I found my old copy of Tabletop Games MTB yesterday, so have squeezed it into the pile of stuff I'm taking on holiday, even though it's a bit long in the tooth. This is a great little coastal warfare game using cardboard counters for the MTB's, MGB's, E Boats and Coasters that fought up and down the East Coast in WW2. The rules are simple but require quite a lot of book keeping and order writing, which was fairly typical of wargame rules in the 1970's when it was written. I played this game over and over again when I was a kid and got hours of fun out of the experience, so it will be interesting to see if it has lasted the test of time.
Welcome to my solo board wargaming blog. I like a nice cuppa and a decent doorstep sarnie with my games, so it's time to get a brew on! This blog will follow my occasional adventures in hex and counter board wargaming, 'off the shelf' pre-painted miniature wargaming and 'print and play' paper wargaming. I like to keep it really simple so there's more 'beer and pretzels' than high complexity number crunching on the menu.

I have vague memories of playing this game. You could always get David Manley's Action Stations rules to update things a bit.
ReplyDeleteI've got Action Stations and a whole swathe of other coastal warfare rules, together with 1/600 scale boats for both sides. Just need to pack something simple for the kids to play on holiday, so MTB fits the bill. I wish someone would produce card counters for coastal warfare vessels, which I would definitely make use of for holiday gaming.
ReplyDeleteGreat memories this and spaceships game too.☺
