Played a 20mm Rapid Fire game at the club last week.
I used the excellent Blitzkrieg scenario and forces books and ran
the defence of the Ypres-Comine canal scenario. It has 3 battalions of
germans with supports attacking 2.5 battalions of British who are
heavily outnumbered. Its a nice scenario to use as an intro as it has
only infantry + support weapons and off table artillery, no tanks
involved.
The British were eventually over-run, with the Seaforth highlanders falling back before routing, the Fusiliers also routed leaving a weak 2nd Northumberland to try and defend the canal. Some good german artillery made short work of them and the game was over - pretty much an historical result.
The British artillery was quite poor (my die rolling as usual) and I didn't manage to make as much use of my MG teams as I hoped.
Great game and the other two players who hadn't used Rapid Fire reloaded were impressed by the ease of the rules.
