28MM VBCW: BERWICK 1938 GAME 2

I was at Hugh Wilson’s this week for the 2^nd part of our Battle of Berwick VBCW game.  Tim Watson worked out the scenario for the first game and Colin Jack the scenario for this second game.  Hugh has done great work again on the terrain for the games.  Due to camera problems I did not get any photos for either game but I have used Dave O’Brien’s photos for this report.  Bart wrote a report on the first game which is at

The scenario over the 2 games was that the forces of the Scottish Republic had captured Berwick in the first game and this game was the counter-attack by the forces of the BUF and the Northern Militia.  We had 7 players for the game plus 2 umpires/supporters.

BUF forces advance on the bridges and their obstacles

The BUF outnumbered the Scots by approximately 2 to1 but due to command limitations within Bolt Action they could not deploy all their strength onto the table.  The highlight of the game was the airstrikes by both sides which went astray hitting their own units.

At the end of the game the BUF had cleared two of the bridges but not entered the town.  We have decided for the game that night has fallen and the BUF will fall back to the south bank to regroup.   This game will be continued…….

Bart has written a report of this 2nd game including the OB:
