Vital research material arrived today to help with the #ArmouredStorm gaming. Not sure I fancy the Valentine's chances...
Disaster in the desert!
A battle report of a recent #ArmouredStorm game as Phil gave the Italians a go...

Lot of fun in the 6mm Desert War with #ArmouredStorm last night as Phil's DAK squeezed out a bloody victory against @andycrow.bsky.social's 8th Army. Man of the Match award to the Panzer II zug who took out three Matilda's at (very) close range! #joyofsix
Some pics from an #ArmouredStorm game last night loosely inspired by part of the Battle of Beda Fomm. Despite a valiant attempt to hold back Phil's DAK until reinforcements arrived, the 8th Army were thwarted and the Germans captured 'The Pimple'...
Another game of #ArmouredStorm yesterday, this time against Jim in his first game. After smashing the German right flank I was optimistic the 8th Army would seize the vital crossroads but the battle turned into a meat grinder and ended with no-one in control of the objective. Still fun though...
Great game of #ArmouredStorm with @andycrow.bsky.social last night. Three platoons of Matilda II's forlornly tried to hold off Panzer Armee Afrika until reinforcements arrived but initial successes soon turned sour as the PzIII's and IV's wreaked havoc when they got in close...
#ProjectCreep I only planned to have the one British and one German tank company for #ArmouredStorm games - I have weakened... Lovely 6mm Matilda II company from #ScotiaGrendel
More #ArmouredStorm last night as @andycrow.bsky.social & I introduced Phil to the game. Initially it looked like an easy victory for the DAK as they stopped the British on the right flank, but the left turned into a bloody battle before ultimately Phil's Germans won the day...
@andycrow.bsky.social & I tried our Dan Mersey's #ArmouredStorm company level Western Desert tank rules last night. Great little game, the use of the Tactics Board to choose orders (and prevent your opponent picking the ones they want) is really clever. Lot of fun and two close battles.
Some 88's and 6 pdrs to use as Strongpoints in #ArmouredStorm and when the Western Desert supplement comes out for 'O' Group in that... Heroics and Ros miniatures.
