Inspired by the arrival of Battle for Liberation, here is an AAR from a great Normandy game played yesterday.
I've included details of the terrain and forces used, so you can actually re-play this game yourself if you want. If you do, let me know how you get on!
A third outing for the North of Caen scenario from the IABSM3 rulebook, also from Paul Scrivens Smith:
An Eastern Front game from the pen of Paul Scrivens Smith featuring action from the Belgorad-Kharkov offensive:
James Mantos reports on an early war game where the forces and terrain were generated using the new random scenario generator to be found in the IABSM3 rulebook:
A report on a D-Day game centred around the Paras' defence of Ranville. The scenario was taken from the Summer Special 2006, and you can see other AAR from the same scenario in the Games Day 2008 section of the AARs page.
Two AARs from the pen of new-to-IABSM player Paul Scrivens Smith. Both describe fighting the North of Caen scenario from the IABSM v3 rulebook, although one re-fight has been transposed to the desert!
Continuing the eastern front theme, here's another AAR from Tony Hobbs covering the defence of Kobrin.
Katzenstein reports on his first game of IABSM:
An AAR from Sicily courtesy of Victor.
More winter warfare goodness from Kev. Amazing terrain and figures.
Some lovely 20mm action from Tony Hobbz: it's Operation Barbarossa time!

Pascal posted a few pictures of a game of CDS that his group ran at the Nerviens convention in northern France.

Great Eastern Front Winter Warfare AAR from Kev: fantastic scenery and figures.

An AAR from the last battle of 2011. A tale of mismatched sides and an attempt at shameful gamesmanship!
A magnificent day's gaming today!
It's always nice to welcome a new player to your favourite set of rules, so I was very pleased to be invited round to new-to-IABSM Paul's house for a game.
Here is the report of how we played the "A Canadian VC" scenario from the IABSM3 rulebook not once, not twice, but three times in a row. I'm shattered!
A great Charlie Don't Surf AAR from Benito in Spain...and even on Christmas Eve I covet that tabletop!
It's off to Sicily for two great AARs covering battles from the Sicilian Weekend scenario pack.
First, Brian Cantwell takes us along the Road to Scoglitti, where US Airborne troops take on Tigers with nothing more than grit and determination.
Secondly, Robert Avery (i.e. me) follows the fortunes of the same paratroopers as they fight for their lives along the Biazza Ridge. The Tigers are on the rampage again!
