I'm going to make a concerted effort to finally learn Tide of Iron this weekend. Now that I own the old coffin box (from a trade last year), the Next Wave box, and the expansions (Fury of the Bear, Stalingrad, Normandy, and Days of the Fox), seems maybe that's the next step.

On the virtual table...

Red Poppies: Ypres

Start of Scenario 1,




The Brits are badly outnumbered, but not in such a bad spot.  Many of the German units are disorganized after their advance, and the Brit artillery will eat the Germans alive if they try to take the guns.



Start of Turn Five, in previous turns, the Brits tried to rush the town from the North, but were beaten back.  The Germans tried to advance on the British artillery but were cut up.  Superior British infantry fire and artillery have taken a heavy toll...  But the Brits can only win by taking the town.  Time for the Worcesters to fix bayonets again...



Turn 6 saw a German win...  The Brits did not have good command and control, and the Worcesters were forced to assault without artillery support.  The Worcesters were gunned down by some really good rolls from German infantry fire...

Overall, the rules make the game move really fast...  Doing a campaign scenario next...

That's why they look so nice. Except for those bits on the sides.

No, and I even failed to buy the Shame tumbler.  :-[
