Nick and Rich are planning 2 Participation games at Salute - Infamy, Infamy and a Market Garden CoC game.

If you've not tried a PSC yet, then I can heartily recommend Martlet (SS vs Brits. at the start ion Operation Epsom) and 29 Let...

If you have a 3 and a 2 then the Leader can remove shock with the 3 as this doesn’t count as an unit activation and then activate the team to move and go tactical on the 2!
