Too Fat Lardies

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

"...bunching is less of a problem when playing with 15mm figures which are a closer match to the groundscale." This. The effect of terrain is also improved = how many guys can fit behind this wall? Tangent: To spice up solo play, I've taken to rolling casualties within a team to determine which fig...

FWIW, the last of the photos have been posted - looks like I lost another game... ; )

Thanks. It's 15mm, so (more or less) game scale = ground scale, with a coverage of ~200x250 meters.

I figured it wouldn't hurt....

Oddly enough, I didn't pick any entrenchments (even though I made them...) because I thought that a)The bocage provides enoug...

Thanks for all the suggestions - looks like I need to make some entrenchments! ; )

15mm. Using the game's ground scale makes it easy to cheat with layout/design: I just use Google Earth to locate an interesting spot in the battle area, overlay a 200x250 meter outline (my table size), and then trace. A fair amount of fudging is required to allow for the use of my (cloth) field piec...
