This weekend should have been spent schlepping up to Newark for my annual pilgrimage to the Partizan 2020 show, but as with so many events at the moment, Partizan has been forced to cancel. However, they are running the show online as ‘Partizan in the Cloud’, so here’s my contribution – a refight of the Cassinga Raid, Angola 1978.
The game is played in 15mm, using modified Battlefront: WWII rules. The table is a 6-foot square, representing a 3km square in scale. All models built and painted by me. The infantry models, along with a lot of the vehicles and buildings are by Peter Pig, with some by QRF and Skytrex. The aircraft are various plastic kits and one 3D-printed model (the links below have all the details). Trees and scenic materials are by Woodland Scenics.
I know a lot of fellow-contributors will be setting up their games at home, but I don’t have the room for that, so here are some previously unposted photos of the game at Crusade 2020 in Penarth and links to my previous blog-posts on the terrain-building, modelling, scenario, play-testing and the game as played at Warfare 2019 in Reading.
Oh did I mention that we won Best Demo Game at Warfare 2019…? 🙂
Here are the links to my previous posts on my Cassinga Raid game:

So what’s next? Well it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make it to The Other Partizan in October, so if I’m spared I’ll be at Partizan 2021 with The Cassinga Raid… It’s a shame to waste it… 🙂
Here are some more photos of the game. Have a great weekend and stay safe. See you at Partizan 2021! 🙂
