Modular hills Awesome. I though I was the only one doing this. They are not fold flat but almost could be. For interest what height and slope are they. Mine for 1/72 are 60mm tall and slope Tan 1:2

Thanks UshCha. All my blocks are 2cm high. The slopes are a uniform 45 degrees.

Good effort by the Brits. There were a lot of battles in the 1940 campaign that were very difficult for the Germans. Those who think the French just collapsed have not read the histories on it. BTW I've bought a few of your PDFs and have played some of the scenarios with my microarmor collection. I would recommend them to anyone with an interest in playing 1940 France games.

mghFond, thank you very much and for the endorsement. I agree with you about the warped recollections of the time – when the French (and British, Belgians and Dutch for that matter) when in good tactical positions they often held their own. It was the overall operational failure more than tactical failure that settled the issue. By the way, I can't post a link to my games on this means but, if you follow the link to my blog, you will find details right at the end.
