Junction Jeopardy by Henry Hyde

Been a follower of Henry since his days editing Battlegames Magazine. He has written several useful books on the hobby. Junction Jeopardy: A Coffee Break Campaign is the latest addition.

Junction Jeopardy presents players with 9 maps centred around a critical village at an important transport junction. The book is designed to be used as a small campaign of connected scenarios throughout a range of periods. It can be adapted for use with your favourite ruleset.

The book has suggested several ideas for periods I am interested in. The maps can be used for individual scenarios as well as a campaign. This fits into my idea for a multi system campaign for VBCW using Nuts!, Went The Day Well or One Hour Skirmish rules for smaller games and Chain of Command or Bolt Action for larger games. Possibilities exist for using Sharp Practice rules for horse & musket games.

Really useful product. I got my hard copy from Amazon, but you can get a PDF from Battlegames – Wargaming content from Henry Hyde, Creator of Battlegames on Patreon

A busy week has limited my opportunities to update my blog. I am off for the next two weeks. Apart from a couple of trips, I intend to have a bit of a clear out, whilst progressing a few of the projects on the to do list.

Number three on my priorities list is my early WW2 project. I already have a selection of figures and vehicles in 20mm covering the early 30s onward and capable of covering historical conflicts as well as fictional VBCW type conflicts. I have added these to my collection.

I have already put the three Miniarons Panzer Is together. They are very simple 10 part kits (one of which is the alternate 20mm cannon turret) very similar to the Zvezda 15mm kits. I will build the other kits over the next two weeks, along with a couple of others.
