Got in a playtest game of Arc of Fire featuring a scenario from the book itself. Fun to play with "modern" toys (scenario set in the eighties - which is now as far back in time as WWII was when I started gaming...)
 |
| The board layout. The Angolans and Cubans come in from the left and have to exit off to the right. |
 |
| Same board from the other perspective. |
 |
| End of turn 1. The Cuban scouts get knocked around by a missile (lucky considering). A scout car is out in the front of this group - can't spot nuttin though! |
 |
| End of turn 2 or 3. More Angolan forces come on. The South African missile launcher was found and taken out. |
 |
| A couple turns later and the missile launcher was not taken out - it took out a T55 and then was destroyed. the other T55 failed a MC and got neutralized for a turn. |
 |
| Continuing to move up to the stream when a barrage starts coming down. |
 |
Game Over man! Game over.
My forces are spotted by a 90mm armed vehicle that takes out the PT-76s one by one and then my scout car. THEN the arty falls. The game ends pretty much historically with my Angolans getting smacked around. |
 |
| A closer view of the 90mm armed vehicles. I think the name was ratele. |
This is once again at John's house and as you see he has a nice large spot for laying out a map and a nice layout to go along with it.
