02 Hundred Hours Starter set comes with over 100 19mm tokens for the game and I wanted to protect them from the rigours of gaming, being drawn from a bag, etc and there are two ways I could have done this.

Firstly, I could have replaced all the tokens with MDF ones, but no one does them at the moment.

Secondly, I could use coin protectors for them.

There is a third version and thats using the technique Gerry used in his Gerry Can, turning the tokens into buttons but I am too lazy for that.

So I went for the coin protector and went for Coin Capsules Container Plastic Coin Holder Protect Gasket Coin Case with Storage Organizer Box for Coin Collection Supplies Fit 5 Sizes 17/20/25/27/30mm, with the coin holder case included 100 foam gaskets, adjust the inside diameter of the coin case and prevent coins from shaking and rubbing. The inner diameter of the foam gaskets is 18mm, 21mm,25mm, 27mm and 30 mm, suit for holding most kinds of coins, easy to separate the foam rings from the EVA foam pads based on your coin’s size and put the coin in the capsules.

I thought that they looked smarter than simply just having the tokens in the plastic capsule and yes, it is a matter of taste.

You simply punch out the centre EVA form at the size you want, 19/20mm in this case, and then put them into the capsule and close it.

Following are some videos from Grey for Now Games on how to play 02 Hundred Hours

I have finished assembling and basing all the miniatures for the games plus 4 extra SOE Agents/Partisans. I love the lipped bases that Wargames Atlantic have done with a hole for a 2mm magnet to fit in and it covers the puddle base of the figure too. I have used Vallejo Ground texture for the bases and now they are ready for priming.

02 Hundred Hours is a skirmish wargame played with a force of 5-20 models, fighting out night-time raids in World War II.

Field an elite force of SAS Commandos to infiltrate the enemy lines under cover of darkness. Launch attacks on radar stations, munition factories, airfields, bridges and rail lines. Sneak past sentries, take them out with silent attacks, or open fire with a devastating ambush. Plant charges to destroy your objective, assassinate a target or grab vital intel, then fight your way to safety before reinforcements arrive!

Or play as the defenders, carefully setting patrol routes so your sentries can spot raiders in the shadows. Utilise guard dogs, officers or military police and make use of informants and intercepted transmissions to thwart the attackers’ plans.

This product contains:

• 36 Multi-part 28mm plastic figures:
     12 British SAS
  18 German sentries, officers and Feldgendarmes
  6 guard dogs
• 64 page Rulebook
• 80 Gaming Cards
• 8 Custom Dice
• 104 Counters
• 36 Plastic Bases

SAS in North European kit. Equipment includes: Sten guns, Tommy guns, Lee-Enfield rifles (with scoped version), Bren gun, Welrod pistol, De Lisle carbine, Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knives, demo charge and radio operator.

Heer sentries, officers, Feldgendarmes (military police) and guard dog handlers. Armed with ‘Mauser’ rifles, MP40 SMGs and Luger pistols, you can also make figures with torches, binoculars, smoking a cigarette, checking papers, carrying their helmet, saluting and even surrendering!

The British in the set are more dynamic and attacking in their poses as they should be as these are the raiders in the game. Like the Germans they have 6 main bodies and a ton of extras that can be added to them to make them more individual.

Again Wargame Atlantic have done a cracking job with these guys and I like them very more.

The Germans is this set are not like your normal WW2 Germans as they are more like your guards and sentries rather than the normal combat troopers. Heer sentries, officers, Feldgendarmes (military police) and guard dog handlers. Armed with ‘Mauser’ rifles, MP40 SMGs and Luger pistols, you can also make figures with torches, binoculars, smoking a cigarette, checking papers, carrying their helmet, saluting and even surrendering!

They are from Wargames Atlantic and they are a lovely set of figures. You get basically 6 main bodies but you can made a ton of individual figures, all of them different. What i love are the dogs that come we the set.

I have decided to give up on my Baron’s War project and have decided to move in a different, less colourful direction of the Second World War action direction and have dipped my toes into 02 Hundred Hours, Night Raids in WW2.

I have to confess that I do love the Second World War, mainly because my granddads where involved and fought for England and I loved playing with my Airfix kits and figures when I was young. In fact, the first wargames rules I brought and played with was Airfix’s Second World War rules and I played them to death.

So when these rules came out, it appealed to me as it was small scale skirmish game and I like the Wargames Atlantic plastic figures as they are lovely kits and have a ton of extras with the sprues for both the German Guards and the Bristish SAS.
