15mm Wargaming for Fun and Sanity: FL Crusties vs Japanese Corporate Mercs, Tarantino version.

I wanted to do something a bit more SF. Delving into my pile (in need or serious organising) I find part of my Japanese Corporate Mercenaries and I had my Crusties close to hand. Too close, I manage to drop both armies in one fell bump-.

The buildings are an old Poundland find. 2-3 pieces of scenery for a squid, proper job.

The rest are Snapdragon Studios, a real blast from the past- a mixture of 6mm & 28mm, so it evens out-.

I didn't get round to pointing the forces, so lets see how badly I did-. Ouch, 1,046 of crusties wasted 2,577 Japanese. Most of that was the walkers.

Why these should cut & paste differently from the online builder I've no idea. Shaddup.

Gor bless GZG, 2 sides, same company. Amazingly this is the first time the JCM have appeared on here. I was waiting for the power armor which I got, assembled. Plus vehicles for this urban force. Same, got in last years Brigade sale. Must complete project-.

Crusties- as used before. Needs vehicles other than walkers, come on Jon!

The Game
Tony took the Crusties. Horrendous period of initiative swapping. Needless to say he got all his on while I just got me point squad -.
