Now that I've been working on the partisans for a while, I have more than enough Very British Civil War units on each side for a full game of Xenos Rampant. Since on one side I have regular 8th Army troops and on the other a mix of Navy, Canadian and LDV, this would seem to represent somewhere in northern England, on the border between the Albertine enclave and the Royalist Army of the Severn Valley.
Albertines (Defenders of Sautmeat-on-Rye)
Heavy Infantry: Canadian regulars. 2 points.
Recon Infantry: Canadian Mounties. 2 points.
Light Infantry: Naval infantry. 1 point.
Light Infantry, Reinforced: Naval infantry. 3 points.
| Since this squad was eight strong, I've added leftovers from other squads. |
Light Infantry Reinforced, Heavy Weapon: Naval Infantry with Lewis gun. 5 points.
Light Infantry, Reinforced, Heavy Weapon, Guerillas, Undisciplined: LDV with MG34. 5 points.
Support Infantry, Artillery: LDV with French 75. 7 points.
Soft-skin Vehicle, Civilian, Technical: Open-topped vehicle with pintle Vickers. 3 points.
Royalists (2nd Wessex Regiment, formerly of the Mobile Division)
Light infantry, Reinforced, Heavy Weapon: Infantry squads with Bren gun. 5 points. (X2)
Light Infantry, Reinforced: Infantry squad. 3 points. (X3)
Support Infantry, Heavy Weapon: Vickers team. 7 points.
Support Infantry, Indirect: Mortar team. 6 points.
Fighting Vehicle: A13 Cruiser tank, 6 points.
Fighting Vehicle, Light Armor: BUF L6/40. 4 points.
Either side:
Fighting Vehicle, Light Armor, Anti-Personnel: Rolls-Royce armoured car. 3 points. (X2)
Soft-skin Vehicle, Transport (10): Bedford QLT truck (I think!) 4 points. (X2)
These are well-oversized for normal games (24 points). In fact, if I give the extra vehicles to the Albertines, it's 42 points apiece. Legal armies, even, because only one fighting vehicle is allowed per 18 points. So this is enough for perhaps a small campaign, or a large game played at the club with two or three players a side.












Excellent looking troops. I will be interested to hear how the games go and the rules.

Looking forward to trying it, though I'm not sure I can do it solo so will see if the club might go for it.
DeleteYes, a good set of resources, bring your setting to life with a campaign.
ReplyDeleteVBCW is practically made for campaigning...
DeleteSuper looking troops. Love the sailors in white.
ReplyDeleteI can't paint 'em, but I can pick 'em!
DeleteI'm not sure whether to cheer for the Naval landing parties or the Canadian army! (I have auld ties to each) But all of both sides look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope both will show their quality in-game.
DeleteSuper selection for VBCW games
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree. I haven't much of the local "funnies," partly because I've no idea what they would be, but I've got a start that might build character in play.
