We played our "big game" a couple of weekends ago, a summer extravaganza in a rented hall with eight players. Played over two days, the aim was to play R. Mark Davies' Rots scenario (played in 20 mm using Battlefront WWII rules) to its 24 Turn conclusion, and true to wargamer fashion, our reach far exceeded our grasp. We did get to Turn 14, however, two turns after the arrival of the Canadian reinforcements and almost certainly the beginning of the end for the Germans, who had no reinforcements of their own. Here's the AAR link:

Brilliant stuff again, Bill! By the way, chaeck your e-mail – I've sent you a draft booklet about the battle by a chap whose father was in 46 RM Cdo and who went to Rots for the 70th Anniversary. As a result of this renewed interest in the battle, I'll be taking the sprogs there again next month. |

How nice is that table! Always love to see an AAR from you Bill; I know it's always going to be a work of art |

Yes, excellent table and AAR Richard. I am envious. |

Thanks, all. The gaming cloth got a bit "bunchy" as I tried to make the stream sunken by lining it with strips of bevelled styrofoam. I wanted to make level crossing bridges over the Mue (as they were) but I won't try that again!
Mark, I look forward to getting the booklet once my server makes friends with your server!! |

Bill, Did you receive it ok? I'm taking my group to meet the Mayor of Rots next Tuesday and we'll be doing a tour around the village, laying wreaths, etc. I'll take lots of photos! :) Mark |
