More information on the long awaited release of IABSM 3

http://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=599

possibly the best set of WWII wargames rules out there & defiantly the best for this level of action. Which is the same as that for Flames so if you want to see how good your nicely pointed Flames army is in a real wargame  look no further

The latest play test from Lard island here come the cavalry & the painted people sorry no pictures for this one as some of the figures where rather inappropriate proxies  :-[ :-[ :-[.

Quote

A truly hilarious playtest on Lard Island last evening. We had abandoned the campaign structure we'd been dubiously sticking to as there were some specific issues we wanted to test, specifically Pictish mercenaries and cavalry. Of the two the Picts were by far the most fun, albeit unintentionally. The British shock cavalry, in the tradition of Arthurian legend, were deployed to support the main shieldwall which had taken up position on some high ground. I had rather grand ideas as to what they could achieve, however in the event they got rather too tied up chasing some Saxon light cavalry off the table before they were jumped on by some Saxon foot who got in among the horses. The British escaped narrowly and played no further part in the game as their horses were blown.

Amusingly Cyddic had hired some Pictish mercenaries to assist him. This is not something that you'd do unless in desperate straights. The Pictish mercenaries are a dubious lot, they regularly turn up for work drunk, their prices appear to be very low, but in the end they often don't finish the job and end up costing you more. However after recent reversals Cyddic was on his uppers and needed some support, so it was the low cost estimate that he went with. Summoned from his home in Caer Afan Tarmacticus arrived with his men. When they showed up smelling of drink Cyddic decided to place them in the centre of his front line where he could keep an eye on them. Despite that they spent the early part of the game loitering near the back, presumably finishing off some vile brew.

As the skirmishers traded arrows and javelins Cyddic, Brythnoth and Wulfstan all advanced, but no sign was there of Tarmacticus. At least that was at first. Then, in an amazing sequence of cards the Picts launched their charge. Straight past Cyddic they ran, then past Wulfstan and finally Brythnoth, they literally tore through the British archers who fled in terror before hurling themselves bodily at the British Levy in shieldwall on the ridge...and dying to a man. There can never have been a more impressive alcohol fuelled charge that came to a more dismal end. The British Levy suffered two points of Shock whilst Tarmacticus and all six of his warriors were slaughtered.

To top this off Brythnoth was so wrapped up in trying to drive off a party of British skirmishers that he passed dangerously close to the British Levy who immediately broke formation and mobbed him, killing nearly all of his men. The one man left and a wounded Brythnoth fled from the table.

This left Cyddic with Wulfstan's two Groups of Warriors off on the far left and his own two Groups of Heartguard who had run back to deal with the British cavaly, about 48" apart and facing a shieldwall completely untouched. Needless to say he packed up and went home.

A true comedy of errors which actually led to some interesting (and downright bloody odd) situations, and that helps test the rules.

And the moral of the story is that if you want a job doing well pay a man to do it properly rather than employing the dodgy pissed bloke who claims he can do the job on the cheap. They always let you down!

If you think I'm putting that on Lard Island News you have another thing coming!

Evening all, just to let you know that we're slaving away on the Christmas Special here on Lard Island. I am formatting the final article and Nick is working on his final piece so the good news is that barring disaster we will be ready to rock on Monday morning. I can't give you the running order just yet as I will be stitching it all together tomorrow but here's an overview of the contents.

The Bulls of Bravo is a Charlie Don't Surf scenario set in 1966 with the USMC taking on Charlie in a tough fight.
Lovely Weather for Dux looks at the effect of weather on your games of Dux and the campaign setting.
The Sea Wolves is Chris Stoesen's guide to Dux in the Vikings Age and includes three scenarios,
The Viking Chronicles is a complimentary piece to the above detailing the period from 600 to 1066 and the conflicts suitable for Sea Wolves.
The Roundwood Report sees a review of the year, a look forward to 20013 and a VERY important announcement about the future.
Gunther Mensch's Panzer Tactics is a guide to Panzer tactics in wargames from the Meister himself.
Panzer Angriff is a mini-campaign for IABSM to test your skills as a Panzer commander.
Invasion Earth is Robert Avery's guide to putting your sci-fi forces together with an interesting twist - Don't own sci-fi figures? Think again!
Swedish Dux is an interview with two Vikings who have been using Dux in Sweden to cover other periods, we unveil the snaps and talk to two of the blogosphere' s stars.
WWII Kriegsspiel sees the Meckel Map used for a very different game set in 1945.
The Yanks are Coming is a follow on from a piece in the Summer Special and looks at career paths and backgrounds for US Big Men in Mud & Blood.
Sidney Roundwood's Road to Ruins is a step by step guide to producing some ruined terrain from the meister himself.
Olkhovatka! is a Kursk scenario for IABSM by the ubiquitous Robert Avery.
You Dirty Rat sees Nick wheel out the 1920s Gangsters and their Molls for a Christmas Extravaganza in the spirit of Lard Island festive games.
More SturmAbteilung Vor! sees Sidney reassess the tactics of the Stormtroopers based on a broad range of contemporary sources and provides an intriguing pre-game scenario development system.
We have a couple of Bag the Hun scenarios as well.

Unfortunately we are having to hold back a few pieces submitted until next Summer, specifically those for Algy - we hope to have that back flying by then - and some very nice photo heavy stuff for the Arab Israeli War which we just couldn't fit in this time as we are already going large on file size and a variable campaign system for Dux which looks great but we just ran out of time and space (apologies to all concerned on those pieces).

More news on Monday.

Cheers

Rich

Reposted form the lardie Yahoo group a taster for the 2013 summer special.

