Re: MURPHY ON ICE

THE LAKE PEIPUS (?) BATTLE  MAKES SUCH A GOOD WARGAME AND AN EVEN BETTER
MOVIE!

we did a sci-fi battle	roughly based on the campaign of the TUETONIC
KNIGHTS / SWORD BRETHREN fighting  the Kivlisites, and it was a lot of
fun

especially when those huge mother MBTs started to fall through the ice!

we also ran another mini campaign based on the other Baltic conflicts
involving the knightly order, and  again had great fun.
 
this  about a ba-zillion years ago (well at least  right after THE
EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and the battle on frozen HOTH), and everyone
involved painted up some troops and vehicles in artic colors.

the crusaders, were, ALTERNATIVE ARMIES 28mm FREE COMPANIES and LEVIES,
plus some converted  WW II vehicles in 1/48 scale.

the "kislivites" were  a mixture of big 25mm and 28mm figures - some
made by a now  defunct company from SCOTLAND that  actually made made
futuristic soldiers in artic warfare gear- 40K Valhallan IG, converted
40K Tallarn IG	and converted  40K plastic IG  infantry. their	vehicles
were converted and scratch built aircushion vehicles.

 basing material was a mix of white painted  sand,  small RR ballast,
and when dry,  some  white  glue and sprinkled on glitter to give that
snow look.

some of thess  things might still exist in the	DFW; i sold mine  when i
moved up here ( i nailed down a bunch of 40K Valhallans from a store
going  away- about a buck USA  per figure) and	a half dozen  or  so
ACVs of different  types.

most of our group is scattered all over the USA now days.
