Too Fat Lardies

The new chat room showed that there are some Lardies nearer to me than previously known, so I thought it would be worth giving this topic a bump to remind everyone of the locator's existence. Not much hope of getting together now, but I, for one, would appreciate a little light at the end of this tu...

"... do I only need to leave space for a D6?"

Yes - iirc from the videos.

My (feeble) understanding is that the number of figures used (as well as their size) is left to personal preference / visual appeal. The base size only has an impact when ground scale (in this case 1:1000, iirc) is considered (if considered at all?) - it depends on how much space you want a section/...

"...on table next to the Battalion HQ, to represent/remind the player of their availability..." In addition to the artillery support, there are the 'fubar' and 'interdiction'* markers (and possibly others?) - if done on the table, I foresee some clever dioramas being devised to represent the HQ and...

While they may both be placed at the same locations, the girth of the 28mm stuff makes quite a difference. This is most noticeable wit...

re: basing and figure size In trying to decide on how to best address this with my existing stuff (6mm based for Crossfire / IABSM and 15mm based for CoC) in the hopes of having to do as little work as possible to get a game onto the table once the rules are out (Easter can't come soon enough!) I lo...

My read of the land (using Google Earth): The areas at the left and bottom of the map are depressions (~a meter below the road) and the area in the the upper right is a hill (~2 meters above the road). Tangent: As the campaign moves down the road, I recommend including the actual topography if at al...

Beevor and Powell Kindled. Thanks, all.

wroops!

Yeah...posting before coffee = not a good idea!

The Arnhem part was correct, though, so any suggestions?

What is a good first read covering the 6th Airborne action? Not looking for section-level detail, but would like something well above a Wiki page.

Thanks
