AUTUMN BIG GAME 2018 - MARITIME MODELLING CHALLENGE (2)

Those "volunteers" taking part in the Maritime Modelling Challenge may wish additional inspiration (apart from Alan's photos in the last post) to "get on down" to the model boat yard. The "Junior General" homepage provides these helpful images:

(a). Boats

British "Stormboats" and "Assault Boats" of the late WW2 era. Although HM Govt might wish for one of these as a complimentary means of naval defence, it's rather doubtful that the Umpires would allow it - these Fast Motor Launches have more of a chance! If the BUF wish to liaise with "a foreign power", these Wehrmacht assault boats might make an appearance in a later "amphibious" game : Part 1Part 2 and Part 3.

(b). Pontoon Bridges

The same "Junior General" webpage provides a very detailed, illustrated look at how to build a "Bailey Bridge" : from Part 1 here to Part 7, yes Part 7 here. The Umpires are providing the pontoon bridges for the forthcoming Autumn Big Game 2018 ("Bridge over Trebbbled Water") and promise to keep 1/60 scale bridge building endeavours a lot simpler. Special scenario rules for bridge building, artillery fire, smoke, sinking assault boats and swimming/drowning Anglican infantry will be put up on the blog well before the day of the BIG GAME.
