Now for something different - Pete Foggin's Barbarossa

 On Martin Rapier's blog "Fred" was asking about the Barbarossa games at Hammerhead:

After a bit of a false start, I managed to get the rules out of Pete. They are designed for a participation game with the whole campaign of 1941 on one table with players taking the part of the Germans.





The rules:




Pete created the terrain from a painted cloth with stick on Scrabble letters for the locations! In addition he also created the 10mm figures and tanks...


The idea was to replicate one of those command tables seen in movies complete with long sticks to move units. These can be seen in some more photos from Pete of the game ay Claymore - bit on the small side but I have not been able to enlarge them unfortunately.












Pete has designed figures for Outpost, Warrior, Old Glory UK and QRF and some of his 10mm are commercially available here:

The Tyneside Wargames club meet weekly:

Other large games are the 1914 Schlieffen Plan in 10mm like Barbarossa.
