a crushing victory for the ottomans

As a result of the game I had yesterday with Ray, I’ve composed an example of the subtle difference in the assault options in Squarebashing
