This Quar's War take 2

The shop is closed this week as well, but Mrs. Rabbitman is back to work, so I spent Monday indulgently rolling dice and pushing Quar around to do another playtest of This Quar's War.

Pretty much the same table as last time. Objectives remained the same; capture more buildings than the other side.

New tractors needed to be on the table. So both sides got two to try out the tractor rules better.

I also decided to try the Aerocraft rules, because why not?

Royalist set up. Both sides put their tractors on this more open side of the table

Coftyrans get into the village




Long range duel between tractors. Hopefully I gave some good input. I found the damage tables a bit too crunchy and inconsequential. After multiple hits with the same damage result, I decided that the tractor in the foreground would have bailed out.

M3b HMG team locks down the right flank. I'm still trying to figure out how the Zone of Effect rules work.




Lunch break!

The Coftyran HMG chewed up a Crusader squad advancing on the village, so I brought in an airstrike, because I could. 

I let the HMG do AA fire, damaging the Kite, but still taking a casualty

Squad with attached LMG team gets chopped up badly by some good rhyfle fire from across the street

The Kite is dropping a bomb on the Royalists sheltering in the Huvi pen. Meanwhile the Baeliog finally blows up a Chyweetl



So that's my 21st (?) game of the year. Hopefully my feedback will be useful to the game writers.

The Holiday Plague made a counterattack today. So no painting or dice rolling. Midgard finally arrived and too sick to do anything with it.

Boo.

  1. More fun in the land of Quar. I was looking around online, trying to find gameable versions of the Ford M1918 3 ton tank and I found out about the "peugeot char 1918". Look it up. It just screams Quar.

  2. Beautiful shots, James. There's so much movement, especially in the shots of the squads advancing across roads and through the village.
    I hope your cold is better. I just caught one yesterday, so there's definitely something making the rounds.
