War Without Quarter - ECW

   
Pics from my tabletop miniatures game on Saturday with friends. We played an English Civil War scenario using the War Without Quarter rules set.

When a commanders' card is revealed he can also give orders to units within range so therotically a unit can manuever three times during each turn. Of course things rarely work out as planned ... 

a full blow by blow write up of the game is here at Jeff's blog with some great pictures (click the distorted versions on the left).

some of my pics with crappy phone cam are above. Linkie to my Flickr set is here.

This scene was where one of out Earthling mechs finally got the better of one of the invading Martian Tripods. Dave did an excellent job with the minis for this game.
