Operation Getting to Know You 2

A chum of the Mad Padre's, who I hunted in Mike's PBEM campaign Swan of the East (he was Captain of the notorious and much sought-after Emden) is in the region visiting and was hoping that the three of us could get together. 

My July dance card has been rather full, but Peter and I found a mutual gap in our schedules this past Wednesday night. After dithering over what game to put on, Mike suggested I show off my Quar.

A simple 300 point squad vs squad game of Clash of Rhyflers would fit the bill.

I set up at the top right edge. Peter set up lower left.

For a learning game I decided to keep things simple. A basic Crusader squad with attached H11a LMG, and a basic Coftyran squad with attached sharpshooter.

I set up some trenches on a 3x3 for lots of cover, and because I haven't used my trenches with CoR yet. 

Pushed my sharpshooter out to the flank, which was great until a Ryshi knocked him OOA

I suggested Peter take the Crusaders, since they're easier, and let him choose a table edge. I set up opposite. 

Vicious bayonet fight at the intersection! I was winning until I wasn't.

We threw grenades. We had a nasty bayonet fight in a trench. We used supporting fire. Machine guns blasted away. 

We played 4 full turns and when we called things at 10 pm I had 1 lonely rhyfler left to his 5. Peter found the rules pretty quick to pick up and will hopefully take some Quar enthusiasm home with him.

I lost, but the real victory was making a new friend. 

This was game 24, for the year!
