I had my first game of
What a Tanker this week, in the
heretical scale of 15mm. The models and scenery were provided by my friend Gorillamo, and I took a Tiger against three Shermans commanded by Gorillamo and Lims.
I'm not very good at my Sherman identification, but there was a 75mm, a 76mm, and an Easy Eight.
I've been playing with a new app on my phone, LensFX, which allows me to add explosions and dinosaurs
etc. to my photos. I think it helps tell a story, but let me know if it is it a distraction?

A fun first game which lived up to my expectations. It was a delight to play on this terrain with these models. The Tiger only hit once, doing optics damage, but shrugged off over half a dozen hits. Being rammed reduced my command dice options, and I wasn't able to recover them before taking a hail of fire that convinced the crew to bail out and fight on later.
Looks great! Love the effects :-)

15mm martyr
DeleteGreat looking tanks and terrain. WAT is a fun game. Although I have a few 1/48-50 scale armor, I think 15mm or 20mm may work better for the rules .
ReplyDeletePreach, brother!
DeleteSounds like a blast and I love the effects - although I couldn't see any dinosaurs. ;)
