Well done! The only problem I see is that I haven't even started acquiring the Romano Brits yet, now I fear my Orcs are going to end up fighting the BEF!

Fantastic for making this resource available, will go and look at them now. Norm

Played a good game with these yesterday at Partizan. Some nice mechanics in them to make you make decisions

Massed firepower and machine guns at close range ... deadly
being less than 4 hexes from enemy artillery ... deadly
being suppressed with outnumbering enemy adjacent ... game over

Apologies folks, on page 25 of the Raging Empires Rules, two small text boxes explaining the photos were missing from the Raging Empires pdf. This has now been updated.

A few pictures from the Raging Empires participation game at 'Partizan in the Park'

It was good to meet and chat to people at the Raging Empires WW1 game

Below are some pictures from the game, sorry about colour of the photos, the yellow lighting was not helpful!

I realise this is resurrecting an old threaddress but what sized forces were usedoing in the demo games from a couple of years ago. For some reason I am in a couple of the pictures from phalanx. Odd that two years later I may be making my first purchases for my new project!

Hi Sean,

Sorry for the delayed response but I've been trying to find the planning sheet for above scenario which lists the forces involved. I seem to recall that the Germans had; one field gun battery(6x77mm), one battalion of infantry and a squadron of Ulhan cavalry. On the allied side there were; two battalions of French infantry, one battalion of British infantry, one squadron of British cavalry and a British 18pdr field gun battery. Now that I've made my best 'guestimate' I will surely come across the aforementioned planning sheet!

Thanks Paul, I thought it was roughly that from my memory of the game. I've switched my attention to the Somme rather than Passchendale for my own first foray with the figures and rules. I'm going to look at the fighting for Theipval Ridge which took place in late September. I might be able to get a small game going with a brigade a side by then (speed painting will be key!)
