Bloody April canvas eagles

The month of April 1917 was known as Bloody April by the Royal Flying Corps. The RFC suffered particularly severe losses — about three times as many as the Imperial German Army Air Service during the spring offensive in support of the ground assaults.


We played 5 games in four hours (with two coffee and one lunch brake in between) we tuned up the game mechanics a little as we played, the game was on a six by five table with four players and was normally over in 15 minutes although one did last less than three minutes.

We had a good day out, the Germans however had the worse of it and this April ended up very bloody for them! I was happy how the rules played, the key to convention rules is simplicity and speed so you can churn players through the game. A big thanks to Ryan, Boyd Ian and Greg For the great games

The Franks are coming

Off the desk for the "Aftermath" competition on the clubs forum some foundry Franks, I will be using them for markers for games.
