As I said earlier, Nick and I gave Battlefield Evolution a run out this evening - and what fast and furious (and bloody) fun it was! In our opinion, Mongoose has got a winner on its hands. The figures are nice, the vehicles are excellent (although the Warrior tank's main gun did droop a bit, but Nick's going to work on that), and the rules, while initially I feared they might be quite complicated, were quick to pick up and echoed AT-43 in their "you're hit, you die" mentally and speed.

Our scenario was simple: my Middle Eastern Alliance fighters ambushed a British patrol coming out of its base and, at first, I naively thought I might just win. We hit the patrol with a rocket launcher attack and forced them to hide in an adjacent building; then drove up to it with a technical, raking the house with machine gun fire.

Elsewhere, a black technical tore wildly around the streets, striking a blow directly at the British base and catching a command unit out in the open with equally lethal results. It was looking like the freedom fighters would be scoring a victory for their cause tonight...

Then out of the main entrance to the British camp rolled their Warrior tank and the tables turned! One technical foolishly tried to attack the tank head on and got the heck blown out of it for its efforts, then a second (the one that had slain the troopers in the first building) was taken out with a well-aimed shell!

The Warrior lumbered down the street as my soldiers scrambled to get their rocket launcher into position (being the only weapon with a hope in hell of denting the armoured beast). Instead the tank brought the house down around our ears with a barrage of shells and chain gun fire, before we could get a shot off!

Cunningly, we had drawn the tank into a position where our second rocket launcher could get a shot off ... only the launcher jammed! The Warrior proceeded to blow the front off this other building, taking out the only effective weapon we had left in our arsenal.
Our remaining two soldiers, and the black technical, fled into the night ... to come back and fight another day.
A brilliant game that has us really fired up for the next Battlefield Evolution encounter (which will be sometime after my wedding) and Nick figuring out when he can buy some more figures (and just how many) - which has to be the sign of a good evening's wargaming fun.