Quote
  Hopefully we'll have the special finished this weekend for a Monday release. We are really all hands on this one at present.

As a bit of a taster I can tell you some of what will be in there.

1. A XXX Corps mini-campaign for Operation Garden with ten actions to be fought for IABSM.
2. The Green Fields Beyond. A look at British tactics in 1918 and three scenarios to accompany for Mud & Blood.
3. War of the Roses for Sharp Practice with two scenarios
4. Air War in Vietnam. Two articles covering aircraft availability by year and region plus how weather can affect that in CDS.
5. Terrain in Dux Britanniarum.
6. Multiple player campaigns in Dux Britnaniarum
7. Roundwood report (no idea what's in this apart from it is Sid interviewing Nick (so probably a load of bollocks).
8. A big piece for Bag the Hun
9. Scenario generator for Kiss Me Hardy
10. More of Nick's pulp gangsters leading up to the Christmas Special which will have the rules for this whacky 1920s speak-easy adventure.
11.An Augustus to Aurelian scenario set in Britain
12. A Q13 scenario from Roberto
13. An Arab Israeli War scenario for IABSM

Plus some other stuff I can't remember. But it is really shaping up now. All I need is some sleep! No chance of that as we have a very special game of CoC on Lard Island tonight.

Definitive contents page for the Lardie 2013 Summer Special

Quote

Boys and girls. The Sumer Special is nearly upon us. I have it down to 10.1MB so just a bit more work to go to drop below the 10MB which is my goal. Unsurprising it is so large, it spins in at over 130 pages and it is full of meaty, beefy, big and bouncy stuff. Here's the contents page.

Page 4 Highway to Hell. A min-campaign for the Irish Guards Battlegroup on Day 1 of Operation Garden

Page 25 Beware the Tides of March. Phil Hendry presents a scenario for August to Aurelian

Page 29 The KMH Squadron Builder. Fat Nick shows us how to generate naval squadrons for Kiss Me Hardy games

Page 35 The Green Fields Beyond. British infantry tactics for the open warfare of 1918. An overlook and three scenarios

Page 49 If You go Down to the Woods Today. Mike Whitaker seeks out realistic terrain for Dux Britanniarum

Page 56 Of All Base Passions. Pat Smith presents his rule amendments for Sharp Practice in the Wars of the Roses

Page 62 Escape to Cock Lane. And check out the backsides of St Albans as you attempt to evade the victorious Yorkists. As scenario from the War of the Roses first battle

Page 66 Bloody Greenstead 1477. Pat presents his epic War of the Roses scenario for Sharp Practice

Page 69 CAS in CSD. Brian Weathersby gives us an insight into airpower in Vietnam to add some punch to our Charlie Don't Surf Games.

Page 81 Lard & the Blogosphere. Sidney Roundwood gives us the low down on his blogging days.

Page 84 Conflict on Kovnat. Inter-Galatic warrior Robert Avery presents a scenario for some hot action on Planet Kovnat.

Page 91 Double Dux. Regular Man-of-Lard Chris Stoesen gives us some tips for multi-player gaming with Dux Britanniarum.

Page 98 How to Protect Your Kibbutz. Tag team Jon Yuengling and Mark Kinsey present their thoughts on gaming the Yom Kippur War of 1973.

Page 105 The Roundwood Report. Sidney dons his surgical gloves to probe Fat Nick in his first interview from the dungeons of Lard Island. Could it be more painful than it sounds?

Page 111 Hotter than a Snake's Ass. No, not a follow on piece from above! Nuno Pereira looks at weather from Da Nang to the Delta and how it can affect our games in Vietnam.

Page 117 Your Dirty Rat 2. Dirty Rat Fat Nick builds up to the crescendo of his puply gangster game planned for the Christmas Special with part two of his force collection tales

Page 123 Who Pulled his Chain? Big Rich talks Chain of Command as he explains some of the thinking behind the new concepts you can look forward to in the summer

Page 129 Bagging the Bismarck. The Fat Lad presents the "ultimate war in the Atlantic scenario for Bag the Hun. Can you bag this nautical Hun?

I was going to put the cover up but now I see Ben has posted some snaps of his panzergrenadiers I am going to look at that instead. Then it's Pimms o'clock!

The Special will be released tomorrow morning.

Cheers

Rich

Right boys and girls.

Tomorrow on Lard Island News we will be running a day of live (almost) CoC action. Throughout the day we will be playing a game and posting on Lard Island News regularly - maybe every phase, maybe every other phase. We will be adding photos of the action and will also be available to answer any questions as the game progresses.

We plan to start the game at around 10am British Summer Time, which is Zulu +1 and then play until we end the game or we get fed up and go to the pub. Probably about 1530. So, why not drop by during the day to see the game updates as we go or chuck in a question or two.

Two great games of Chain of Command today with a platoon of armoured Panzergrenadiers attacking a British held village in Normandy. It was the first time I have deployed all of my German halftracks in one game and it was really great to see them in action on the table.

I'll be putting up a report of the second game in the next couple of days, but I thought I'd share with you the rather amusing first game. Being rather over-impressed by the pretty vehicles I thought I'd just drive straight up the road and crash into the village, destroying all in my path. Not much of a plan, but there you go/

On turn three my lead halftrack stormed up the lane followed by the command halftrack. As the platoon HQ slowed to take a bend in the road a shell from a concealed 6 pounder turned it into a blazing mess, killing the Platoon Officer, the senior platoon Sergeant and the Panzerschreck team. German force morale plummets like a stone and the remaining halftracks turn around and drive off the table. Game over in five minutes with only one British unit deployed on the table!

Needless to say in the second game I was a bit more cautious with my commanders!
