Part 2: Reinforcements

So I'm just over halfway through Part 1 and, more importantly, have all the figures and terrain I need ready for the rest of the scenarios. So, time to start planning the scenarios for (the much shorter) Part 2. Three great scenarios, the latter two involve nothing too out of the ordinary, but the first of them requires my long-planned inter war militia units, motorcycle and sidecar recce plus a lot of buildings. Not sure how much paint drinking will happen, but plenty of glue-sniffing in my future.


Manufacturers are surprisingly coy about their sets of Syldavian Militia
(Note: Zvezda kits purchased long before February 2022)

Scenario 14 Reinforcing a Town

This scenario has the defenders of a town trying to hold out long enough for help to arrive. A mix of regular and militia forces in an urban environment just says Spanish Civil War to me, so Inter War it is. Plus I get to use all my 20mm buildings at once, which, given that most of them are unbuilt, implies a packed schedule of construction. (Then again, I have to play 6 more scenarios before I get to this one, so at current rates I have at least 18 months to get it all done.)


Single source supplier? Check! Consistent architectural style? Doh!

Scenario 15 Reinforcements in Defence: (1) On the Table

A generic scenario, with no great period or scale specificity, but the management of on table reserves seems like a Napoleonic era issue, so more 6mm with Polemos MdE.

Scenario 16 Reinforcements in Defence: (2) Off the Table

I played this scenario at my university club with (someone else's) 15mm Napoleonics. So a combination of nostalgia for that and the way the card deck is well designed to handle the uncertainty of reinforcement makes this perfect for Sharp Practice.
