Swedish house with traditional picket fence

I have got me a Prepainted Pegasus Russian Timber house from my friend Jonas that I now have Swedenised a bit, as well as I painted me some Perry Picket fence in the traditional "Falu Röd".

They will all be used for our "A Very Moderate Swedish Conflict" project.

My first thought was to get a brick roof but it feelt as to much work at the moment, so I might build me a completly new roof at some stage.

Swedish Picket Fence, you find some real life pictures here.

The Swedish flag are a must...

Set up for our next game shedual for tonight...

A Very Moderate Swedish Conflict AAR #10

It all started with a big boooom and the Barn was on fire as well as the Red´s new moonshine stil !
The Explosion allerted all White and Red forces in the area and all hell broke out...

This was the background to our club game of "A Very Moderate Swedish Conflict" some weeks ago, I run it on a 120x360cm table using more or less all minis we have painted so far. We was 7 or 8 players and as the umpire I realy didn´t have the time to take pictures so this will not be a full AAR, but at least you get some of the pictures of how the game progressed.

The sharpeyed of you may notice that before the game started I moved the Filling statioin a bit...

Red reinforcements arrive, the Moonshine Still guards just look at the blazing fire...they was prety drunk after making some molotovs...

Gruvettan also joins up to get the Whites that apperantly set the stil on fire...

White troops arrive in force, lead bu several armourd cars and trucks

The Red regulards confiscated some trucks to get a swift movement to secure the bridges...

The Gruvettan militia moving thorwards the closest bridge to setlle the score with tha approaching white forces...

One of the bridges are secured...

On the other side of the bridge they encounter some stiff opposition by a smal group of SMG armed finnish soldiers.

Swedish regulars from Stosstruppe KNÖS with armoured support.

More White reinforcements...

Halfway throught the game...

Each force had a flanking force that arriwed from the opposit side, here are the Propaganda truck from Huddinge Freikorps...

They meet hard recistance from the red´s that seek cover in the damaged barn...

The red deployed their AT-Gun on a hill to be able to cover both bridges...

The red flanking force appears from a unexpected direction...

Some of the red´s made a dashing advance in the end of the game to try to claim victory for seizing the filling station... we just called it a draw...

I hope you all will have a realy nice weekend !!!

The burning barn mystery solved...

Greate with all the feedback and guesses regarding the Burning Barn.

As several of you have suggested the reason of the Burning barn are of course a minor misshap by Shopkeeper Sjökvst when he was seting up a new moonshine stil for the Red´s that captured him in one of our lates games...

This explosion was also the starting point for our latest game as it allerted the White forces in the region...more about that later...

Some pictorial evidence about who set the Barn on fire...

You can clearly see the perp fleeing the scene...was it an accident od did hi do it on purpose...

Don´t know if it was smart to park the escape vehicle in the barn...

Shopkeeper Sjökvst and his delivery van...
