Retired Wargamers Reloaded Present "Eagles and Lions at Carentan"
The date is 12 June 1944 and Carentan is awaking to the sound of gun fire. The town is currently held by units of the 6th Fallschirmjager supported by the 91st Air Landed Artillery, but the US 101st Airborne troops are attacking looking to take the town away from them.
The game is based around the actions of the 12th and 13th June 1944 and has been devised around the scenarios in the Rapid Fire scenario book “Normandy Games”. One of our group, Paul Barnett, came up with the original idea. He planned the game and was responsible for the layout and the 3d printing. Richard Sell carved or in his terms “whittled” the shape of the landscape, while Tony Toms, Paul Barnett and Laurence Taylor helped with the scenery.
Two scenarios from the Normandy Games book were combined and slightly enlarged to provide a more representative impression of the geography of the area. This also allows for two different games to be played. It took around nine months work to construct the set. The boards have been carved to shape to allowed the canal and rivers to be set into the boards and built up for the railway line. This also enabled the buildings to sit correctly on the hills. This was followed with time spent placing the hedges, trees and surfacing flocking the fields to get a realistic feel for the area.
The buildings and railway line are 3d printed, with some additional resin and plastic buildings all needing to be painted and weathered to fit within the set. The figures and vehicles are from a wide number of companies. These include, Skytrex, Peter Pig, Flames of War and The Plastic Soldier Company.
The scale 15mm was chosen as this gave the best opportunity to get the feeling of space and distance while still permitting the figures and the vehicles to be recognised. The Rapid Fire reloaded rules are quick to play and easy to explain so made an excellent choice for the game. Our members are always willing to answer questions or to discuss to the game with you at the convention.

Rubicon Models
(Due to unforseen circumstances Rubicon will not be attending in 2023 )
Rubicon's vision is to create the best hard plastic model kits for the Tabletop Miniature Game and Military Modelling market. Each kit is easy to assemble, highly detailed and accurate. Our main range covers World War II vehicles and tanks in 1/56 (28mm) scale.
What distinguishes us from other companies in this field is not only fine detail and accuracy but also all of our kits are multi-variant. Each kit you buy might have several choices of main gun, two choices of road wheels, three choices of gun turret, detachable protective armour or even two choices of hull.
Rubicon will also be demoing their new Vietnam skirmish game, "Oscar Mike", a Platoon level tactical tabletop game with light resource management, hidden orders, supporting fire and Command elements among others. The demo sees a Squad of Marines who have been chased into a nearby village trying to call in and Evac via Huey before they get overwhelmed by VC units.
