On to the second part of Cangames coverage, this one is for the games I didn't organize.
Cruel Seas:
First up is good Duncan's cruel seas game, I was only really supposed to help out but admirably took over a bit.
In this game 2 well escorted convoys are meeting in the English channel. The Germans are escorting a damaged U-Boat, and the Brits have a liberty ship and merchant tanker. These are the target ships both sides need to sink.
Lots of British, but you can see an E boat coming from the side.
Full table view, you can see the U boat in the far corner, sailing along the senic white cliffs of Dover.
Bug scrum of torpedo boats in the middle, lots of boats sunk.
In the end not so much as a shot was fired at any if the target vessels so we had a real draw.
This game went pretty well, everyone enjoyed it. Maybe we had a bit to many ships/people for the bolt action dice bag act7vation but it was fine.
Louisberg:
Lastly I played in Ed's Louisberg scenario. I'm on the English side so our job is to take the city, as Amherst my job specifically is to take the King's bastion.
Here's a shot of the center and right sections. The king bastion is on the right with the governor's mansion and garden party.
Artillery phase over time to advance. John managed to open the weak point so good for us. My guys are advancing and start shooting up the French on the walls.
Closing in on the walls. I tried some early assaults but found out it's better to do some shooting first.
Less defenders now time for action.
In the end we were able to take all 3 of our objectives so it was a pretty successful assault for Amherst!
Overall it was a fun game, everyone seemed to enjoy it. Just look how happy even losing makes Bruce!
Thanks;
Mike
