I've been thinking about rebooting my old VBCW project recently, for no other reason than it's almost complete and wouldn't take much effort to finish off. I have a BUF platoon of two ten man squads, an HMG, command and vehicles plus some coppers, all of which are painted and ready for use.
I also have a larger platoon of communist militia which just need a lick of paint and some base texturing to be finished. I also fancy adding some more ad-hoc armoured vehicles to the reds, probably using some diecast conversions of Days Gone By lorries. It's about a weekends worth of work to do, if such a thing as a free weekend exists, so definitely do-able.
I just need a set of rules to use, with Bolt Action as a possibility that wasn't around at the time I originally put the project together. I wonder what people use for VBCW skirmish games these days? I may take a look at Went the Day Well from Solway, which is designed for just this sort of thing.
What a coincidence! One of my (many) current projects is VBCW - I'm putting together a force of armed miners & recently bought 'Went the Day Well'; you're welcome to borrow them to see what you think
ReplyDeleteThanks Colin..definitely thinking of getting a copy of WTDW after reading some online reviews. When you've assembled your miners I'd been happy to take them on with my fascists and coppers.
ReplyDeleteI use WTDW and CoC, both give good games, although the former is more in keeping with the atmosphere of VBCW.
