Other wargamers continue to use and develop my PORTABLE WARGAME rules. Amongst them is Nick Huband ... and this afternoon he sent me a photograph of the starting positions for a wargame set during the Spanish Civil War.
Nick has extended the board so that it is 12 squares x 8 squares and plans to use it to fight an action between an advancing motorized column of troops from the Italian C.T.V. (Corpo Truppe Volontarie) and a defending group of Spanish Republican militiamen.
The C.T.V. have three tankettes, a towed infantry gun, two motorcycle infantry units, six motorized infantry units, two motorized infantry support weapons, two infantry trucks (to carry the motorized infantry), and a motor tricycle command unit.
The Republican militia appear to have eight infantry units, a couple of infantry support weapons, and an armoured car ... and the advantage of being dug in.
I will be interested to hear how this action pans out, and if Nick shares a battle report and any photographs with me, I will write a special blog entry about it.

really nice table...I love the level of abstraction "PW" rules give. I'm halfway through painting 15mm SCW forces for PW . I'll be sure to post them on the INTERBELLUM blog when they are done in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteLittlejohn,
ReplyDeleteNick Huband is a very good modeller, and has turned my ideas into something that looks superb!
I am glad that you like the PW rules, and I look forward to seeing you SCW forces in due course.
All the best,
Bob
