A very personal project that resulted in the following play test of a Great War Spearhead scenario, covering the involvement of New Zealand Division in the aftermath of Operation Michael: link

Nicely done. Thanks for posting. Grandpa was in the AEF not far from there later in 1918. He never talked about the war with his family so I can only guess about his experiences, short as they probably were. I would like to wargame that part of the 100 days campaign though I suspect Grandpa's part would be very favorable to the German player. |
