Derby Worlds 2013 - Day Two

Pictures from games four and five of this year's Derby Worlds - a Normandy themed event.

Derby Worlds 2013 - Day One

Quick picture dump of games from day one of the D-Day tournament we are holding at Derby Worlds 2013.

Surrounded!

I recently got a game in against my regular opponent, Owen Barnes. We decided to run lists from Overlord and Atlantik Wall, given we have a D-Day themed tournament coming up at the end of September.

We randomised the mission, and ended up with 'Surrounded'. We do not play this very often, as you will not see this mission at a Reluctant Conscripts event.

The table

Jeep

Whilst out putting petrol in my own car, I encountered this specimen, a 'lend lease' 1942 Willys Jeep. The owner informed me that it landed with the British at Anzio, and that it was restored to be used in the film 'A Bridge Too Far'. Sadly, after some quick googling when I got home, it is a toy that is a bit too pricey for me. I'll stick to the 15mm ones (for now).

Prize support for Derby Worlds 2013

Battlefront, and Gareth Richards (who heads up the events and Rangers for UK) in particular, have been very kind in supporting Reluctant Conscripts events, and even thought not a traditional RC event, they have also provided support for Derby Worlds again this year.

This years tournament is a 1750 LW event, with lists only from Overlord and Atlantik Wall. The prize support reflects the theatre, with bocage, a beach assault company and a copy of the D-Day compilation amongst the prizes to be won.
