Yet another Dominion of... variant now! I confess that I approached this one with a degree of scepticism, but happily that turned out to be misplaced. As with it's predecessors this book contains the rules, a detailed example game and a number of scenarios. To give it a proper try out I decided on two very different battles using my 6mm toys.
First up is the battle of Mokra. The wicked Germans have panzers and dive bombers but the plucky Poles have an armoured train! We’ve previously fought this with both
Megablitz and
NBC.
The Stukas didn’t show up and like our NBC game, it ends with panzers shooting up the train.
Second go. The Stukas were (very slightly) less rubbish. Panzer’s considerably more so. Clearly, the armoured train remains the weapon of the future.
A few days later the Poles launched a major counterattack on the Bzura. Again, I’ve done this with Megablitz many years ago - using these same toys!
This time the instruments of Blitzkrieg triumph in game one….
…with an almost identical story in game two!
Game one. Something of a walkover for the Brits.
Game two. The Italians make more of a fight of it but those bloody Matildas are nearly impossible to kill!
Great fun and nice to get some toys on the table.

Great to see, Tim! The sequel Dominion of the Sherman and T-34 will be out this month, with tweaked rules to model later war WW2, and another 24 battles.
I have my copy on order and look forward to trying out these rules. Your two games have convinced me that I was right to buy them.
All the best,
Bob
Bob,
The modifiers in Dominion of the Blitzkrieg are really simple, deceptively so, for the heart of the system lies in the twining of Bombers and Tanks by the Attacker to achieve Blitzkrieg.
