Hammer's Slammers: Sheffield 2002
CLICK HERE: to see close up shots of this bridgeWe took Rolling Hot to Sheffield Tripples in March 2002. We ran through the convoy "Rolling Hot" scenario - combat cars and blowers (with some support) try to make it across a bridge under heavy attack - and enjoyed a two day unrushed game, which was nice!

Ivan's Waldheim Dragoons made there first appearance at a show game and tipped the balance: the Slammers lost half their combat cars, three tanks plus many ancilliary vehicles.

After taking heavy fire, the Slammers Command Car - while crossing the river - explodes under the bridge, weakening the structure in the process.
