This year's TFL Games Day focussed on the Allied airborne landings that were the immediate precursor to D-Day. Lardies throughout the world played games themed around this event.
Broadly speaking, activities at Lard HQ focused on the British 6th Airborne Division's operations; whilst other islands of Lard around the globe played games focusing on the US 82nd Airborne Division's operations.
In all, fourteen games were played: reports are here.
More photographs from the recent 2008 Games Day, where the same four scenarios were used by Lardies around the world to give the rules a final play-test before publication.
We now have photographs from Lard Island; Denmark; Tasmania and North California.
You can go straight to the AAR here.
After a work- and baby-enforced absence, a whole raft of battle reports added:
Â
An excellent report, with plenty of pictures, of how the "Lardies West of the Rockies" fought their first battle from the Fall of the Liongate scenario pack.
Report from a playtest of Scenario 20 of the soon-to-be-released Anzio supplement. The Germans try to break through the US lines as part of Operation Fischfang.
Scenario One from the Fall of the Lionsgate supplement: the Japanese enter WW2 at Kota Bahru, Singapore (not Pearl Harbour: due to international time zones, the attack on Kota Bahru was actually before Pearl Harbour).
Exciting action from the Kranji Penninsular. Will the Ockers hold the Japs at bay?
More battle reports loaded. This time we have two from the Charlemagne mini-campaign from the 2006 Xmas Special, and two from the Fall of the Liongate scenario supplement.
Three AARs from Ed Sturges added
I have uploaded around five battle reports that Richard Clarke had previously posted on the TFL Yahoo Group.
A battle report from Martin Bailey added to the Tales from Vyazma sub-section. The Soviets get a bloody nose near Belyj.
A battle report from the Fall of the Lion Gate scenario pack: Baluchs try and hold off the Japanese at the village of Nee Soon on Singapore.
Battle report from "Hell's Highway".
Phil Gray has sent me some pictures of a recent game using the Airstrip Road scenario from Fall of the Lion Gate.
I have now added even more picture from the recent TFL Malaya Day 2006.
An Ostfront battle report added.
I have added a microsite for the recent TFL Malaya Day 2006: where almost a score of the country's finest Lardies gathered to re-fight the battle of Lardak, a thinly disguised version of the battle of Kampar.
The microsite contains all the briefing documents, photographs and after action reports for the day. If anyone there has anything else to add (the missing AAR's or some more photographs) please click here to e-mail them to me.
"On the Road to Gravelines" after action report added.
