Golgotha's Games - Tank battles - VE Day
Herewith, some pictures of a game I played with both my sons and wife for VE day. Tried new initiative rules today which worked out relatively well. This was one of the first games my wife has had with me - hope it is not the last... Initially I thought the forest would hamper the Germans allowing the Soviets to over run their positions - alas this was simply not the case.

Absolute carnage was wrought on the advancing Soviet onslaught. As vehicle after vehicle became a burning wreck. Tea light candles with smoke adding a great effect.
The Germans in position and effectively camouflaged from the enemy.
Sadly the building got hit killing the innocent civilians and a pig hiding within.
This Tiger was very indecisive at one point and also had a rather unsuccessful reverse in attempt to find some cover.
Even less successful was this Tiger in that it got destroyed. It did however take out 5 Russian tanks - enough to help win this battle but I am afraid not the war.
Annoyingly a KV1 destroyed my Panzer III hiding in the woods.

Golgotha's Lord of the Rings - Some fellowship
Herewith, some of the key characters. These and a few others are still a work in progress, but sufficient for the table as it were.

Golgotha's Lord of the Rings - Sauron
Herewith, an old GW Classic Sauron on throne. I do like the tentacles entwined around tortured souls. This miniature is certainly fun to paint. I still hope to do a more elaborate base with stairs and piles of skulls. These miniatures are hard to come by and go for a small fortune on ebay. I was lucky to pick mine up for next to nothing, years before Lord of the Rings was popularised by the movies.

I am relatively happy with how these came out they do look rather terrifying with their beady little eyes.
Flag conversion. Rather happy with the skull above the flag. Made from green stuff.
Tried to give some variety in appearance and skin tone.
Top view giving an indication of numbers.
I an not particularly keen on these Trolls, nor do they look like Trolls in my mind.
