THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE HAMMER’S SLAMMERS
THE CRUCIBLE RULES SYSTEM HANDBOOK
Club-night Training game
I offered to run a training game for members of the London SELWG club who wanted to try out the rules so -
with the help of Kevin Dallimore - I ran a game aimed at those with no experience of the system (but lots of
experience of wargaming!).
The scenario: hold the town
It was a simple idea: the two new players (Geoff Hanney and
Brian Butler) ran a troop each from what could be termed a
Transitional period: around the 345TW period when older
Slammers troops were mixing with newer up-armoured AFVs.
So M9A1-3 Combat Cars, M9A7s, and M2A4 tanks with
M2A4UA. These were using this play sheet.
A fairly simple table was set up with a road leading into town
running along side the monorail. The road though a desert area
was lined with various ‘low rent’ buildings and industrial units
and speckled with shallow lakes (fish farms was my theory...)
and the town - occupied by just nine AFVs and no infantry to
keep it simple (four blower tanks, four combat cars - all of
mixed modernity - and a jeep) was held by Alois and the boys.
Attacking them were two whole detachments (a Strike and a
Heavy Assault) of the Zaporoskiye Brigade.
