Flames of War at WARCON 2015

I've got slack with doing reports lately, so here's to trying better in future.

WARCON was held over the weekend of October 24-25 and included a Flames of War tournament alongside 40K, X-wing, Warmachine, and other events, Cosplay, etc. The FOW event turned out to have quite limited attendance, nine players on day one and only eight on day two. Still, those of us that attended stuck it out and made it work.

After being pipped to first place by my brother at ICON 2015 (pic dump), we swapped places this time as I got first with British Rifles and him second with a silly German 503. Schwere Tiger list that did surprisingly well. Frans and Renier tied for third place.

I won't bother with a full AAR as only a few games were interesting, just some highlight pics. All I took can be seen HERE.

First table I set-up.

Second table I set-up.

After arriving early, I took shots of the tables I did then forgot to take pics of the others.

Massed Soviet attack but my Bren gunners are on the job and it fails.

If you go down to the woods today...

Yes, two re-rolling King Tigers. On a hill. Seeing everything. "Pass me another 8.8cm round..."

KTs lighting-up everything in sight.

Same table, next game: Hero Motostrelk holding the ridge against German armour.

Panthers and Pzgrens deciding to mix it up with my Rifle Platoon in a wood...

...who promptly show them how it's done.

RoF3, re-roll misses King Tiger on the Ridge...this is not going to end well.

They don't like it up 'em.

Achtung! Jabos!

Can they hold?

No...

In with the bayonet.
