Too Fat Lardies

I think the main lesson from mission 1 is " don't defend in the buildings!" It is too limiting. Dig trenches in the gardens - strangely enough thats what they did in real life too! 😁 Which is exactly what Dave did when we played it. I think the only team to ever occupy a building was the VB team. W...

As you know I had terrible trouble with this one and Rich said that the design factors in the Germans taking 2-3 attempts, so will be interesting to see how you two progress and if it’s possible for the French to recover from the early loss.

Crikey, that’s what I call Blitzkrieg!

Thanks. Just had a good trawl through Google maps. Interesting that the angle of the picture counts for a lot. Moving around the map, the church at St Germain de Pert is surrounded by a low wall, except on the side where it adjoins the house next to it. All the other walls appear low enough for some...

The maps for the PSC show two different types of walls. Some are in a tan colour, others are in a brick red, but there's nothing to indicate the difference between the two in the notes.

He's done a really nice job on the Sherman so far, so I am hoping we get to play this one through. We did try a...

Well I admit slthough I enjoyed the campaign the last mission did look as though Buster Keaton wrote the script.😁 Haha, appreciate the Keaton reference more than you may realise, I’ve always rated him the most highly of the silent era comedians, even as kids my brother and I would cry with laughter...

Thank you everyone, appreciate all the very positive comments. I enjoy writing these and so I'm glad to hear that you enjoy reading them. What campaign next? It looks like we'll head for Normandy and give my Americans their first blooding in 29, Let's Go!
