Hotspots and IEDs and Wrecks! (Oh My!)

Last-minute touches for Gaelcon tomorrow

Hotspot #2 (from S&S)



All five hotspots. I really like these resin pieces - very easy to paint up and with nice detail


Wrecked pick-up truck. (Again from S&S). I'm not too sure about my colour choice on the body. Too similar to the windows maybe...


Some IEDs. I got a ten-pack from S&S, some nice variety in it, but here's three of them.


A couple of Liberation Miniatures IEDs - all artillery shells


See you there, and I'll be posting heaps of game reports next week in any case

British Reinforcements

Reinforcements have arrived just in time to help 'B' Platoon out.

A Viking armoured fighting vehicle

A fire team clears a bazaar



Second fire team exits the Viking to set up rear security



Marksman sets up on rooftop



Section leader directs light mortar (51mm)



Special Forces team moves through alleyway



They may not seem much, but they could make all the difference.

Wilson's Wadi - Map

I played for a while with basing the entire map of the campaign for Wilson's Wadi on actual Satellite imagery, but eventually fell back to the hand drawn schema I've gotten used to.

Anyone out there had good experiences using real satellite imagery as game maps?

Each of the nine scenarios is set in a section of this larger map, so some sections of the village will be reused

Inevitably I'm guessing that players will remember certain encounters based on the terrain layout..."the poppy field of death!" and so on may enter wargamer folklore!
