The Rise of China

The game concludes However, in the end the Chinese couldn’t stop the Alaudae: Tony was taking a bit of a licking and tried to get his support at the end of turn one and failed to roll a six. But after turn two he added one to his dice roll (meaning my Waldheims would now turn up on turn 5) and he bowled within the 4,5,6 spread so he got his second detachment and they came in on the flank. My Han were con-firing and rapid- firing as much as they could (especially the single infantry buzzbomb unit defending the space port command building) trying to hold out for the support unit, but Tony ground them down and blew the Space port building (and the buzzbomb boys in it) with a single, well placed shot. They then proceeded to drive onto the tarmac and blow the three APCs that were hidng there. Colonel Bai had lost over 50% and took a morale check which - impressively - he passed but by the end of turn 4 the Walheims were still a turn away and the Alaudae had achieved their victory conditions and so they surrendered. Conclusion The new weapons seem to work well. Example: Heavy Hypersonic Missile launcher: Sh 3, FP Range dependent: Short: 0/4  Medium: 3/6 Long+: 4/8   Brigade continues to work on the vehicles in both 15mm and 6mm. Play sheets and they will be available soon! John Treadaway
