COMBAT PHOTOGRAPHER

Pictures on this page have been taken on the far flung battlefields by our brave combat photographers.

This section contains pictures and after acting reports from games we have played over the years. We play many more games than we report on as reporting is a chore in itself! The most recent game appears at the top of the list. I will also add games form year past as I dig up pictures.

These pictures were taken at the "Dogs of War" clubhouse during one of our 20mm WWII battles. 

This is a picture shows my German Panzer grenadiers assaulting a French held town in "1940". Sdkfz 251 halftracks supported by Pz I s and Pz II s deliver the Grenadiers to their jump off point. Where are the French? Judging by the destroyed Pz II they must have left some anti-tank mines behind!

Hey there's those pesky French. They've withdrawn across the river and setup defensive positions. Do you think it will help?

The battle was fought using FRONTLINE a rule set for fighting WWII land battles using 20mm ( or 15mm ) figures and vehicles. Frontline is a detailed set of rules covering squad and platoon level combat in WWII. The rules were written by myself and several Friends over a period of several years. The refinement of these rules is an ongoing project. Wargaming at the squad level in WWII is unlike any other period due to the complexity of the weapons and the way the troops employed them. The average soldier in WWII could field the fire power of a Civil War company! Add to this that warfare in this period was no longer the stand up slug fest of old with clearly defined lines of battle and only a few types of weapons, but a series of small engagements with camouflaged soldiers waiting in ambush with rifles, machine guns, grenades, bazookas, flamethrowers, and all manner of weapons.
