15MM SCIFI: FIRETEAM ANDROMEDA GAME 2

On Wednesday I went to Dave Paterson’s shed for another 15mm test game Fireteam Andromeda rules.  Once again Dave setup some superb terrain for the game including his new terrain mat from Lithuania.

This time I commanded the Federal forces attacking a NeoSov mining complex.  My force consisted of command, medics, 3 infantry squads, missile squad, 3 light and 3 heavy walkers.   My opponents had similar infantry supported by 2 security droids and 2 assault hover choppers.  I managed to capture the first mining station, contest the second and knock out all my opponents’ heavy weapons.  My casualties were 1 infantryman.

Again an enjoyable game – the rules worked and this time I had read the rules.

15MM SCIFI: FIRETEAM ANDROMEDA

As my wife was away in London Dave Paterson invited me to the latest weekly Wednesday evening game in his shed.  This was a 15mm SciFi game to test the Fireteam Andromeda rules.  Once again Dave setup some superb terrain for the game.  Mark Taylor and I commanded the NeoSovs whilst Guy Hunter and Steve Caffrey commanded the Federals.  Dave umpired.

The highlight of the game for me was when my NeoSov hover APCs managed to knock out 2 of the enemy heavy tanks with flank shots.  An enjoyable game – the rules work but more than one of us should have read them first.
