'Beer & Lard Day' at Burton on Trent

Originally posted 15th November 2010

This weekend saw the first Burton-upon-Trent “Beer & Lard Day”: a day’s wargaming that gives those people unable to easily travel down to Lard HQ for our annual events an opportunity to try out games from the TooFatLardies stable of rules.

My role was to run the games using I Ain’t Been Shot, Mum!, the Lardies’ WW2 company level ruleset.  I ran three different scenarios on the day, the first of which was 3RTR at Hames-Boucres: the third game from the Defence of Calais early war scenario pack.

The first (of hopefully many!) After Action Reports using Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face: the IABSM sci-fi variant from the TFL Christmas Special 2009. Here, a brave rapid reaction force is ordered to "Hold until Overrun" in the face of insectoid assault from The Hive. Epic stuff!
