The Next Generation
A quiet half term day and so, sheltering from the pitiless heat of a nice day, me and my lad sat down and played this, the Airfix Battles game, pitched as an introductory game. As a player of about 40 years experience, I walked us through the rules, it being his first experience of a game and sequence of play. He took to it quite well actually, grasped the concept of command and control, rallied his squad when necessary and beat me quite handily. Hopefully we'll get to play a few more games and maybe we'll have a new generation of players in the hobby. He's already enjoying making and painting Airfix kits.
