A long shot of the table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At Cold Wars 2018 in Lancaster, PA, last weekend, Chris Palmer and I ran a GASLIGHT game involving giant anthropomorphic frogs. \u00a0We haven’t had the frogs on the table in a couple of years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The game was pretty fun. \u00a0The scenario is from The GASLIGHT Compendium. \u00a0The North American frogs are part of the advance guard for a frog column. \u00a0The South American frogs are trying to cut off their line of march.<\/p>\n

The North American frogs quickly deployed from their march formation to engage the South Americans.<\/p>\n

The North American right flank held on and began to advance, but the dragon flies moved to a blocking position and determined to hold their portion of the road.<\/p>\n

The South Americans were crushing the North American left flank, preparing to cut the road. \u00a0They also had the dragon flies across the road. \u00a0At that point, we called the game a South American victory.<\/p>\n
