All I can say is fantastic! and give your boy a break - he is only 8! I was wondering how long it took and you answered that - too long. I have always liked IABSM except the combat mechanism, and you have made me put on my list to play IABSM - keeping everything except the combat rules (will replace with my own). In 2002 I made up a lot of the cards required. I have no easy solution for you for blinds - I have some oval shapes made out of card - one side is painted green, on the other I write in pencil what is under the blind. Rosters are too hard for me ;-)Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-14842076239544042052017-12-11T18:46:20.821-08:002017-12-11T18:46:20.821-08:00Thanks buddy, and here’s to hoping you find time f...Thanks buddy, and here’s to hoping you find time for a wargaming blind someday ;)<br /><br />Hope the move goes smoothly for you!<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-4005300097829738052017-12-09T13:59:47.674-08:002017-12-09T13:59:47.674-08:00Jack,

I don't have a blog, for a couple of reasons but mainly because with work and travel, I don't get much gaming done, much less find time to blog about it. <br /><br />I do enjoy a few blogs though, your's and Sgt Steiner's prominent amongst them. Maybe one day I'll find the time but with a house move imminent, it'll be a while. <br /><br />SiKpl Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01208639526234041132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-66756320213848795502017-12-07T15:13:13.558-08:002017-12-07T15:13:13.558-08:00Si,

Basically Gary got to it first so I ended up a Kpl. <br /><br />Anyway, I agree with my superior's view, another excellent post. I replied this morning on your rules mods, but also see my 'missing' reply has appeared there too (the suggesting Fireball Forward). <br /><br />Best, <br /><br />SiKpl Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01208639526234041132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-3707068491811758162017-12-06T05:59:19.383-08:002017-12-06T05:59:19.383-08:00Si,

I enjoyed your BG Market Garden batrep, but for some reason I'm not able to leave comments on your blog :(<br /><br />Yeah, this seems to fix the blinds issue, and it's simple. I think at 8 years I hadn't found the Airfix yet, I still was throwing stuff at 54mm Army men, so you were ahead of me! ;)<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-54154826794940109422017-12-06T05:57:12.171-08:002017-12-06T05:57:12.171-08:00Thanks Pete, the boy and I are having a great time...Thanks Pete, the boy and I are having a great time!<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-8242377670964305292017-12-06T05:56:40.255-08:002017-12-06T05:56:40.255-08:00Hey Joe!

For this game we were up there 4 1/2 hours; I was getting worn out, I could see the boy was getting worn out, and then it took another five hours to transfer the pics and write the report...<br /><br />Like I said, I could see doing a few fights in Greece, I just don't know much about it. I think the Lardies have an IABSM scenario book for Greece, I'll take a look. And you're saying you think I can use my French as Greek infantry? I have Brits, so no problem there.<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-69073120600641408842017-12-06T05:52:52.057-08:002017-12-06T05:52:52.057-08:00Thanks Andy!

So the German tanks were Turn 4, the French tank Turn 6, the German infantry Turn 8, and the French infantry Turn 10 (the last two didn't make it). <br /><br />Don't worry, I play on playing another five or so fights here in France. I've also got a campaign in the Dutch East Indies going on right now (lots of playing, but haven't posted my recent stuff yet), the War for Israeli Independence, and my Cuba Libre alt-history stuff going, so plenty to look at, and don't worry, I'll keep KG Klink interesting, no matter where it ends up going next! ;)<br /><br />V/R<<br />Jack<br /><br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-83203652721127538182017-12-06T02:10:40.903-08:002017-12-06T02:10:40.903-08:00A superb AAR with excellent terrain and kit
"...A superb AAR with excellent terrain and kit <br />"Our 'blinds move at end of turn' house rule worked; " is an excellent idea as this is probably my biggest issue with IABSM ie getting blinds to work ! Once unit cards get placed into the deck I find blinds just operate too infrequently if at all.<br />Kudos to your son as at 8yrs old I was still throwing stuff at plastic Airfix figures as a 'wargame' :-) Sgt Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805201299484374889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-83436928360735987952017-12-05T19:21:29.441-08:002017-12-05T19:21:29.441-08:00Superb battle report- stirring stuff.

Same uniforms and tanks but you can add early war brits and some greeks as opfor. (The Greeks actually had some bren carriers. Most of their uniforms where french as they were just making the transition to british stuff. I have already done the research for my greek platoon.)<br />JoeFlightDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493092270549623224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-29233263135036556342017-12-05T00:45:54.616-08:002017-12-05T00:45:54.616-08:00What was the game mechanic for bringing on reinfor...What was the game mechanic for bringing on reinforcements? It worked well, with the Char B coming on fashionably late. Looking forward to the rest of the campaign, shame it'll end sometime and you'll move onto another period.
