Other people's Portable Wargame battle reports: Case White

Over the weekend, Nick Huband published a number of photographs of his recent Case White* Portable Wargame on the Portable Wargame Facebook page.

He used the rules from my DEVELOPING THE PORTABLE WARGAME and figures from his extensive collection of original and converted Peter Laing figures and vehicles. The game looks very impressive and shows just how effective the late Peter Laing's figures look.


* Case White is the codename given the the German invasion of Poland.

  1. Looks like a great game! Nick is putting me to shame with his progress with getting his Laing figures on the table!
    Separately, did the 'Get Well' card I sent you arrive okay?

      When Nick Huband sets his mind to 'do' a project, it gets done well!

      All the best,

      Bob

      PS. Thank you for your card. Due to our rather erratic postal deliveries, it did not arrive until yesterday.

      Wait until you see his Maori Wars stuff! I hope to feature it in the next issue of the Compendium.

      All the best,

  3. A good example of the PW rules in action, Bob. Just saw his post/report on the PW fb group 👍🏼. Nicely done, and an unusual combination of very early WW2 with 15mm. It’s rare to see a Polish army on the table.

  4. Great pics Bob, thanks for sharing these.
    Are the buildings 6mm size do you know? They look really good with the PP 15s.

      I'm please that you enjoyed seeing Nick's figures and vehicles in action. I'm not sure where the buildings came from as Nick is a very god scratch builder, although the church does look like the one produced by Hovels.

      All the best,

      Bob
