Har: Con Battle.

To ensure that the battle will go according to plan for Har:Con, we ran a test game a week before. 
 In this pic, we ran the battle at the beginning of episode 3. Where the 3 gundams encountered the Zakus in the woods.

 And this is the objective. One zaku in the pit, bunkers you see here I scratch built from wood and plastic. The helicopters are from Hawks Wargames, part of their Dropzone Cmmander. Only thing I could find close enough to the Zeon Gunships. http://www.hawkwargames.com/products/ah-16-cyclone
The Zaku Cannon my brother scratch built from the old 1/144 80's kit and a newer HG Zaku.





 The fighting in the woods was fierce but all 3 gundams survived.
 Not according to plan, the Zeon Helicopters began moving in.
 As the gundams began assaulting the position without Shiro, Zaku's began coming in.
 First to go down was Karen. Cockpit survived but the gundam didn't. To tell a long story short, that battle in the woods ate up so much ammunition and shields that we skipped it and decided to have the two gundams, Sanders and Karen with the Hovertruck assault first and then Shiro arrives with the guerilla's.
 Har:Con. Things went well. Unfortunately, I have forgotten to take pics earlier in the battle and this was towards the end of the battle.
This time, sanders has fallen but still active and in a bitter hand to hand battle, the gundam won over the Zaku cannon. The guerilla's were destroying pillbox after pillbox. Shiro assaulted the base as Karen dealt with the enforcing zaku. Norris is still firing from afar.

At the end of the battle, a pillbox flipped the hovertruck but Michel and Eledore survived. The pillboxes were destroyed and the Zeke's retreated. All had fun that day.
