Game 15 of replaying the Briton Publishers Operation Jupiter skirmish scenario book. This is the third and last game I played over a day against the 12 year old son of a friend. A very tense game is was too with the British having to exist one side of the table with over 50% of their forces. But those forces were slowly being whittled down and it was a close run thing. I was the Germans and the British made it. The boy won all three games that day!

Awesome fight again, a very close run thing. I've got many of Ben's books, but Operation Jupiter is by far my favorite.

"L" is to be commended, but I will also say that the German commander deserves a summary court Martial for the poor placement and employment of his machine gun team! ;)

V/R,

It was great placement if the British came over the bridge…and pointless if they came over the ford. Well spotted – there were better places to put it!

Shaun,

Just kidding buddy! I know you know where to put the MG, i was insinuating you were cutting the little guy some husk!

V/R,
Jack
