Through the Mud & Blood Simplified

Actually Through the Mud and the Blood Very Lite. I finally got my "crew" to the painting table. The results won't win any competitions, but you have to start somewhere.



And here are some that I've been working on - for way longer than I care to admit. But they are almost finished.



Then it was off to the gaming table for an expedited version of Through the Mud and the Blood, aka "Patrick's Rules". I guess you could say the game comes with a lot of sound effects and relies on the development of special characters that seem to have unlimited access to "The Luck of the Devil" card that provides them with immunity to snipers, tank tracks, heavy machine guns, gas, barbed wire, bayonets, bullets, and shelling. These characters also seem to benefit from the "Storm Trooper Move" borrowed from Flames of War, allowing them to traverse extraordinary distances along trenches, over sodden stretches of No-Man's-Land, and shell craters.
