That's a pretty cool looking command stand, they should roll better based on that alone. Thanks for the FWC love, I have a feeling there's a lot of Tomorrow's War batreps incoming on the blogosphere.
[Image]Last week we rolled out Future War Commander again, mainly because I wanted to see Conscript Mike's new Sahadeen Army out on the table. I also had some new 15mm terrain semi-completed so I wanted to use those as well. So we decided to fire up a 2500 point game pitting the Sahadeen rebels against the Earth Force oppressors.
[Image]The battlefield consisted of a built up area containing two objective buildings, and a third objective structure near the other table edge. The scenario required the attacker (Sahadeen Mike) to destroy the three objectives while the defender (Earth Force, me) defended them. I had to deploy a third of my force on table with the rest coming via mobile deployment. All of Mike's army mobile deployed and he got first turn.
[Image]The game was a bit difficult for me, for two reasons. One, I had only one command stand on-table and it was therefore rather difficult to control the sentry force. Second, I kept forgetting to move the command stand in the end phase so the rolls stayed difficult due to distance from the troops!
[Image]Mike's big tank (on hill in background) dwarfed even my heaviest stuff.
[Image]We also learned that in FWC, taking a defended building is very difficult when the defenders are unsuppressed. This is as it should be!
[Image]Here's a typical Command roll for my army command stand. It's been this way every time I've used these guys. I wonder if the Khurasan command figures are somehow incompatible with the Rebel Minis models that make up the rest of the army...?
[Image]Mike kabooms an objective. As I recall, the troops sent in to do the job ended up atomized due to a catastrophic explosion.
[Image]"We have you partially surrounded. Come out with your hands up!"
[Image] Mike's flanking force (commanded by Brian) is about to roll up on the third objective.
[Image]The end result was a clear victory for Mike's Sahadeen rebels.
In related news, I received a review copy of Tomorrow's War in the post today and we will proceed to set up a game in the next few weeks. Stay tuned to the blog!
