Building a Swedish Barn

It haven´t been much painting for me the last week instead I been working on a terrain project, The Swedish Barn:)

Some weeks a go I got me a Free Ruined Farmhouse as a compenation for a rather delayed delivery, anyway I have now decided to use the major part on that kit  to build me a Swedish Barn.

The parts wasn´t realy perfect for my Barn so I had to make some major surgery to some of them to get me the basic structure.

Here are a picture of my own 1:1 scale Swedish barn that I use as a inspiration for my building project.

The parts from the Ruined Farmhouse will be used for the white parts of the barn in the picture below.

A Very Moderate Swedish Conflict AAR #8

Here comes a short AAR from our latest "A Very Moderate Swedish Conflict" game. This time both the Red and the White wanted to snatch a convoy with blackmarket goods...

We played it out on a 180x120 table with 300ish point forces

OOB

White side: Stötgrupp KNÖS

Leader: Lieutenant Von Oben accompanied by Nurse Sigrid

2x6 Regulars with rifles and a Automatic Rifle

1x Regular Armored Car with 2 crew and a LMG

1x8 Militia witn Rifles and grenades "TöLP, Group Berzelius"

Red Side: Gruvettan, miner union militia

Leader: Supervisor Göransson (as the Chairmen Engelbrektsson still are in captivity...) bringing the union banner today to rais the moral.

3x6 Milita with Rifles and grenades

1x4 Militia with a Light Mortar

1x Loyd Carrier with 2 crew and a A-T rifle

and of course also the "Civilians"

Leader: Shopkeeper Sjökvst

2 Lorries with Drivers and one extra rifle armed guard.

The Lorries rushed forward along the dusti road as the Gruvettan Milita tried to inteceapt and set up a road block...

Also the Stossgruppe KNÖS advanced swift through the Swedish contry side making god use of what ever cover that was provided...

The Lorries that was loaded with goods for the blackmarket slowely keept going, hoping to escape the approacing villians...

The Civilians only have 2 actions each turn compared to the militia and regulars that have 4 actions each turn.

Lookout!!! Pigs on the road !!!  Was it a keen plan by the miners from Gruvettan to get the Lorries to stop...

The first group of miners had reached the stone wall that was a very good cover for the comming assault...

Like lightning tha White sides armored car emerged and opening fire on the closest of the Lorrys...

All the miners was in good positions along the road to try to stop the Lorries

The minirs was prepering some dynamite to get the Lorries to stop...

Sjökvsten urged his drivers to put the pedal in the metal and save his "Bröloppskonfekt" that hi had manage to get for the lovely Miss Elvira at brokiosken...

The armored car closing in, but the LMG fire coulden´t stop the Lorries...

Gruvettan opened fire with the A-T Rifle on the Loyd Carrier as well as the Miners tried to stop them with dynamite...

One last shot with the A-T Rifle as the first Lorrie passed by... The White sides troops had now managed to advance close by and started to shoot at the Red miners as well as the lorries...

That last A-T rifle shot set the Lorry on fire, Sjökvst merely managed to get out...

Intense action with a butning lorrie, a sobbing Sjökvsten and both white and red that want to save whats left of the Lorrys cargo...

The other lorry also have come to a halt by combined dynamite and LMG fire, one of the white groups swiftley claim the lorrie as theirs...

The pigs dosen´t even seems to bother... the miners decid that they will try to recapture the Lorrie...

Mid game situation...

Sjökvsten tries to escape by foot...as a intense firefight take place...

A small group of miners running to the Lorry to get some of the gods...

But by a white counter attack in force they managed to chase of the miners and also save some boxes of Lucky Strikes...

To cover their retreat the Miners light mortar placed some Smoke rounds inbetween...

The rest of the miners that was trying to capture the other Lorrie got caught in a crossfire by the whits armored car and the troops guarding the lorry...

The white milita even managed to capture the Shopkeeper Sjökvsten...

The Red force decided that it was better to fight anotherday...

We had a realy good game this time, most of the rules worked fine and I think we are on the right track:)
