IABSM AAR: Sealion at Bridlington

/

Another spectacular I Ain’t Been Shot Mum after action report from Mercian Miniatures taken from the IABSM Facebook Group and featuring miniatures from 1st Corps.

This game in an Operation Sealion encounter at what started off as Bridlington but then became a generic British seasside town. The set up is truly inspirational and well worth a look.

IABSM AAR: Up From Sword Beach

/

Here’s a quick After Action Report from Mark Luther. This was a 6mm I Ain't Been Shot Mum game played at GigaBites Cafe in September 2025.

This was a fictitious scenario that was based on some units of the 21st Panzer Division moving closer to the Sword Beach landing area than they did historically on June 6th.

IABSM at The Other Partisan

I didn’t get to The Other Partisan this year: real life getting in the way of wargaiming again!

A pity, as there look to have been many excellent games on display including those in the now usual Lard Zone.

Featured below are photographs from Michael Curtis from the I Ain’t Been Shot Mum Facebook Group of the superb 28mm Gold Beach, King Sector, 6th June 1944 game.

IABSM AAR: New Player's First Game

/

Richard T from the IABSM Facebook Group played his first game the other day, and here are a few photos of the battle.

Richard commented:

Our first game ! Pretty fun day was had. Think they tick all the boxes for me, really like the 'blinds' and the activation deck particularly. Command, control and communications are simple and smooth...wonderful. Early days still, but I have high hopes.

Lovely looking figures: I really like that style of painting.

IABSM at OML10

My afternoon game at Operation Market Larden X was Phil & Jenny’s excellent Throw Them Back scenario for I Ain’t Been Shot Mum.

This involved a German counterattack on one of the Normandy beaches just after D-Day, with my instructions being, as one of the German players, to get a significant force “onto the sand”.

This turned out to be a cracking encounter with exciting action right from the start.
