It wasn't all Space Marines yesterday, we also gave Flames of War a go; I've been painting armies for it for 2 years and only managed to play one game (late war Germans v early war British) which was quite a while ago.
This time we tried again with some more appropriate armies (early war Brits can't damage late war panzers!) not much in a way of a battle report but lots of lessons were learnt...
a) read the rules before playing
b) make sure you listen to your opponent and don't think 2000points means 1000pts)
c) Don't try and assault a machine gun platoon
d) think before charging in, it's not 40k!
I took some pictures, the scenery is only 40k stuff so looks a bit odd. I'm going to build up the Paras to 2000points now and another game is planned on proper terrain in two weeks time.
