Hi all,
We played an interesting little scenario using IABSM3 and recreating the fight to control the little village of Pouppeville on D Day.

With Pouppeville on exit one from Utah beach, speed was of the essence to clear the village of its German garrison and our game's result rested on that key aspect. If you would like to see how things turned out and the adaptations made to the scenario then follow the link to the DWG Blog

Sounds like a great game! I particularly appreciate the bit of misdirection at the beginning. I'm sure the German player will remember that fondly for some time.

Hi Primalucem,
Thank you, we had a lot of fun and it certainly provided plenty of swings of fortune. Yes being an umpire/gamemeister is such fun when you have to raise your deception game. If the tabletop German commander felt phased imagine how the chap who had to do it for real must have felt!
