Hope I got the name right! George, I was moved by your posts over the last few months to have a wargame - haven't done it for over 20 years. My mate Simon is a genius with a paintbrush and has the most fantastic Naps, ACW, ECW - but also WW2. He recently called me up after 25 years.........
So here we go.....Simon sets out the Brits, coming to take Maltot, few miles west of Caen, over a hill full of corn in Normandy 1944.
The Germans have a few recce troops in a village, but a jagpanzer supports them. The foot sloggers slog and Churchills trundle. Unfortunately the jagdpanzer gets into position first and up brews a Churchill troop....
As if that wasn't enough, two werfer batteries have excellent accuracy and wipe out a whole company of infantry on the British left flank, advancing towards the village....
Obviously chuffed by his success the artillery general surpasses himself and does it again, dropping yet another two batteries of rocket artillery on the PBI, wiping out a second company on the British right flank as they make for a wood ........ouch
Just to pour further misery on the initial attack Two Tigers of army reserve appear and take out another Churchill unit........
I'm getting RSI now so that's it for now, back another time, but what a fun time we had! LOL George!
