Hello peeps, Mark at the Wargames holiday centre has put up a little piece on my Goodwood 54mm game, I ran at the centre a coupla weeks ago. link It was a great game, with Guards Armoured finally breaking through, after horrific tank casulties. It was great fun to run such a big game, on a 28 X 21ft table, with about 70/80 vehicles, and 5/600 figures. All in glorious 1/35/32 scale, including a Typhoon.
Massive thanks to Mark, at the centre, and the other 7 players, for making it such a laugh! Rules were 'crossfire' the obvious choice for such an armour-heavy game!
Anywho, enjoy, mucho eye-candy!

John, that is a really great looking game. I like infantry a lot. |
| john lacour | 03 Feb 2013 12:03 p.m. PST |
the infantry do look great! i'm not liking the bases they are on. i guess its the sides(i assume so the stands are easier to pick up).
great setup! |

The stands ARE a comprimise, they stop people picking up the bases by the figures, with all those in-scale, very thin gun barrels, it would be carnage!!! John |

There are a few shades, I prefer the darker green of the Cromwells, its just basic Humbrol spray, er, a dark green! sorry, none left, and don't remember the shade! Thanks anyway! John |

WOW! Ditto on the trays, but I understand the need due to some of the meat misted gamers out there, who don't appreciate the amount of work that goes into this. |

John – you are utterly mad ….love it.. but then i knew you were mad as you dressed up and rode horses to fight the French.. |

John – fantastic as always. And I know I should be looking at the armour, but what really impresses me is teh amount of really nice terrain you have built up. That really makes the game, and is the big stumbling block for me to venture into 54mm gaming in any serious way. I think you need to sort out an article for one of the mags showing us lesser mortals some hints and tips (please :-) ) Marc |

Incidentally, John 54, I don't know if it's of any interest, but the Museum of London sells quite nice 1/32 red telephone boxes, painted and ready to go, in metal, for £4.00 GBP |

TOPS! John I see you are a fellow Cambridgeshire man That makes three of us. Suitably impressed – great looking game. |

Blimey that's big! Are these the same figures, tanks etc used in the huemungus Arnhem game at Salute a few years ago? |
| By John 54 | 07 Feb 2013 3:43 a.m. PST |
Some of them were used, yes, but l've added
A lot since, more Shermans, German Hotchkiss
Conversions, tiger lls, Luftwaffe Field
Division infantry, some SS infantry, M3
Halftracks to motorise the Guards infantry,
A silly amount, really! John |

Like the rest said. WOW! What a treat. |

Madness , don't you know there's a recession on . All the same, it is rather good. |

Thank god for genuinely outrageous wargame projects….I stand (sit) in awe. |
