Very good Ste, some interesting firefights. Yeah at that scale the lmg is good 😁 I think the rules would work well for recreating the stories from the commando comics 👍

Cheers Lee, yeah the LMG may have to be reviewed for the next encounter as it pretty much dominated the fire fight from start to finish. Rouzet may be disappointed that I take his prized LMG away but...this is war! Absolutely yes, that would be a really cracking way to play the game :)

Excellent video. I liked your narrative, it's a good way to solo play.

Thanks Gareth, that's very kind of you! I'm glad you enjoyed and yes, its a great way for solo play if you just allow the narrative to lead the game. I tried to move/fire react etc as if they would have done in real life rather than just to win a game :)

Great game. I'll certainly watch your progress with interest.

Hey thanks Paul! Its the first time that I've used the Firefight rules and they work really well if with such a small amount of figures on the table. For solo play, definitely so. Focusing on the narrative made the game flow really well :)

Nice work my friend, definitely going to try something like this myself shortly!

Cheers buddy, glad you liked it! I would certainly recommend it if you have an urge to throw some dice around. With the Firefight rules, it feels more like playng out a story than a wargame :)

That poor guy who kept getting hit by the LMG .lol Enjoyed seeing the rules in action.

The LMG turned out to be absolutely brutal with some very accurate fire from Rouzet! The rules worked really well. It's essentially Bolt Action but small scale. Highly recommended ☺

Great game Ste, really enjoyed it

Looks like it was a fun game. That LMG was indeed deadly.

It was a really fun game, it felt like more of a story book encounter than a game. Ah yes, the LMG was absolutely brutal! I think I may need to look at it for the next game :)

Brilliant terrain! Great narrative!

Cheers Dom! There is definitely scope within the rules to really make a detailed but pretty quick to run narrative campaign 😊

Great vid mate. If no one can come round play yourself 😀. Hope your doing well in these uncertain times.

Cheers Jonny! It seemed the best solution and the Firefight rules worked really well for solo gaming. It was quick paced and a lot of fun! You too mate, hope you and your family are safe and well :)

Great battle. I just bought a second hand copy of bolt action to ease the boredom during the current semi apocalypse and I love it already. Really inspired by this solo campaign so might have to give it a go

That's awesome Lee thank you, glad you enjoyed it buddy! The Firefight rules can be downloaded free from the Warlord Games website. They are a great addition to the rules. I'm hoping to get the next instalment of the solo campaign done this week. Agree with you that Bolt Action is a tremendous game 😊

@@OnPointHQ I'll get them downloaded now. Had couple of practice games yesterday to nail down the rules. Already got most of them straight as I've watched a tonne of youtube on it lol

Looking forward to more Firefight skirmishes

Ste, i'm in the middle of painting my British Airborne, and was thinking of using Firefight for a quick solo game. So searched KZread, and found you'd already been there! Cheers. Did you use Fantasy Name Generator www.fantasynamegenerators.com/german_names.php for your teams?

Hey Allan, huge apologies for the delay in responding to you. I think because you had included a link in your comment, it was flagged as spam or something. Apologies for that! Yes, the fantasy name generator was an invaluable tool in naming the chaps from each side. Its really a great way of coming up with some random names when you wan to personalise a game or section etc :)

it could do with a wound as well as pin or casualty and accumulated wounds lead to a kill

Thanks Jacob! Yeah, I was thinking of something on similar lines whereby if a character incurs more than three injuries then they are retired from the section and need to be replaced. That's what I like about Firefight, there is so much scope for customisation and introducing home brew rules to your games ☺

The only chance vs an LMG is good cover and distance. I don't even know is the LMG range smaller than the rifle? The Germans should have avoided going there piecemeal and just focused on their right flank and got around the house.

Yes the LMG was very brutal in this game! Even with the German using the hedgerows as cover, because the game was fought in such a small area the LMG was a lot deadlier. In Firefight, it is often quite difficult to hit your target but the LMG made no mistakes that day! The LMG has a slightly longer range when compared to a rifle with a range of 36" :)
