Title: Garden Wargaming Battle Oct 2006
Post by: es_jedi on June 27, 2007, 09:04:18 PM

Hello,

was a long time ago the battle take place, but now I have time to sow you the pictures. Two armies: the South against the North, or gray against blue. So my part was the army of the northern states(not typical for me  ;D ). Mr. Jones (my little son) took the other party.

We used the 'Dicke Berta' (cannon) because so we got more hits and the fight did not take so long.

So first a fight with my resizer-program 128kb is not much  :), then the first pictures. I hope you enjoy!

es_jedi (and Mr. Jones  ;) )

HM wishes the cavalry to advance rapidly to the front, follow the enemy, and try to prevent the enemy carrying away the guns. Horse artillery may accompany. Further cavalry is on your left. Immediate.

There is your enemy. There are your guns, My Lord.

It's too bad that we all live so far apart. But, on the other hand, it's probably a good thing ... otherwise we would probably be fighting garden wargames all the time ...  :D

Hello, and sorry for the dramatic pause  ;)
So much work and only a few time for Playmobil  :-\

On this point of the battle we had a problem: to much guns and not enough soldiers. So the movement of the forces stopped and only the canons spoke. Next time will try with only 2 canons and more than 80 soldiers.

Although it made fun and I show you some more pictures......

Let's go:

Title: Re: Garden Wargaming Battle Oct 2006
Post by: es_jedi on April 17, 2008, 07:41:42 PM

And the end....

the South wins! They have about five men more then the blue one  :-\  So I lost against Mr. Jones.

And now I must pick up the Playmo.

Post by: es_jedi on April 17, 2008, 07:48:39 PM

For the melee we built us measure circle. So we need no more inefficient strings to see who fights with whom. It works  ;D Less disputes  ;)

Title: Re: Garden Wargaming Battle Oct 2006
Post by: es_jedi on April 17, 2008, 08:22:25 PM

We tried an new test this spring-time. It was on a meeting with very nice playmo friends. We have a very nice arena (thank you schokoman!). We fought with 95 soldiers ( 50 on horse) and 2 canons on each side. It worked very well! More dynamic and not so much gunfire.

I made no own pictures, but you can see some on the German board www.klickywelt.de (home of the es_jedi/Jedi  ;) ). But only members can see the pictures. So I will try to ask the photographers to allow me to show the pictures here.

Good bye and sorry for my horrible English  :D

Hello, es Jedi ...

Looks like everyone had a good time!

The idea about the melee circle seems like a very good one!

Thanks for the links.

All the best,
Richard

I need a very long time, but now I can show you the pictures. The photographers 'Playmofool' and 'Nehle' gave me the allowance to show them here.

Now the picures from Playmofool.

I was only the referee. The players are memebers of the klicky-world. The playing field was build from schokoman, also member of the klicky-world and organizer of the meeting caled OPSTLER (Oberpfälzer Stammtisch  ;)   Stammtisch meens regulars' tabel I think, but I'm not sure)
